Ooops! Forgot to say that's going from 140lbs to 130-125lbs. :) I'm just a smidgen under 5'7".

Goal is now 15lbs. I've rapidly gained 5lbs in the past 3 weeks. Not sure how as I've been exercising for an hour a day, but looks like lots of hard work ahead for me...

Protein! Eggs, chicken, fish, lean beef...I also find it is helpful to eat real meals, not just healthy-ish energy bars or snacks throughout the day. Drinking adequate fluids is another. Sometimes I think I am hungry but I'm actually just thirsty...

5'6.5" SW: 135.8 GW:130 UGW:125

Thanks ladies! I'll aim for 1400ish this week, and hopefully the scale will move in the right direction. Social events are so hard...I think that is where I lose my deficit!

Hi, Age: 29 Height: 5'6.5 (that 1/2 inch is important!!) CW: 135 GW: 130 UGW: 125 I don't have a very big frame so I definitely feel and look better closer to 125-130. I run 3x/week, take a spin class 3x/week and try to walk where I can most days. Staying consistent with my food is my biggest challenge...

I'm in! Started being more diligent with my tracking today--noticed how a few extra 100 calories crept in! Might explain why the scale headed in the wrong direction... Name: Louise Age: 28 Height: 5'6" Start Weight (1st June): 136 Goal Weight (1st July): 132 Ultimate Goal Weight: 125 1st June morning weigh in: 136lbs 8th…

Dana, great work! Baking batter is a challenge for me too...I have given up baking for Lent to see if that helps break the habit. Hope the family is feeling better soon.

Hi ladies! Posted on here in the summer, still trying to lose the weight! Currently 132 trying to get to 125...why are the last 7 small pounds so hard? I lost 5lbs (127lb woohoo! ) due to a stressful move/break up this autumn then regained it all in a month! Lost it again in November/December thanks to a bout of pneumonia…

Thanks, have you had a similar experience yourself?

Dana, I know what you mean! :smile: Hang in there--one day we'll be at our goals! I had a doughnutty weekend so I think this week will involve a lot of running!

Hope you all had a great long weekend! And happy first day of school to all of you with little ones! Dana, I think we are in the same weight-loss boat. I'm stuck at the 130-132 plateau as well...Would love to know what has helped others push into the 120s...At least a plateau is not a gain!

Hi! Skipped the weigh-in today as yesterday was a great day socially, but not so much food- and exercise-wise! Yesterday I was 131lb and I imagine sodium (yummy Vietnamese food!) will have pushed me up a little higher...no point fretting about it...:) Thank you all for the feed back on calorie levels! Coady how is the…

Hi ladies! Weighed in at 60kg/132lb today...pretty good after a very social weekend! Goal is 125 (I'm a small framed 5'6") I notice my weight fluctuates between 130-132, sometimes sticking at 132 for a few days, then dropping back down (but never below 130!) Does this happen to any of you? I work in an office all day, but…

Stuck at 60kg (132 lbs)!! But better to maintain than gain! :smile: Congratulations on the losses ladies, you inspire me!

My 1st August goal is to eat more consistently at my goal of 1400. For the past week or so, I've been struggling to stay close to my goal--I keep getting derailed by social events at weekends and after work, pre-dinner starvation! I'm finding it really hard to stay away from sugar/white carbs. Any advice? My 2nd August…

Wow! Great work! Congratulations! Couple of questions for you, as I'm hoping to start a "Whole 30" myself. What were some of your staple meals? How did you tackle carb/sugar cravings throughout, and social situation involving food?How tall are you, btw? Anyway, amazing results! :smile:

You look amazing!! Slim and healthy, not "too skinny." Families can be strange beasts....as others have said, perhaps their mental perception of you has not caught up to the new reality of a healthy, fit you. Please don't take their comments to heart, and know that a whole host of us here think you look fabulous! And…

I measure in kgs, so I do count the number after the decimal point. Officially I weigh in once a week, first thing in the morning before food/water/exercise. Sometimes, out of curiosity, I weigh in on other days just to see how different workouts/foods/water intake affect me...I notice that the little number can fluctuate…

You are all doing fantastic! Let's keep this thread going ladies!! Good luck!

I am 27 and 5 ft 7. Starting weight was 140... Current weight 136 Goal weight 125 Goal date: yesterday! Weight loss is going really slow, which is frustrating. Using TDEE I get about 1500 a day. I run 3x week, lift weights (going heavier as I haven't seen many changes), use the elliptical 3x week and walk every day...

Hi there, Tried Lo estrin 20 for about 6 months. Gained 7lbs and water retention was horrible. I switched to an IUD (copper) and highly recommend it. No hormones messing with your mood/appetite/energy levels.I'm not nearly as weepy or irritable now. The insertion procedure was not nearly as bad as anticipated, but talk to…

Congratulations on your weight loss! You look amazing! And good for you for sticking with it, even when it was slow going! Am your height and build and working towards a similar goal (going from 138 to 125). Just wondering what your average daily calorie intake was while you were losing? What were your macros like? Thanks…
