I was at a small birthday party and all the ladies were generous, generous plus sized (that's the nicest way I can put it). they all wagon-trained around me and told me to stop working out so much and dieting because I was sooo skinny (which I am not at 26% body fat). All the while I kept thinking- you guys are all soooo…

I also am 5'2" but I wouldnt go by weight at all. I wear a size 4 pants now. I've never worn a size 4- ever. (I went from children's to a size 7 in my early teens). My goal used to be 125 and a size 8. My current weight is 138 and a size 4. I would like to lose some more fat by replacing with muscle. I weight train 4x…

why only BLACK women. that's offensive. Groups that are color based irritate the crap outta me.

I'm 5'2" and 139 and I only want to lose 10 pounds of fat. Muscle is very important to me. I currently wear a 4 pant and 2 dress. I'm thinking 125 will be the lowest I want to be so I can keep my muscles :)

I am a proud 45 yr. 5'2" tall mom of 3 girls with an adorable grandson. I weigh 140 and wear a size 6 pant (a few size 4 pants but mostly 6) and a size 4 dress\top. I lift heavy heavy 3 days a week and for 2 cardio days I lift heavy and fast ;) The last time I wore a size 6 was in my 20's and I weighed 118. I was…

Burpees with a tuck jump or a Turkish Get Up. Works everything. Try one of those for 15 minutes. You will be WORKED!

5'2". 5-6 days a week- HIIT boot camp and progressive weight lifting. 144 pounds; size 4-6; 2000-2400 cals per day for about 10 months now. I will go down to 140 in certain times of the month but hover at 143-144 at the most. I am 44, have three daughters, married, work full time.

5'2" and the smallest I've ever been in more than 30 years (i'm a 45 yr old pre menopausal grandma and mother of three)! Size 2-4 dress and 4-6 pants. BUT I weighed 144 this morning. Yes, I lift heavy heavy things! PR hex dead lift @ 5x175 I could stand to lose 15 pounds of body fat though....

saw an online article yesterday, maybe on msn?, that they have a recall for causing skin rash and burning..... please google it.

no such thing as 'big boned'. My husband processes tissues and bones for transplant. Under all the fat is the same sized skeleton (proportionately speaking)..... I thought I was 'big boned' too because that's what my mom always told me. I finally lost the weight and it turns out I just had too much fat. Took 44 years for…

have you ever had your body fat measured hydrostatically? I'm 5'2" 140 with 27% and my calories needed to simply be awake and lay in bed all day is 1550. High intensity work out days and I am around 2000 (because I want to reduce my bf I'm eating deficit). Heavy lifting days and I'm at 2500! All good, clean food but in a…

Awesome!

I am in week 4 of a 6 week progressive lifting program. add me as a friend. I'll post my before and after pics and stats when we are done. I can already tell the difference. I just caught sight of the muscle in my thigh that I haven't seen since the 80's! Monday's dead lift was 165- which is HUGE for me since since it's…

AWESOME!!! I've always wanted to open one of those cans! lolll! made my DAY!

I have heard that if you have some fat to lose (as most of us do hence why we are here) and lifting weights without losing fat, then your muscles will get bigger under the fat. I think some people (has be be mostly men) lift weights to get a bigger appearance and some lift to get leaner. There is a science behind each one,…

I always start with the local grocery store ads. I make a plan ahead of time. I figure out our weekly meals based on what is on sale that week. I make my list and head out. I go to the meat section of the sale ad first and see what is on sale, is the least expensive per pound, yet a healthy choice. I then look at the fresh…

some really great points to be reminded of when raising young ladies.... but I'm not in a perfect world..... and I am not the perfect mother and I dont have the perfect daughters......I always promote my daughters but when they are failing, then that needs to be pointed out too.....by me and in a way coming from love but…

Research Intermittent Fasting- it might be the way for you....

I remember that milestone too! Now, I have the 'normal' in sight but it's been a slow process! Great Job! Keep it up!

Eating breakfast has always been a challenge for me because, for the most part, I just don't feel like it. Then when oatmeal hit the trend circuit I tried that in the mornings- I would be so famished within an hour or two!! I just started Intermittent Fasting (IF) four weeks ago. I only eat between 12:00-8:00pm. I start…

Butter Bread! One of my child time treats and I would put sugar on it!! -- so bad

me toooo!!! lotsa chili powder!! :explode:

NO! I tried it and it just didnt work. no, no, no, no. I would explain things as simply as possible and the person could never wrap their head around it! I had to realize that some folks are operating at their maximum ability and the frustration from 'dumbing things down' about drove me CRAZY! :noway:

I am on day 5 of 16:8. It's not as difficult as I thought it would be. It really is just 'mind over matter'. Also, I have discovered the difference in feeling 'bored hungry' and 'hungry'. I plan to stick to it for a full 6 weeks and then decide if this will be a lifestyle change or if I need to modify for my personal…

I am so 'into' this thread! Thanks for posting! I just was browsing through the Macy's website and now I can spot the 'floating' heads ALL OVER THE PLACE!! I can finally see what I previously viewed as an 'off' looking picture- the heads don't seem the right size for the bodies! I would think this advanced computer…

my husband and I went out with a group of friends and I dont think I logged all of the cocktails I actually drank :drinker: the kicker is we went to mel's diner and had a ton of crap to eat: eggs, pancakes, fried potatoes, corned beef hash, juice and coffee... I didnt log any of it because it happened after midnight!…
