Just wondering if there are any ladies out there with similar goals!? I'm 5'4 and want to lose 10-15 pounds......
What are you eating? What exercises are you doing? Sometimes the last 10 pounds are AWFUL!

I'd like to lose around 15! How many calories are you guys eating? That's what I'm struggling to figure out. 0

I am in ! I have been in for the last 4 weeks and have lost an additonal 6 lbs to the 44lbs (used to be 183lbs) that I already lost. I now have 8lbs to go to reach my 125lb goal. I am 5`2.
The last 10-15 lbs are supposedly the hardest, but ladies .....I think we can kick *kitten* ! We got this ! Look how far we have already come.
We can do this !!!!0 -
5'5" with 9lbs to go and STUCK! Ugh! The rest came off so easy compared to now.
Of course I stopped being as committed as I was too until recently. Getting back at it and forcing myself to STICK TO IT and lose it! (I'd be happy to lose inches instead of lbs too though) 0 -
Very similar situation here, 5'3" and I want to lose about 20 (maybe 25) more.0

Exactly where I am as well, it's difficult to fit in a workout lately, so I've been trying to eat healthy to make up for it. I've discovered some delicious salads. 0

I am totally understanding this. I just started this fitness pal on line yesterday and I am liking it. How long have you been doing it? I am not quite sure how to log my work outs with weights, so if you are a veteran and can tell me , that would be great.
I am usually not disiplined enough to follow something like this, but I look at it as a wake up more then a diet. I made a sald for lunch and can not believe the calories in dressing... Yikes!
Good Luck !0 -

I am eating 1200 calories per day. When I exercise I eat half or all those calories depending on the day and how I feel. I drink 8-12 cups of water per day and I exercise 3-5 times a week minimum.
Each person is different, so you need to figure out what is best for you.0 -

BTW....trick for salad dressings : When you go to the restaurant and you don`t know what the calories are in a dressing, ask for it on the side. When it is time to eat your salad, dip your fork into the dressing then get that salad on the fork. You still get that amazing taste without the extra calories.0 -
5'2 and a half I'll say 5'3 lol but these last ten wont come off! I just want to be between 120 and 125, its quite frustrating I took a break and now I'm back at it again hoping this will help me break the plateau. I hear this helps for some people. I'm doing Insanity with some jogging here and there. I know I dont eat enough but thats hard for me.0

I'm 5' 3" and trying to lose the last 6-8 lbs (I fluctuate) since July . . . it's quite hard. I'm working on my eating (Thanksgiving put a dent in my plans) but want to make my goal by the end of the year. I workout hard (30DayShred/Insanity/Interval Running/Stepmill/Heavy Lifting) but the eating can be a struggle around this time.0
-
I'm in the same area roughly. I would like to lose another 20. It's hard because my husband went the "quick" route by virtually eating nothing and he's at his goal weight already, so he's on maintenance. It's hard when you and your spouse are on totally different wavelengths.0

me!!! Current 123.6 goal 110! I'm like 5'3 ish.. depends what leg i stand on.
Last month of insanity! first 5k this weekend
Then on to Chalean Extreme!0 -
im 5'4" and have lost almost 35 lbs. ive been stuck for well over a month though. the last 10lbs are a B*TCH!0

I'm right with you...I'm 5'4 too and started out on mfp with 12lbs to lose (I'd already lost 2lb before signing up) and I'm 7lbs down now. I'm starting to struggle a bit now, altho I can feel the difference in my clothes. I'm on 1270 cals before exercise, some days I'm well within, other days (like today) I'm struggling not to go over0 -
I've been on since May and have lost 20 lbs. I've been at my current weight about a month, so I'm stepping up my strength training. (I just started "New Rules of Lifting for Women.") I'm hoping to gain more muscle, lose some more fat. I'm actually now more concerned about my body composition than the number on the scale.0

I'm 5'4 and need to lose about 8 pounds. (I'm more concerned with body fat percentage) I am going to start doing bodybuilding.com woman's lean & sexy bible. It's a twelve week program of strength training. My goal is to have arms and a back that look like yours. I'd like to lose 8 lbs of fat and gain 5 pounds of muscle. Long way to go!0 -

Im in! Im 5'3 at 149 but have 20 to go...maybe a few more depending on how I feel when I reach 129. It truly is harder once you get closer to your goal weight and it can be very frustrating. Im focusing on watching my calories but have changed my MFP settings to only lose 1/2 lb per week based on some advice I received here. Plus, Im upping my circuit/weight training versus cardio. Still doing some cardio but Im really trying to build muscle to tone up and burn more calories with the extra muscle. So much work but SO worth it!!
WE CAN DO THIS!! 0 -
i'm 5'5 and I wanna lose around 5-10 pounds!!!!!!! we can do this sista0

You're all right..WE CAN DO THIS....:) Even if it takes a bit longer than we'd like.....0

I'm 5'0 and aiming to lose 7-10 lbs by Jan 7th, when I'm going on a cruise. I am trying out this 'primal' way of eating simply because I was SO freaking bored with the plain old regular carb, moderate protein, lower fat way of eating. So far I really like it. I just want to get back into athletic shape in general because this semester I've been working 45-60 hrs per week and I have gotten all...squishy!0

Heck ya we can! I'm planning for atleast another 6 months until I'm shredded! People think I'm crazy when I say I have 8 pounds to lose and plan on it taking 6 months. >_<0 -
almost 5'4 and need to loose at least 10-12 pounds. It is hard for me to find the time right now as we homeschool and that is a priority. Not to mention getting my holiday tasks done. So I try to eat no more than 1800 cals a day. Drink lots of water. Stay active and hopefully the workouts will be back in routine here soon.
Good luck.0 -

Me too. Ugh.
I've decreased my calories to about 1400 per day and I'm not eating back exercise calories anymore. I tried that whole increase your calories to lose more thing and it did not work for me.
I run and do some exercise videos (mostly Jillian Michaels). I am hoping to break out of this rut I've been in. I'd like to lose 10-12 more pounds.0 -
i'm 5'4 & 158 lbs i want to be around 130 - 135. i just need to stick with a plan, mainly what i eat.0
