My son's friends father said "You are getting tiny! what are you doing??" I actually looked down at myself and then looked at him and was like "what do you mean, I am not getting shorter! there is no way I am getting shorter!" I KNOW I am smaller, but i more often then not feel like a chunky monkey. I am still in the…

I tend to eat smaller amts in the day and then have a larger dinner. It is easier to do that for me, as when I make dinner it is for the whole family, so I need to make sure there is a variety that will be consumed. I tend to do less then 200 for breakfast, around 400 or less for lunch, a small snack in the afternoon then…

I have always been overweight. When DH met me in early college, I was around 170. By the time our first kid came I had been at 225 for the longest time. I am also 5'2. A couple of years ago, after we were done having kids, I decided to lose weight and lost 40 lbs and stabalized in the 160's and was pretty happy. Now all…

Your dominate side tends to be bigger. It is normal and 99% of people "suffer" from this.

Its not the chocolate cravings that kill me...its the EAT ALL THE FOOOOOD!!! cravings that kill me.

had to giggle at the eating dirty...in my head the word was drug out...diiiirrrtyyy :smiley:

Only reason I cut bread is because I would rather use the calories elsewhere. I just make a meat and cheese rollup or dip my brat in mustard. Only time i don't cut the bread is for pizza cause...pizza! But if I can trim it out, then I do.

Are you eating at home or at work? I am a SAHM and i personally like to have a turkey cheddar brat, no bun and a puddle of mustard, some chips or pretzals and some fruit for lunch. I usually end up with around 350 calories for lunch. Or another fav is take 2.5oz of ham, slap a cheese stick in the middle and some mustard…

I wanna say early high school was the last time i weighed what I weigh today (but I did not weigh myself much then). This was over 20 years ago.

Yeah, its just water retention. Typically that happens after heavy drinking. So long as you keep it within maintenance calories, it will dissapear.

when I first started, i did not really have a goal in mind, but figured 135 would be good. At 5"2 that is on the higher end of the bmi. After more research and finding I have a large frame (6.5 inch wrists), I know that even though its on the high side, for me that will probably be fine. However, I got down to below…

I buy the next size down of my every day jeans and periodically try them on to see how the fit is. i don't really wear them out and about until I like the way they fit (no muffin tops please).

I rarely log excersise unless its one i know that did significant burn. I am not overly active some days so I figure it evens out. My workouts are just 30 mins walking with some weight training thrown in. Some days I go over on calories and some days I am a little under. I still tend to lose 1 to 1.5 lbs a week, which is…

5'1.5 weight 157ish bust 36 waist 30.5 hip 42.5 thigh 25 (i think) I have not been working out lately, but that is gonna change now that the kids have started back to school. I figure at the progression of my stats when i get to 135 (my goal) it will be bust 35 waist 27 hips 39.5

I like to shop the consignment store we have in town and goodwill. I do however like to have pants that fit well, so I tend to do a "next goal" pants and a couple pair of jeans that fit now (bought on sale with coupons new), cause I am short and most used clothes are regular length not short. I also do alot of clearance…

weight 155, waist 30, hips 43 WHR is .7 at 5'2 at least my whr says i am healthy :)

5'2 and 154lbs natural waist is just under 30 and at bellybutton is about 33

Thats what my husband started calling lady parts when we had our daughter. I still catch myself telling my daughter to make sure to scrub her front butt and back butt when she takes a bath.

My youngest is 4 almost 5. I started back Oct '13 and lost 40lbs over 6 months...then lost the drive and bounced 160 to 168 for the last year and in april of this year started back up and am down another 10 lbs, with about 19 more to go. I know its genetics and body composition that you get what you get. It just takes time…

Lost another inch in my thigh butt area and half an inch on my hips. I really need to buy a new pair of mini goal jeans that are a size down in my everyday jeans cause my last goal size fit perfect right out of the wash and are almost too loose on day 2 of wear. I am excited that I am in single digits now for jeans, fully…

I am 5'2 and at my top weight around 225. 3 kids and 3 csections gave me a definate mothers apron (before I did not actually have much of one). Now its there but MUCH smaller and just over my csection scar. You can not even tell when I have undies on. I don't think I will ever get back to prekids look, but i do think it…

I just switched over last night to 1lb a week from 1.5lb a week. It had Just put me under 1200 calories and for the last month I was struggleing to keep my calories down. Now its up to 1400 and I feel like I have some breathing room now. It is normal for the caloric goals to shift as you go along. I can remember when I…

People that see you every day won't notice as quickly since its a gradual change, but people that see you every once in a while will notice more quickly. Its usually around 20 lbs that people notice.

so you get some transitional clothes..no biggie. Hit some consignment stores, goodwill and clearance racks to get enough to get you thru till you are done. I do vote for getting one pair of steller looking jeans or pants the fit right.

5'2 here and am around 160 and wear an 8 or 10. My waist to hip is a 12 inch difference, so when it fits in the waist, its pretty tight in the hips and butt area. I am comfortable with this though. I have a 30 inch waist and 42 inch hips. Sadly I do not have a 42 inch bust :(

I'll second the weekly not daily. I like to save up my calories for the weekend when I tend to be outside my week routine with the kids and man home. Then if I splurge with them on the weekend and go over for the day, my weekly still comes out good.

Heh...I have seen those super dark colors the day after heavy drinking. I drink a crappot of diet dew during the day then after 5 i have 4 or 5 glasses of water (48 to 60 oz).

When i started a few years ago, I had the goal of 135 put in, but mentally I was all...160 would be awesome...after losing 40some lbs and getting to 160, i stopped losing and was pleased. After 2 years bouncing around in the 160's, I have decided that its not enough and am back on track for hitting 135. When I get there…

It takes me 3 or 4 days to get it off. Then i'll hit what I was before the drinking and the next day i'll be lower and on track.

I went from a 9 to a 8, sometimes a 8.5 with 45lbs lost (and down from a wide width to a normal). Its possible with a large weight loss to drop a size or so in shoes.
