Hi! I'm 5'4 too and started at 151lb so more or less the same as you. I lost 20lbs and honestly didn't see a difference, I used to think to myself how much weight loss is it going to take?! As soon as I hit 30lbs I was SO encouraged! I actually saw a difference and it got me really excited for further progress. I was 121lb…

I'm 5'4 and my start weight (in Feb) was 151lbs, last time I weighed I was 121lbs BUT I went on holiday and ate loads and likely gained 2lbs maybe more! Im not going to weigh myself just yet as I know I'll feel discouraged about the gain, so I'm just getting back on track and will probably weigh in a couple of weeks! I…

Oh my goodness I was going to post about accutane yesterday but I didn't think anybody else would have heard of it! I've been on accutane since Feb, the same month I started my weight loss journey. I was 68kg when I started, and was on 40mg per day until 3 weeks ago when my derm upped my dosage to 50mg per day. Since March…

Thank you everyone! What type of warm up should I be doing?

@synacious Thank you!! Your progress pictures are truly inspiring!! You look absolutely amazing. Were you eating at maintenance since June 2015? Or slightly below? And what sort of program have you been following? Unfortunately I was too scared to eat close to maintenance, I was just thinking "I want to lose all this fat…

I don't use MFP activity level - at least I don't think I do. I just set my calories myself and record my workouts separately!

If you clicked 'Progress', click the top right tab and select a different date range!

Oops should have made that clearer. I meant, going back to cardio 7 days a week or only do strength training. That kind of thing!

How come? My break from gym started 2 weeks ago by the way
-
Wow! Well done everyone, really impressive results!

Thanks everyone. I was using a barbell for squats and was only on 20kg. I only put 10kg on either side of smith machine, I just wanted to see how I liked it. It felt extremely unnatural and I will never use it again. I have literally only just started following strong lifts, for the first few weeks I was doing squats with…

@Jams009 thanks so much for the info! Literally just made another post about the lifting etc and you've answered a lot of my questions. Thank you!

Thanks everyone! I definitely think I'll be losing weight beyond my goal, and will def do recomp. When do you think I should begin recomp? I haven't started anything yet as I have (minor) surgery next week so I would have to take a short break and I was looking at doing one of those 12 week programs. @Jams009 What do you…

Out of interest, do you guys feel like you look close to your goal weight? I kind of feel like my last 12 pounds aren't going to make much of a difference but I really hope they do! @foxygirl14 @CSBmommy

Hello! Our stats are very similar.. Start weight: 151lb Current weight: 132lb Goal weight: 120lb 5'3 Female 23 years old I started my journey in mid Feb and I started by eating at a deficit with no exercise, other than walking (I was recovering from an injury.) Then roughly 5 weeks ago I started at the gym and have been…

Almost ashamed to say I did not read the manual before I used them! I only bought these this week, I had been weighing at the gym every Sunday previously. Now that I've read the manual I can see that if the scales have been moved I need to 'initialise' them again, by pressing with my foot, letting it turn on and then…

Thanks everyone, off I go to lay them flat! Was worried about my little one playing with them so will have to find somewhere she can't see them.

@misskarne @kazminchu Sorry, I should have worded that better! I mean all of the excess fat, I hope that makes sense, the fat that is very soft and flabby to pinch!
-
@SonyaCele Thank you for your reply! I just tried squeezing from the top and feel as though I lose the squeeze as I sit back in to the squat, until I don't feel it at all. Is this normal? @SarahPeters3 Thank you! You say it's a slower process, did you mean losing the fat or gaining muscle? Thanks for the tips I will…

Thank you everyone your info has been really helpful! I ordered a copy of Strong Curves, it looks like that will really help me. I have another question, should I be aiming to lose my fat before starting on programs such as Stronglifts or Strong Curves? Thanks again really appreciate the replies!
