I also have this problem. I'm 5'2". Highest weight was 194, current weight 129. My cellulite is worse than it has ever been. It is so bad I do not want to wear shorts this summer!! It has only happened in the past 3 years. I quit smoking and noticed I was getting "fluffy" so I started cutting calories and walking/jogging 2…

Those are great results!

great results!! way to go!

I agree! Thank you and congratulations! and awesome phone cover :)

wonderful!!! way to go! Did you do 1400-1600 NET calories or is that total? I'm the same height and having trouble finding my magic number!

I have the same problem. I would like to hear ideas as well.

That's wonderful progress!! Good job!!

That's amazing progress!! How many calories are you netting? I am your same height, about the same weight. Not having any results!

thanks, fivethreeone! there's no way I would've thought I could lift that much but then again I just learned what a deadlift is. I normally work out with 10 pound dumbbells. I was afraid I would need one of those racks but wasn't sure. I read your blog but couldn't see the pics for some reason. Sounds like you had awesome…

I'm in for suggestions. I've seen the awesome results people on here have had with heavy lifting so I have been studying on it. I priced a barbell and 100 lbs worth of weights at walmart yesterday for $44. Seemed like a bargain but I'm not sure if it's all I would need? I'm really oblivious to weight lifting but have been…

Crazy how much the sizes differ for ladies that are about the same size! I am 5'2", 129 lbs, but I wear a 10!!!! Waist=29, Hips 38.5.

Thank you all! Great suggestions! I will try to cut out more of my beloved carbs to make room for more protein calories!

I guess my question is do you see less favorable results if you don't meet your protein goals? I can only eat so many eggs and chicken and my calories are gone!

I am also 5'2"; 37 and 129 pounds. I am currently losing on 1450 net, around 1950 gross. I do not use MFP's setting. I will starve to death or kill someone trying to eat 1200 a day. I used the Scooby site to figure my calorie goals (on sedentary so I can eat my exercise calories back) and with a 10% calorie reduction since…

I'm doing 30 day shred! I alternate the levels each day instead of level 1 for 10 days, 2 for another 10 so I don't get bored or too sore in the same spot (calves mainly). I've only dropped a pound but my clothes are fitting much better!!

ooooo, that was me last week!! For 2 days I walked around like an old lady. Luckily, I started on Thursday and I never do workout videos on the weekend so I had 2 days to recuperate. I got back on it Monday with no problems though.

For me, once I made it past the third day it was all downhill. I quit two years ago (before I found MFP). I used nicotine gum. I quit smoking several years ago and put on a good 50 pounds since I replaced cigarettes with food. This time, I used the gum and went for walks on my breaks instead of sitting and smoking. I…

I have one Hershey's kiss after my lunch. 22 calories. Satisfaction! And if lunch just didn't do it for me, a little trail mix with m&m's for my afternoon snack :) Chocolate is not something I am willing to give up! Especially when TOM arrives!

Thanks! I tried 1200 at first but was a cranky, tired, hongy heifer! I upped it to around 1600-1700 and wasn't losing or gaining. Now I'm trying to net 1300 to 1400. We'll see! Great job though!

Amazing job! You look wonderful. If you don't mind my asking, how many calories did you net to lose? I am 5'2" also and haven't quite figured it out!

I started at 11, quit at 21. Curved my cravings with food and gained 50 pounds. Started back 5 years later. Quit again at 34. I was tired of getting bronchitis! This time I used nicotine gum and exercise and have lost weight. I feel so much better now!

Congrats on kicking the habit. I quit nearly two years ago. I began taking a walk during my breaks when I used to sit in my car and smoke. I feel a million times better. I have actually lost a little weight since I quit. Gum helps me tremendously. It will get much easier! I quit once many years ago and replaced cigarettes…

Thank you all for your responses. I will try to work harder and eat less!! :D I am finding myself ravenous in the evening on 1500 calories though. I have plenty of muscle from my daily workout which includes push ups, etc. there's just a layer of flab/water on top of it. I know I need to cut out the pepsi. I used to drink…
