    Hi,

    I'm 5ft2 and 120lbs!!

    I go to the gym 2 or 3 times per week, burning around 500 calories each time (treadmill, rowing, stepper), but my weight just won't budge at all :(
    I'm also making extra effort to drink more water as I was drinking hardly any before, but now I'm up to about 1.5litres per day.

    I'm going to start filling in my food diary again as I became so de-motivated that I just gave up with it.
    My calories are set at 1200 per day, does that sound about right?

    Is there anything else that I could be doing to help kick-start the weight loss?

    Any tips or advice would be fab!!!

    Laura :)

    Hiya, I'm 5'2 and 120lbs. I've lost 13lbs since January and I'm trying to keep it off and start building muscle. Unfortunately, I can't motivate myself to go to the gym on my own and once I'm home the TV keeps calling my name! but I've come a long way and I'm not giving up! I can do this!!!

    laurajd28: try to get in at least 30 minutes of cardio every day it should help. Also 1200 calories is right, that's what I'm at. Just have to be patient it takes time.

    Hi! I'm 5ft 4" and currently 122lbs, looking to get to 115lbs - I would also love to have more friends with similar body types, or anyone who's already under 115lbs so I can see how it's done! Anyone can feel free to add me!

    Hey there:

    I'm 5'4 and 125 pounds (five pounds over my ideal weight) and I feel like everything is skin tight...I know what you mean, even one pound seems like ten on a smaller frame.

    I'm pulling for all you girls, stay focus and keep your eye on the prize!

    I totally agree with you about every little pound showing. I am 4"10 and over 130lbs but not for long! I am working hard to get back to my 100lb body! Hopefully less than that because at my height anything over 100lbs looks like too much. Not only is it hard to find clothes in the correct sizes as far as weight but us petites have a hard time finding clothes that are not too long. Shopping for clothes can be frustrating and time consuming for us petites.

    Yeah I have to get every pair of pants taken up, doesn't quite look right, and at $15 a pop makes shopping a bit more expensive!

    By the way, wait till you get pregnant (assuming you haven't already been) shopping for maternity clothes is hell! I guess petite women aren't thought to get pregnant :/

    Have you tried a cleansing diet or Cleansing pills? A few years ago I got stuck the way you are describing. I went on a 30 day regime and the pounds started melting at the same rate I was seeing before.

    I just joined MFP- add me if you would like to compare notes! :)
