  • I am 5'0 and choose anywhere between 105-110 lbs. I feel it is a good weight to eat what I want but not be stick skinny. My lowest was about 102 lbs.

  • SW: 116.6 lbs (as of October) GW: 114 lbs (for November) UGW: 110 lbs November 4, 2016: 117.6 lbs November 11, 2016: 116.8 lbs November 18, 2016: November 25, 2016: 116 lbs again and feeling good about the maintaining considering working out has been lost on me.
  • I am also 5'0 and a half. I am about 117 lbs right now, which is about middle on BMI. My goal weight it to be about 105 lbs. I totally understand people not comprehending how limited petite people are in terms of weight gain. 5 lbs can set us off and up a jean size.
  • I've never looked into it, but I am sure there is a study somewhere. My only explanation in regards to my statement is from experience. The general population of the United States has always complained of gaining weight from breads and pastas, but the majority of my family never faces weight gain from a dish of macaroni…
  • Genetics is huge part of bone structure, weight gain, and what you eat that may cause weight gain. My family is Italian and all my siblings grew up eating macaroni regularly for meals. If you come to my house, macaroni and sauce is healthy in our house. Why? Because based on our genetics, we benefit more from spaghetti and…
  • I made it to the second week on C to 5K after a month or so of the first week. I'm not a runner but I'm making it B)
  • You look so good! You definitely notice the difference. You look much more toned in the second pic. Keep going, you are doing amazing!
  • I've had terrible eczema since birth. My best advice is too drink plenty of water and take plenty of showers to hydrate and moisturize your skin. I know its basic advice, but this is all I can say. Try to invest in a clarisonic, find a hydrating cleanser and moisturizer. I use Clinique daily moisturizer and CeraVe…
  • I'm a size 6 but would like to be a size 3. USA size in women. It seems small but I am a small person so a size 3 is realistic.
  • I understand, I am in college at the moment too. Sometimes I am so tired I just want to sleep instead of go to gym. When I get stressed I will just continue for a few days until I realize I need to get back on track. My advice is eat what you want, but realize at the end of the day you have a commitment to yourself to eat…
  • I am 5'0, almost 5'1. My weight currently is 117 lbs. My ideal weight is around 105-110 lbs. As much as I am small framed, I still have curves that give a little extra weight. I felt underweight when I was 102 lbs. I am short legged (they don't look long), but my waist is very long. I think my body is more hour glass…

The fact that I am still 117 lbs is a good sign that my weight loss is sticking. But something about the weight…
  • At the moment, it is how good I feel after exercising. I just need to do it more often. That and how exercising shapes my body. It is soo rewarding. <3
  • I am 5'0 and a half and currently weigh 116 lbs. My starting weight was 123 lbs. I started out at about 1200 calories and made an effort to work out. Now I am at about 1300 calories because 1200 is hard to maintain when I have things I desire to eat. My advice: Us short people have to workout to lose our weight. We can try…

  • Typical Day: Breakfast (292 calories): Medium Roast Coffee (1 k-cup), Non-dairy Rich and Creamy Coffee Creamer (2 tbsp), Ambrosia apple, Banana Lunch (362 Calories): Romane Lettuce with shredded cheese and ranch dressing, ham and cheese sandwich on white bread. Dinner: Totally depends but usually eat 300-500 calories…
  • I do count calories, but I do not count the calories while I am eating. I total everything I ate that day, if I went over a little I do not worry about it. If you feel you are fine without counting calories and can maintain a healthy diet, than don't waste your time. :)

  • Great job! You're an inspiration to me, I am trying my best. I don't eat my calories back either but still eat at least 1200 a day.
  • Yes, I try to stick to 1200-1400 a day. I don't get hungry and I am maintaining my weight lost so far on about 1300 a day. I don't eat back calories I eat, or try not to. I am only 5'0, so any calories lost are pretty valuable ;)

  • I'm 5'0 and eat about 1200 a day, on weekends though it is usually higher. If anyone wants to complain about 1200 calories, I make up for it on the weekends. It depends on your activity level and individual needs/wants in your daily diet. By "diet," I mean what you usually eat during the day and what you like to eat.
  • When I was about 15, I was getting ready for bed. I was brushing my hair, the lights were off except for a lamp and TV. I was looking straight into a mirror so everything I could see was behind me. A black shadow figure passed behind me. The figure was about 6'0 and looked to be a man, and walked super slow. It disappeared…

  • Thank you for starting a new topic! I can't wait for October :D 5 lbs was a bit of an unrealistic goal for a month. So for October, my goal is to lose 2 pounds.
