OT...how do you delete posts on here? I tried to delete the previous one and it only gave me the option to edit it not delete :/

Never mind, never mind....I'm in!

Hi all... Is anyone on here in the petite maintenance group? I have received no response and I am beginning to wonder if this group has become inactive? Has anyone used the link that Heather provided and been accepted?

So refreshing to meet ladies like myself that have similar goals! I am 5'0, 46 yo. Met my goal weight of 105lbs about six months ago and had some medication changes and began gaining back, but honestly was slacking also. Got up to 115 and I am currently 110, with 5 lbs to re-lose. Never really gave maintenance a try, but…

@Evamutt: I bet you are hungry at 5'4 and 1200 calories bc I'm 5'0 and I am hungry on 1200 unless I workout and eat some of those calories back. My rate of loss is set at 1/2 lb a week, 1200 cal and I have lost 24lbs doing that, it just took me longer, but that's okay. I just started getting back into strength training and…

Has anyone tried to join The petite maintenance group using the link provided in this thread, and been added to the group? I have tried and have not been added. Maybe the group admin is on vacation?

I did try to join..said my reason for requesting to join was 8 characters too long...tried to shorten it and not sure if it went through.

Awesome, thank you!

A Petite Maintainers group like this would be awesome

I try to come in under my calorie goal Mon-Fri, and splurge on the weekends so that I don't feel deprived. I do still work out on weekends as well. I met my goal weight this way and it works for me.

I am very happy to find this thread! I have been trying to find some friends on MFP that are like minded and consistent with workouts and would've never thought of height! I am 5'0", 46 yo. Met my goal weight of 105 about 6 months ago, but gained some of it back after a medication change and trying to re-lose those lbs. I…

Yes I agree....both are important. Can't imagine not doing any cardio when working out

@mk2fit: at first what I was reading sounded so complicated, but I found an article that simplified it for me. It's basically what I've known for years: strength training is where the magic happens. Muscle burns fat, so adding a slightly more intense strength training component to your work outs makes you leaner. The times…

Anybody tried body recomposition? I am thinking of trying that once I re-lose these couple of pounds I put on over the past 6 months. If you've tried it, have you had any success with it? It sounds like exactly what I need to lose some remaining body fat even though I am at my goal weight.

Awesome, thank you! I weigh in on Friday's so I will update then.

Can someone tell me how you copy previous comments where they show up in the gray box as "such and such wrote;" I am not used to the group forums on here. Ty!

Monica: "Remembering that absolutely nothing is off limits but there is a limit (i.e. Calorie goal) as to how much of it I eat - that keeps me on my game" ITA! That's my philosophy as well and that's why I love MFP!

Name: Peyton 5'0" SW: 125 GW: 105 (met 6 mos ago) CW: 108 Total Weight lost: 20 lbs Time it took to lose: several years on/off MFP How long in maintenance: 6 months Maintenance weight range: 105 Hi everyone. I met my goal weight ~ 6 months ago, but have not really tried a maintenance program on MFP, but would like to give…

Hi...I met my goal weight several months ago and I would like to continue on MFP and try a maintenance program. Can anyone recommend a group for maintainer's? Even though I'm at my goal weight, I still would like to lose some remaining body fat and gain lean muscle. TIA and Happy New Year!

Hi... I reached my goal a few months back and want to continue on MFP with a maintenance program. Anyone know of a good group to join on here for maintainers, that might be of help to me? TIA and Happy New Year!

Hey there ladies. I am still here and hanging in! Had a good week last week and met my workout and calorie goals for the week. This week I am behind on my strength training but on track for cardio workouts. Also have not done a good job coming in under my calories, but will try and get back on track. I saw a new gyno…

Hi Beth! (Waves) So happy to have you here! This is a sweet group of gals :) Lisa: Yes, I do circuit training too. That way I'm moving from thing to thing versus being bored to death on one piece of equipment. Sounds like you had an awesome soccer workout Karla: an injection behind the eye sounds extremely painful, I hope…

Hey Patti....Found it! But had to use the search function and narrow search to the limit only to groups. Thank you! Lisa: I LOVE bacon! I went over on my calories one night last week because I made French toast and bacon for dinner. I would've been fine had I stopped at two pieces of bacon, but there was some left over and…

Morning ladies! Wanted to pop in to say hi. I am so impressed with the way everyone is working out! Patti: I saw that new workout you posted about and I did a class like that last year and it just about killed me! It was so intense and the instructor was in her 50's and I kept thinking I could do it, but had to ditch it…

Hi Ladies! Please forgive me for my absence this week. I have missed you all, but I have struggled with a really persistent headache that I have had in the past due to thyroid medication changes. Too long of a history to share but, had a very rough week with the headaches as far as concentration on anything. I was able to…

Hey ladies! Wanted to stop in and say "Hi!" And I'm still here. Haven't had a chance to read all the way thru, but Karla saw your amazing loss, woot woot!!! That's awesome, so happy for you! Well I ddin't have a problem resisting those chocolate chip cookies, but I baked some cookies this morning that got me! A patient…

Oh, Hey Myra...I see your state is getting hit pretty hard too! Are you all doing okay?

Karla: I was worried about you when we didn't hear from you in a few days. Thank you for your very kind words. You are so sweet. And please don't apologize for venting or having a bad day, my goodness we all have those and if I could give you a hug I surely would. I am thankful that this seems like a safe place where we…

Hey Everyone! Hope you ladies are enjoying all the blessings in store for you this day. Woke up to about 4 inches of more snow, instead of freezing rain overnight, so that was good. And I am thrilled to see that this winter storm has missed us so far. Amazing really...on the radar, it is moving above us and below us, but…

Hey there ladies! Bracing ourselves here for Winter Storm Jonas Friday night. Snowed most of the day here yesterday and it was beautiful. We had a nice relaxing day, fireplace going last night and my son and I watched The Chronicles of Narnia and he loved it. The cookie baking was fun and delicious! But now I have about 2…
