Hello! Height: 5' Current weight: 116 Ideal weight: 102-105 Getting married on 8/12 and would love to get as close as I can to the higher end of my goal weight!

Indeed we don't, but when the pounds come on they're visible instantly! Really appreciate everyone's suggestions on here. I might consider switching to low impact cardio and sticking to current weight routine to avoid hunger pangs and see if i can maintain cals in the 1400 range. Seems like it may work better for those who…

Right sorry, so you create a calorie deficit thru food from your TDEE (which is lightly active, including mostly weight training)?

I could've believed that except that a few years ago I was able to get to my goal doing exactly as I do now, but now it's just not having the same results. I'm in my early 30s and this was just a few years ago so hopefully my metabolism didn't drop that much just yet...

Interesting. Do you lift after a deficit from your TDEE?

That's my goal weight actually. How often do you run and how many miles at a time? On a good day I can do 6 but so drained after that can only do 4 or 5 for the rest of the week with rest in btwn. Running is great but it hurts my legs so I need to recover after. Bit then running always makes me ravenous so I can easily…

@LisaEatSleepRun wow congratulations on your success! That's huge progress for anyone especially petite ladies. I'd love to up my daily movement aside from the several weekly workouts but have a 40+ hour a week office job. Maybe adding an hour's walk will help with the calorie burn. Thanks for the advice!

I'm not super consistent but overall 45-50% carbs with the remainder equally from protein and fat. Don't think that I can handle fasting (would get too hungry and just overeat everything). Do you have a heavier dinner so that you can skip breakfast?

@thatdesertgirl777 that would be amazing! Thank you!

I do log (and weigh) all solids and most liquids (in the form of skim milk in my coffee). The rest of the liquids are water and no calories drinks. No medical reasons except that I am short (5 ft) and don't weigh a lot in the grand scheme of things, which means that I just need much less calories to maintain, and even less…

Thanks!! I'll def check it out.
