Hi, Can totally sympathise with you, I'm a mum of 5, 111lbs now, post menopausal for the last 3 years. Know how hard it is to get weight off, I'm only 5 ft myself so appreciate the struggle when you don't have the height to carry it off. Like you I've always been a slim person, but over the years the combination of…

Sorry to hear what you've been thru, Hope you feel better soon.

Supplement with some magnesium spray, will help x

Yes I try and eat between 12- 1500 depending on how active I've been, do not go very low, you will not lose weight that way.

Lovely, well done!!

Fab!!!!!

Hi I'm 54 5ft At my heaviest 154lbs, started on here in 2015, weight has come off slowly, with lots of ups and downs along the way. Have been doing a lot of IF for some time found that really helps also high fats, but good ones help to keep you fuller for longer. Now at 112 so only want to lose another 4-5 pounds.

Have been doing 16:8 on and off for a while, I love it, have lost nearly 3 st (41lbs). Combined with LCHF works for me. Find it helps not to eat too much wheat or sugar, not good for me, as much as I might want it.

5ft 119lbs

5ft mum of 5 123lbs at the moment, would like to lose another 7-10 lbs. Know how hard it is when you are this height, every pound gained shows!!

You look amazing Keke, see how your confidence can soar when you feel good. Keep it up and even if you have some bad days( which we all do) just don't give in, you have so much to look forward to!!

You can add me too. 126lbs wanting to lose another 10 at least!!

Ready to start again, also failed during the hols Roughly 126 lbs Would like to get off another 10 maybe more. Carbs do not agree with me as much as I like them!!

Well done!! I too tend to cut bread and carbs, so hard over Christmas but back on the trail today!! Feel free to add me

I'm also 53 and in that time of life, have plateaued for months now or had the same couple of pounds going up and down, determined to kick it this year!! Mum of 5 only 5ft tall. Add me if you'd like support, we can help each other.

Looking for likeminded friends on here, I'm 53 mum of five, looking to lose these last few pounds ( 10 at least). Only 5ft tall which doesn't help, so any gain shows instantly!! Please feel free to add me as a friend will encourage and support.

Thank you, have been doing yoga for 25 years so it helps, sorry to hear your stories, sounds like you have really been suffering.

As someone who has suffered from sciatic and piriformis issues in my leg for years, some days it is so hard to exercise, run, walk. Find I get some good relief from the tennis ball, but what I find helps a lot if you use it everyday is something called Sacrowedgy you can get it on amazon and they have a website, may help…

Hi I'm Lindsey, 5ft 126lbs mum of five from London, just wants to lose those last few pounds and tone up, 7-9 lbs would be good!!

Lost 2 stone and think that's hard going, fab work you look amazing!!

Know the feeling, up and down all the time, I am trying the maca powder seems to be helping my energy levels.

Miso soup is good.

Hi girls, I'm 5" and mum of 5. 120 lbs Have been trying for years to shift the Preggy belly and thunder thighs, tend to do mainly cardio at the moment, and I try and eat a healthy diet, biggest problem is my love of choccie!! Doesn't help that I'm menopausal too and at 53 the weight just doesn't shift so easily. If anyone…

Understand how you feel, have the same problem, my weight has refused to budge no matter what I try, whether I weigh correctly, eat healthily exercise etc, maybe I'm not eating enough, but I'm only a small person, any suggestions?

Think my problem was to do with the fact that I had a really bad tooth infection and was put on strong antibiotics which I hear can upset your system, since then nothing again.

Fab!! Well done

Let me know what happens, hope all goes well.

Probably likely, the things we have to go through. Maybe you should be careful with your diet too, although don't know what types of food you are eating.

Think it's to do with hormones esp oestrogen levels, also find it hard to shift esp around middle. Oh the joys!!

My weight goes up and down more times than a yoyo!! It's so frustrating and yet I've proved I can lose weight, but seems so hard at this stage of life. Wish the choc bar didn't love me so much
