We're 5 days out from Christmas - how did everybody do!?

You seem like the closest to my size according to your description - but in your profile picture you seem really slim! A lot slimmer than me... Maybe its that 2 inches you have on me? Height: 5'0'' Weight: 135lb BMI:26.4 SW:150+? CW: 135 GW: 125 - probably

Trial and error- increase calories for 5 days and see what your body says.

Haha. Totally been there. This past 6 days I started eating carbs, and it made my appetite through the roof! It seriously made me so unnecessarily hungry and I ate everything in sight for 4 days. My husband was shocked, ahha. It just goes to show that when you spike your insulin levels like that you don't actually stay…

Check out Fitness Blender's free programs. The workouts are the perfect combination of hard but doable.

Hey! I am 5'' and at my highest I was around 173 I think. I was in total denial. I am currently 133 and YOU CAN DO IT! Its hard, but you can ABSOLUTELY get to 150 in no time. Seriously, by the end of January you could be there! It might be later, it might be sooner. You have to do the work. Its calories in, calories out…

I like doing this, for myself more than anyone: HW: 175+?? CW: 138 20By2016 GW: 125.

Hello! My name is Sandra and I work for a non-profit in Haiti, where I live full time. Over the past 4 years my weight has yo-yo-ed. I am currently 138lb which may not sound like a lot, but for the 5' foot range is overweight. I do not desire to lose 20, but would like to lose 12 to 15lbs by January 2016! As I get closer…

Adding you both! I'm a shorty trying to get where you guys are. :)

you're smokin' hot! :) good job, lady.

That's really good right?... That sounds like a reasonable weight gain to me.

Hi! What workouts did you do?

What size dumbell would you recommend for a newbie?

I eat back some calories for exercise but not all. I don't have a HRM so I rely on online calcs and MFP, which I am afraid might vastly overestimate. However, if I know I am going to eat out later and will want to eat/drink some extra calories, I will put in some extra exercise. As someone said above about eating loads of…

Nikki. I wonder what if we (as sometimes this is my story too) were to implement self challenges. Like for me, starting to run myself up to a 5k, or for you, since that might be easy for you, something harder like a big mountain hike now that the weather is nicer.

Its not over! I have done this, thinking I have undone months of hard work. But the wright comes back off within a week if I behave myself. Lots of love your way. Let's keep going. :)

Way back in 2013 I started losing weight entirely by doing Insanity. Now I do Insanity videos or other workout videos 4 or 5 times a week. I'm obsessed. On those days I make sure I get enough calories to really put high intensity into the workout and kick some a**. If I don't want to do Insanity I will run. I also did…

Yes but not creepy ones. Haha!

So much good advice. It sounds to me like you're somebody who's very hard on themselves. I wish I could give you a BIG HUG. Sending lots of love your way and a friend request. I think that the baby step idea sounds good. And if you fall off the wagon with that one small task, DONT YOU DARE BEAT YOURSELF UP. Just give…

I know that as your weight lowers you'll need less calories. You made a decent weightloss already. If you change your goals in MFP it should lower your needed calories for you. Are you logging absolutely everything? Condiments, measuring tablespoons of coffee creamer, etc, etc. Yes you seem crazy but it works. If yes,…

Woah! You must be tiny (short)?! Am I right? Great work! You inspire me!

So excited for this month. Didn't make my goal last month but made progress I was happy with!

Name: sandra Age: 26 Height: 5 feet Start Weight (1st May): 140.8 Goal Weight (1st June): 135.8 1st May: 140.8 8th May: 15th May: 22nd May: 29th May: 1st June: Weight lost/gained this week: this past week I was so excited to get to the 140! (Okay, 140.8, but still) i think just lowering my calories that extra 100 really…

I had a gain but I think it's partially water weight from the weekend food choices and not working out.

exactly. lost it, gained it, lost it, gained it, and now losing it again.

That was helpful for me to hear too, good luck Brenda. Don't be hard on yourself. Give yourself some grace.

Check out Insanity videos. You can find the program online to order it, but some of the workouts are on Vimeo.

The sports bras, not so much for bigger girls. But the capris and everything else thumbs up.

Oh my gosh i remember that. Yes!

I am 5 ft. Lost 30 a few yrs ago then gained it all back. Now down 7. I dont have pics but 30 is a lot on a small frame. People asked me if I lost 50 haha.
