Struggling with the last 5lbs so I hope this will help. current: 110 goal: 105 (not an unrealistic goal as I am only 5’0” with a small frame)

You can add me, too. Today is day 1 of getting my eating under control.

I'm 5'0" and my goal is 107. I've seen that the recommended weight for my height is 97-128lbs. I couldn't fathom weighing less than 100lbs. I think I'd look sickly. My longterm goal is 105, but I'd be content with 107. On my frame, every single pound makes a huge difference.

I prefer working out first thing in the morning. My motivation starts to wane as the day goes on.

I'd love to, but I don't have childcare for my littlest ones. I could use drop-in care at the child development center but I'm a cheapskate :)

I try to work out first thing in the morning after my oldest 3 have gotten on the school bus (I will either run on the elliptical, treadmill or put my youngest in the running stroller and run on the trail. I have until 11 before my son comes home from preschool. On days when we have things going on in the morning, I will…

If you're not a morning person, don't try to force it. Pick a time that YOU know that you'll be able to stick with. I like exercising first thing in the morning. My sister likes to exercise right before bed. That's when her kids are asleep and she finally has some "me" time. My husband runs during his lunch hour. Go with…

To me, part of it has to do with muscle tone. I'm at my "ideal" weight. I'm well within my normal range concerning BMI. BUT...I'm not toned. I'd like to have more muscle definition and less squishy parts. I hope that makes sense. My other definition of skinny fat is someone who is not overweight but also does not…

In short, no, I don't think being a military wife contributes to women being overweight. I think it is just one more excuse that women will use to justify their weight. Everyone can make excuses (I work too much; he works too much; I go to school; my husband is deployed; I stay at home with kids and don't have childcare;…

I'm originally from Maryland. Edited to add that I'm trying to lose a few pounds but mostly firm up the jiggly parts. I'm only 5'…

Jacksonville, NC. More specifically, MCAS New River. All this talk of Pensacola makes me jealous. We were stationed there 11 years ago and loved it.

What's your name? Christie Where do you live? North Carolina What are your food vices/ cheats? sweets What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? I got through periods of eating really well and then I fall off the wagon What's your favorite exercise? running What exercise would you like to try this…

I'm in Jacksonville, too!

Me! I'm a USMC wife. We are based out of Camp Lejeune, NC

SW - 120lbs Jan 2010 CW - 111.6lbs Jan 24, 2012 GW - 107.0lbs Edited to add that I'm 5' tall and small-boned. That's why my numbers are so low.

As a Ravens fan, I'm not all that happy with Brady or the Pats that much either. In fact, I'm not sure who I'd rather see lose more: the Giants or the Patriots. My wicked stepsister-inlaw is a Giants fan. I might just be boycotting the Super Bowl this year.

I'm 5'0, weigh 111 lbs and wear a size 2 short in American Eagle jeans

I'm new today, too!

To drink 8 glasses of water a day. (Monday: 2 down, 6 to go!)

No matter how bad you feel, there is always someone out there who feels worse and is still moving. One who wants to do somethin,g will find a way; one who doesn't will find an excuse. (Confucius)

Sometimes the ones we love aren't our biggest cheerleaders. Maybe he thinks you look perfectly fine just the way you are. That could explain why he isn't interested in your eating and exercise goals. If that's the case...awesome. He loves you for who you are and not what you look like. But that still doesn't solve the…

I will send you a request. I'm 5'0", 36 and struggling with the same 10lbs.
