Im not 5'2 but I am 5'3 and my goal weight is 140. I carry my weight pretty evenly so at 140 most ppl think Im smaller than I am (or they used to when I was that size). The last time I got down to 168 people thought I was too skinny which I think was mostly because I had been heavier for so long by that point. My goal may…

Ha! I would've quickly came back and said "I like it just fine and apparently so does your boyfriend." then I would've walked away smdh. That's weird that they would even be talking about you especially since you don't know them. Keep doing what you're doing!

I like these mantra's. I have a lot of different things I tell myself but I have to give Yoda credit for these wise words "Do or Do Not There Is No Try." =) I have it engraved on the back of my iPod and like to look at it when I want to stop running and whatever exercise Im doing.

Nice job ladies! Im not 5'4 but Im 5'3 so this is defiintely inspirational for me. My goal is 140 and the lowest I've made it down was 167.2 then I shot back up to 242.2 (pushing 250 some days). Im about ___ that close to being under 200 again and I can't wait!

Wow! You look amazing! You're at my goal weight too. Congrats on your weight loss thus far.

You are definitely better than me. SMDH I wish my temper wasn't so bad...working on it just like Im working on working out.

I like both but I prefer Wendy's salad. I usually get the Apple Pecan Salad and I only use one packet of salad dressing instead of two. If I order a McDonald's salad I get my chicken grilled to cut down on cals and grease. I like the BLT from McDonalds and Wendys.

OMG! These rock! Just made some using my last bit of Nutella. I feel like I had a cheat day.

Are you doing any type of strength training or just cardio? Personally I'd rather lose inches over pounds because one of the main reasons Im losing weight is to fit back into old clothes LOL (along with getting my health better) but its a lot of vanity reasons lol.

How's your diet? (Not diet plan but the foods you are eating) and are you exercising?

I haven't tried it but I just purchased it last night and Im waiting for it in the mail. It looked fun and challenging (which I love) so we shall see. Waiting on opinions and feedback too.

Use a heart rate monitor.

Yes. Eat what you can. Don't eat because the calorie counter tells you to eat. If it says 1500 you can plan that way but if you exercise youre going to most always be in the negative as far as calories left. I tried eating all my calories because the counter said I had them left and I should eat but I was eating when I…

The last time I lost weight I didnt feel it until I was 50 lbs down. Im down 23 pounds so far and I dont feel it at all. My pants are fitting much better though. Thats how I can tell Im losing weight by the way my pants are fitting, which is more important than the number on the scale.

That looks good and tasty. Thx for sharing!

Nice. I'll be starting the C25K on Sunday.

If your diet is good I would suggest switching up your workout. Instead of walking 3 miles, try to run or job 3 miles (if possible). Your burn more calories and save time when working out. The more weight you lose, the harder it will for you to drop as much weight as you did when you started. You lost 56 lbs! Congrats to…

You two look great!

You look great! Congrats on your weight loss! You've been working hard.

That must be a nice feeling! Congrats on your weight loss!

Yeah, I use my HRM. I have one from Timex that was fairly inexpensive. It also helps me from going over my MAX HR and overextending myself so I won't have to quit my workout.

You are amazing! Definitely inspiring!

Im probably the wrong person to answer bc I LOVE chocolate and try to squeeze in dark chocolates at least once a week or two weeks BUT if I was giving chocolate up I would try low fat yogurt or chocolate pudding. BUT then again instead of giving it up, just try to have more self control and not eat 3 pieces a day. Not that…

What they said. Sodium tracking, which you don't want a lot of in your diet if youre trying to lose weight.

If you have internet please go to www.exercisetv.tv! Free workouts everyday and they add new ones monthly. That website makes it inexcusable to EVER miss a workout. I really like Kendell Hogan too. He will whip you into shape and the Sardone walk away the pound vids is easy cardio. Good luck!

Oh My Gosh! Im not sure if I would've kept my cool in that situation. Where did he get his degree from, suggesting one meal a day and losing 2 pounds a month? =/ I don't have my doctorates but you don't need one to know thats not right. SMDH. I am so sorry that happened to you. He needs to work on his bedside manner.

Im still looking for the right scale but I've been eyeballing stuff and I measure my liquids/powders with my measuring cups. I think I overestimate everything else and as long as I have half of my plate with green stuff Im good.

I think sodium is the reason my weight flunctuates so much from day to day. I went overboard Tuesday and woke up Weds feeling very heavy. I just ate my last frozen meal for the week so this is perfect timing! Thx for sharing!

Im 5'3 and my goal is 140 which is at the very top of the spectrum for my height to have a healthy BMI (and to get my doctor off my back lol). The last time I loss weight I was comfortable at 175 (and went to my lowest in years 168) and with my body proportions everybody thought I looked smaller anyway. I want to try to…

Wow! Congrats on your 20 lbs! It looks like you lost more than that.
