5'3", 147 pounds, looking for friends, exercises, or suggest

I'm 5'3" as well, but I'm at around 160lbs right now. I can agree with the boob part though, I always joke that I should get a waiver for my upper chest area when we have weigh-ins. Anyway, about 4 years ago I lost about 60 lbs and was at 120. I know changes happened, but it was unnoticeable to myself until I had coworkers pointing it out. However that was different, I worked in a bookstore and became vegan, this time I'm in the military and I work out about 8-9 times a week, 6 of them being 1.5-2hr sessions of cardio and weight training. So to answer your question...I have no idea, and I'm rambling.

Hi there, here's my story if you want to read how I got down from 157 (yikes!) to 120. I'm 5' 2.5" and lost 37 pounds total, am now in maintenance. I did the 30-Day Shred, Ripped in 30, 6 Week 6 Pack, and am still branching out. One thing to point out is that it will take time to see results. A week is a great investment, but you may not see truly noticeable results for many weeks to come. For me, it took 5-6 weeks to see REAL results, but that's me. Remember that you are changing things from the inside out, so even if you can't see results, things are happening! Good luck!

i'm 5'2 and i started at 165 and got down to 121. I stopped working out and now im back at 135-137 so im getting back on track to get back down to 120. Feel free to add me

Good luck we can share and exchange tips!

I am 5 5 and currently at 158. My lowest weight was 122 but i felt too thin up top then. 126 is my goal weight. I am getting there again but it is taking time. I am determined to do it this time and stick to it.
What is 6 week 6 pack like? I just ordered it and would like a little rundown if ok?

It has two workouts, a beginner level and an advanced level. It uses one weight, HIIT, and gets you in a sweat if you work hard. There are some core exercises, but since it's common knowledge that just doing crunches isn't going to get you a six-pack, the exercises also work on burning all-over fat. In particular, the advanced level has a five-minute warm-up, one-handed weight exercises like hammer lunges, side abduction, standing crunches, leg-weight pass-throughs, bicycles (on the floor), t-stand kicks, burpees, regular crunches, and mountain climbers. I missed a few in there, but you get the idea.

I agree. I just started 30 Day Shred and after only 3 days ordered Ripped in 30. I'll probably get 6W6P next. They are awesome DVDs that you can do in the comfort of your own home and I know 30DS is only 20 min. But don't let that fool you; it's a workout! My core has never been stronger and it's only been 8 days. I can't wait to see the results after 30.

Good story, too, btw.

I suggest some cardio kickboxing (I love TurboFire) Jillian Michaels is great too:) (I do-- No More Trouble Zones, Killer Buns&Thighs)

I'm pretty much on par with you height abd weight. I'm 5'4" abd 148
Looking to be 140 and see where I want to go from there.

If you don't have the money for a DVD system, YouTube has a pretty promising
Regime called be fit in 90, best thing is that it's free! I'm planning
To start it tomorrow, and I'd love a buddy to motivate!

Even if you don't, it'd be nice to add each other as friends since our starting
points and end points are essentially the same!

Health and happiness to you!

Hi All..I'm new to MFP, signed up 3 dys ago after recommendations by an online friend who lost over 30 lbs. and by my doctor who also is a member.

I am 5'4", I have my full "story" is on my profile but basically I was ill in 2008 and was out-of-commission for over a year. Despite a healthy diet (most of the time ), I went from130 to 163...my highest weight ever! I hated the way I looked and felt so as soon as I could start exercising again, I vowed to lose weight. I finally was able to exercise but I have to starat slowly due to having fibromyalgia...but slow is better than none. I journaled what I ate and found a few things to cut out of my diet that I really didn't need. In 5 months, I lost 18 lbs....I was thrilled, still a way to go but I was feeling more like myself and getting toned :happy: . I had to take a break due to multiple things going on in my life, especially moving my elderly Dad up our way, but maintained the weight loss. I was going to resume the healthy eating and exercise in October but got hit with several back-to-back illnesses and gained some weight back on due to having to take prednisone for a month. So I;m starting now at 153, my hope was to get back to 130 again but got a shocker when my doctor said I should weight 145. Hmmm, think i want to get lower but for now I'm aiming for 145 and will go from there. The main thing is taking the weight off, keeping it off and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Since being on MFP, I've been drinking more water, exercising again (albeit short periods for now) and keeping track of the calories...they sure add up fast but I've been under my limit every day.

Feel free to add me..I love meeting new people and, being a nurse (although not working right now), I care about and encourage others. I also like to be positive and have a sense of humor. We all can do this together!!

I'm also 5'3" and 150 pounds. This is my second go with MFP. I'm also looking for some friends with the same goals as me. I'd also like to be around 125 but we'll see. I'm considering doing 30 Day Shred but right now I work out at home with EA Sports Active on PS3 and I also go to my community rec center a couple days/week with my sister. Feel free to add me guys! Also looking for people with open food diaries, its nice to be able to see what people eat, it motivates me to eat better and makes me feel good when I've had a bad eating day!

So have you ever reached your goal. If so what did you do to get there?
