SW: 180 CW: 144.6 Goal: 24% bodyfat I am 5'1" and eat about 1700-1800 kcal. I do stronglifts 3x week and some type of cardio for an hour 2x a week. I actually just broke through a plateau by eating at maintenance for a week or two then cutting again at 15%.

I am eating about 1600-1800 calories, but I have 10 lbs. to go so weight loss will be slow. Does not bother me to much as I measure success through pictures and measurements. Try searching for "In place of road map 2.0", this is where I got started when I wanted to tweak my intake.
-
Agreed. I am 5'1" and my goal weight is also 135, started at 180. Now that I see what weight lifting has done to my body, I am leaning more towards measuring body fat. Currently I am at about 29% aiming for 24-25%.

Shorty here at 5'1" and I have been lifting for about 4 months now. No bulk here! In fact I am losing inches and gaining strength.
-
Agreed with what some the ladies are saying. It took about 2-3 weeks before I saw any weight loss so have patience and keep at it. Also try taking measurements. I havent had any weight loss for almost a month now, but I am losing inches so Im happy with that.
-
This is my first MYAC so I will set my goal to 20 - 30 miles.
-
I know that when I lost my first 7-10 lbs. people noticed. I think with us having such a small frame weight loss/gain is pretty noticebale. Thank you for the congrats, the journey has been tough and it still is, but the rewards are so worth it!

I am 5'1 and my goal is at about 130-135, but a healthy weight for my size is under 130. Currently, I weigh 144 started at 180, the sizes I wear depend entirely on the brand, sometimes I am a 5/6 other times 7/8 in jeans (hate the sizing). Since I am close to my goal I am focusing more on composition than the scale.

I am 30 with two kids, still have about 20 lbs. to lose. It would be nce to have some buddies with similar goals. Add me if you like.

I'm near Fort Polk, but we are friends already. What part are you from?
-
Feel free to add me as well. I just joined the EM2WL community and need friends with some of the same goals. Currently I am eating 1700 cals, but I plan on increasing my intake along the intensity of my workouts.
-
I stay away from the fried foods on the menu and go baked with steamed veges if possible. Or I order what I want and put half in a to-go box. That way I don't feel like I have to stuff myself just because its on my plate.
-
I would like to join please. Still have 27 more pounds to lose.
-
I currently live in Louisiana. I live close to Fort Polk.

The same happened to me, but once I started looking at what I ate I realized I was not eating enough calories. I started eating smaller portions often throughout the day, more water less sodium and started losing weight again. Congrats on your weight loss by the way.
