I have been 114lbs and 144lbs and worn the very same clothes... At 114lbs, I was asked on numerous occasions if I was okay or if I was sick... At 144lbs, I was given many compliments... I am currently 137lbs and 21.3% body fat and I have learned the scale does NOT matter. If you can wear the same size 4 jeans at 114lbs and…

Hey!!! :). Are we twins!?!? :smile:

Age - 37 Height - 5'4" HW - Whatever it was after having my girls... Highest maintained weight is about 145. LW - 114 CW - 138.2 BF - 21.3% GW - Not sure... We'll see what 18% BF looks like and decide from there.

WHOOHOO!!!! :happy:

I'm 5'4" and have a small frame too... When I got down to 114 lbs (still with small areas of fat that I didn't like), people started asking me if I was sick... Admittedly, I really didn't look good. I changed my focus to body recomp... The scale is obviously a worthless tool when you want to reshape your body. You can…

If I'm hungry, I workout to earn some more calories. What will usually happen is that my workout will kill my appetite for a bit and then I can eat something reasonable when it returns (usually cottage cheese and a fruit).

So INCREDIBLE!!!!

^^^^ This!!!

Have you thought about taking a break for a couple of weeks and eating at maintenance? Whenever I have been dieting hard for an extended period of time, eventually my body fights back and my hunger really intensifies. It doesn't seem to calm down until I have eaten at maintenance for one to two weeks and then I can drop…

Almost twins... :flowerforyou: Age: 37 Height: 5'4" CW: 137.8lbs GW: 125 or less

FWIW, when I was eating low carb.... I used to have MAJOR anxiety attacks... Afraid to fall asleep at night because you might die type of anxiety attacks... :frown: After ditching low carb... I have been anxiety attack free. :smile:

BEAUTIFUL eyes!!!

EXACTLY!!! It's great to be able to make minor adjustments and get positive results vs letting things get out of control and needing to do major work to correct the current path.

^^^ THIS! I started doing this a few weeks ago and it has been working out really well for me... My favorite thing about this approach is that I no longer get upset if the scale bounces up from water retention or whatever.... I just watch my trend line and know that my weight isn't really up. I think this method will be…

My reasons have always been for shallow ones... Just wanting to look and feel my best... and I'm 37 so I don't think it is necessarily the age. ;). The only time I've ever been out of a healthy weight range was after giving birth to my two girls... I don't think wanting to look and feel your best is a bad motivator.

Me! Me! Me! :happy:
