I might add that they were OB doctors at that.

Beer does help increase let down according to my doctor. I've had two different doctors advise it. I don't think it's a myth.

I'm 5'2'' and my knees/thighs are the worst on me also. From my knees down I am able to really tone my calves and am okay with those but the knees up are thick no matter what size I am. They never seem to tighten and look toned. I'm not sure what exercises help people like us. At the gym I use a weight machine that allows…

I show up in makeup everyday at the gym around noon but its because that's my lunch hour off from work and I wear makeup to work. It's always gone by the time I leave though. I sit in a chair all day and its good to get that activity makeup or not. I see that this is an old post though so just ignore :)

I am 5'2'' exactly and am shooting for 130. My build is such that I start looking ill under 130. I too feel that the BMI calculator's are unrealistic in some body types/builds. I want to look athletic, not boney :)

Mirena is a synthetic progesterone. Progesterone is widely known as causing weight gain even at low doses. I took the Depo Provera shot for about a year and gained SO MUCH WEIGHT (like 5o lbs) even though I was going to the gym 3 days a week. Like you, I craved nothing good for me. I was able to lose weight within 6 months…

I'm 5'2'' and currently at 140 Lbs. I am with you girl! I want to enjoy my life. I enjoy cooking and celebrating but with my short height it doesn't leave much wiggle room. I can't seem to budge from this weight either but I know where I have came from (as far as weight goes) so I will keep doing the best I can. That's all…

I am 5 pounds away from my goal weight and have been working for months! I heard the first comment about it today and it was great. I know how discouraging it can be but hang in there because as you said, you are doing it for you! And WE are impressed here at MFP! :) Heck my husband didn't even say anything till I brought…

I like Maurices or American Eagle. They carry petite. I'm 5'2'' and those seem to fit just right.

Check out Position Number 632670 at jobs.okstate.edu- required is GED/Highschool. Hiring range is $10.85-$18.15 hr. Jobs like this are on there all the time and you can even search for jobs near your city. I hope this helps :)

You really don't always. Search the job online and it tells you. The only reason I know is because I was interested in that at one point and a lot of the jobs do not require it.

You should check into working as a vet tech at a University. I work at Oklahoma State University and can tell you that they pay their techs well (more than you make now), plus it would be a State job with good leave benefits, Health Benefits, teachers retirement benefits, and oppurtunity to grow. While they do like the…

Bless your heart. I will be thinking of you and your family. Good luck!

I have to work out on my lunch hour during the week at work. I walk to the Gym, work out for about 30-40 minutes and then walk back. It's seriously the ONLY time I can work in with 3 boys...

:)

I'm 5'2 and shooting for 130. I'm headed to the Dr today for help to get out of this long stall.

edited because I hit enter twice =)

Mine has lasted for 4 1/2 weeks now. Boo! I am also going to the gym 4-5 hours a week, and recently added a spin class and pump and tone class while maintaining 1200-1300 calories per day. It's frustrating but hang in there!

Something I noticed is that you are smiling in your last pictures! :) Way to go!!

I'm 5'2'' and weigh 145 to 150 also. I don't so much feel TOO overweight other than I would like to tone up a lot. I'm not a small frame.

when i'm chubbier, Molly Ringwold...don't see it though..

On Campus at OSU in Stillwater...agree here as well.

I have been stuck in one for a couple of weeks now after losing 18 lbs. I have been reading over and over that you need to adjust your calories and your exercise routine. I have just started to adjust both as of yesterday and will let you know how it goes.

whoo hoo! Way to go :laugh:

The vinegar neutralizes the acid that causes the heartburn and is a good remedy but I could never get past the taste. Pickle juice is also a good remedy and doesn't taste as bad to me! :)

5' 2'' 147lbs Size 10 pants and medium tops

I'm 5'2'' and weigh 147. Would love to weigh 140 (or less) by the end of Sept.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there! Don't give up!

I can totally relate. Hang in there girl! You will be back where you were in time.

Thanks for posting this! I have been wondering what those two things meant too :)
