My mom lost her mother at 11 and found her dad murdered when she was 23. I feel like she deals with her hurt by making me her punching bag. It's been this way my whole life!!! I grew boobs in 4th grade and I had to wear a vest daily to hide my "deformity". She begged me to have a breast reduction since 7th grade. I finally…

I am 5'3" and weigh 144 lbs as of this morning. In September I weighed 145, but started lifting and my body changed. I want to weigh less for my height, but I do know muscle is smaller than fat and you can have much more muscle and even weigh more. Thanks for the help.

Anybody else before I disclose?!??

Here is my last workout pic

Guys, I am definitely not looking for "I'm pretty"... I just want to see how others see me then my mom. Yes, I'm 5'3" and actually have alway had a lot of muscle tone. I haven't been to the gym in two months due to work, kids, and plain out stress.
-
And again, I am not looking to make mysel feel better by any means. I just want to see how others perceive me other than my mom who has put me down for years.
-
I'm 5'3" and a Virgo lol... I typically wear a size 6 pants, and sometimes a 4. Medium shirts unless they button and sometimes large because I am busty.
-
Solieco, I just wanted honest opinions from others. My mom already hurt me, but I want to know how others perceive me. I don't look in the mirror and see some huge woman, but then sometimes we can't see ourselves truly. I'm not trying to make myself feel better, I just want to see if others see myself the way she does.
-
Haha TR FitPhilly - thanks, I've had a lot going on and I'm just so down. I just want some honest opinions. My mom has always wanted me to be a "Barbie". Gets old. I've lived through 33 years of her treating me that way.
-
I know how much I weigh... I just wanted unbiased opinions.

This was about 3 weeks ago in normal clothes.

Ha why not?

Thank you for the responses. LivingLean, I think you are right for sure. Low carb is not sustainable for long term. I drink about 140 oz of water a day and I still have my nutrient goals set to have 1,210 calories a day.

I don't know why I can't get my image to show up!

Thanks for the replies!

Thank you! I don't "feel" big...I just hate the number on the scale. When I weighed 113 I was very little and people always told me I was too little. You wouldn't think that at 113 and 5'2". I think a lot of it has to do with how muscular you are really. I know people who weigh 15 lbs less than me and sure don't look it.…
-
You don't look chubby at all to me! I've never been a very big person, but I have always been athletic too. I weighed 113 the summer after I got married and then stayed around 118-125 until I had my kids. I run at least 4 miles 4 times a week and eat a low cal diet (800 - 1200 calories). I've just been really down on…

What did you weigh before?

Anybody?

bump

Thanks! I have a body comp scale at work. Wasn't sure if it really knew what it was talking about though. Ha I was down 4 lbs this morning. Gotta keep on going!
-
I don't think it's unrealistic and I believe you can keep it off. My goal isn't much different than yours at all. I am 5'2" and 135 right now and I am wanting to lose these last 15 in 10 weeks ( yes, for my best friend's wedding, but I want to keep it off too). I've had a struggle since having my last baby 2 1/2 years ago…
-
Thanks for the responses!!!
-
I haven't eaten yet today... Only had coffee and water... Haven't had time until now and I want to punch myself! So, would my drinks for the day still be at fault for 6 more lbs?!? I took my measurements and they are still down...
-
If you go on a low carb diet like Atkins you can drop a good amount of weight in 5 weeks. A lot of it will be water weight, but in my opinion it is still weight. Do a workout like The 30 Day Shred or some type of HIIT workout as many days as possible. I really think you can lose anywhere between 15 and 20 lbs if you are…
-
Thanks. I'm definitely in a deficit. I would like to lose 20 more lbs, but if I just lose 10 I will be happy with it!
