    Someone at 5'3" "might" look chunky at 140 but someone 5'9" is gonna be skinny.

    :grumble: :angry: :mad: :explode:

    Yes, I'm that shorty thats chunky at 141. :sad: I'm 5'1.5. I was 162 last year when I started in January... lost 20 and then took the winter off :embarassed: Now i'm back to defeat the next 20+

    :laugh:
    Can I just have your 141 then??? or even your 162????

    The "before" picture was me when I started last year at 144lbs. The after is me at 126. I gained 2lbs back over the holidays then decided I really want to lose a bit more. I'm going for 115 with a body fat % of 25 or less. I'm at 127 now, body fat 29%.

    PS - I turned 50 in September. If I can do it, you sure can.

    I am 5' 3.5"
    In the first picture I was about 140 (maybe 145). In the next I am at my goal weight of 120 and working on toning now

    For me personally, I think you look way better at 145. You are thin and fit, and curvy in the right spots, without too much. Just my personal opinion, not trying to criticize or judge.

    Wow!!! I really needed to see this today. I've been getting frustrated that I'm not losing anymore, even though I'm doing weights. I *know* muscle weighs more, but it's still discouraging when the scale stops moving.

    Awesome! I started at 142-145 and am down to 136-138 (it fluctuates) but can't wait to keep trekking down to those 120's. It's so wonderful to see the support on here. If I get brave I'll post some pics too...

    Good luck everyone!

    It is! I've had that problem for over a week, but after getting some compliments today, I measured and found that I was losing inches instead of pounds.

    I'm also 5'5" and heading for 125-128. Can't wait to finally hit near those numbers!

    so for those of you that broke through your barriers and are maintaining in the 120s to 130, HOW DID YOU DO IT??

    did you average a half lb a wk for the last 10lbs?
    did you workout 5 or 6 or 7 days a week?
    did you switch to more strength, than cardio?
    did you eat 1100-1300 cals or more like 1300-1500 with your workouts?
    did you follow a certain food plan, or just track on mfp?

    i am at 139, goal weight 130-132. my entire closet of clothes is for the 132s. I am 5'8".
    i have one pair of joes jeans that are forgiving, and my 11 year old daughter asked me for the 2nd time in 2 months, "Are those your favorite jeans, Mom?" You see, she knows i have about 7 other pair of jeans in my closet, but what she DOESN't know is that they DON'T FIT!

    It's hard to keep up the motivation, when
    1)you're not at your heaviest(heaviest 222 pregnant with daughter)
    2)you're not on your way down with momentum behind you(i was maintaining at 130 for over a year and a half and then too many trips, stress, etc.)
    3)i'll get down to 136 after 3 wks of consistent clean eating, still not fit in my clothes, lose motivation, and pop back up to 140-142. CYCLE, PATTERN, yes, i see it.

    Just wondering if any of the people that are currently maintaining at THEIR feel good weight, and can relate to any of the above please send me a message or post. PLEASE :)

    Some one once asked me when I was 130, how's life different at 130 vs 155 or a size 4 vs a 10.
    My reply was,"I still have the same husband, kids, and house. I will not be on the cover of a magazine, but I have always wanted to be thin, not skinny, thin and FEEL GOOD in my clothes and skin.z'

    I loved going to the closet and thinking about what matches and what haven't i worn lately instead of what fits."
