I am 5'2. My goal is 145. I am very muscular and really want to maintain my muscle. I need this bulk of muscle for all the hard jobs I do. Plus, I love being strong as an ox. If I set my goal for the "healthy" weights that they say someone my height should be I would be to thin and not very strong. At my height they are…

I am so happy for you :) I love that feeling. It makes you want to work even more towards the goal you have in mind!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Very good! Congrats!

I am the 34 year old Mom of two boys. They are 16 and 9. I had my youngest and then just got lazy. Well, not lazy. Very busy 24/7, but not working on problem areas like my tummy. I let late night snacking take over! My 9 year old was 10lbs 9oz and 24 inches long. I am only 5'2". By the end of my pregnancy I was 62 inches…

Hey there. 34 year old Mom of two boys, 16 and 9. I am only a month new on MFP. But I am leaning on it more than I ever thought I would. I think it helps me stay accountable with food and activities. I honestly thought I did not need any "friends" on here, but I snagged a few and enjoy the interactions with them all. I…

I know that letter! LOL. I used to always drink diet soda only. I made the decision to split with that as well. For over 2 months I have had no soda of any type. Only coffee, water and milk :) Congrats on your break up with soda!

Since I am already getting my moor cycle given to me (that was my original goal idea!) Hubby and I just reset my goals and rewards together. I love to grow flowers in my garden, but he hates that I like to incklude annuals. He figure that if annuals do not come back everyyear that I am throwing or money away.SO he set up a…

Hi there! Add me if you would like. I am a 34 year old Mother of 2 boys. Just started on MFP. Lost a few lbs before joining but needed a way to keep myself honest and accountable!

It is seeing pics and stories like yours that make me want to get to work. You look great. That is a lot of hard work you put in! Keep up the great work and dont worry about a small struggle, you will move past this :)

Amazing work!!!!! You must feel amazing. You sure are one motivated man!

I like to check in with the scale and the measurments once a week. I do not want to wait any longer than that. What if I have an area where the results of my hard work are not working? I would want to know as soon as I could. In all honesty, youre right about the measurments being the true measure of your work. I have been…

You sure look great! The before and after pics look like you have lost more than 30lbs! I guess it is all n weight distrubution! Amazing!! Good luck on the last 20!

I have also found that after a healthy breakfast of fruits and yogurts that Iam almost over my sugar intake. I LOVE bananas! Thats where my down fall is. Not sure it is the correct thing to do, but I have just about decided to ignore the sugar. I hope that because I am getting it from fruits (mostly) that it is better…

So awesome to see all these short peeps! I am 5'2" and started off at 226 back in 2009. I became an out of control yo yo since then. Now, I am 180lbs or so and on my way down. I had been down to 160, but gained again after my Dad passed. My goal is around 145. I have a ton of muscle, so anything less than 143 would make me…

My Mom me going on WW. My points are 27 a day. I never go over my points, use the extra weekly ones or account for my excercise. It seems to be working well so far, but like others, I am finding most days that I am also under my goal calories on MFP. Hmmmm. I was not going to compare them, but decided to. Makes me wonder…

There are options for growing food when you have a small space and no land. Most cities have community gardens. Lots of people who garden in these gardens will barter with you as well. Another option would be supporting your local farmers. Go to the farms or farmers markets. As a small farm owner....I can tell you...I am…

If more people would learn to grow food the price would no longer be a point. I can spend .98cents-$2.75 for a pack of seeds and grow an entire Summers worth of food and STILL have enough to can and preserve for over the Winter.

Hey. 34 year old Mom of two crazy boys here. I would like to have some more friends for motivation on here as well. Feel free to add me.

My body has changed over the past 8 years or so.....or rather how it holds the chub vs. build muscle. Building muscle has always been easy for me. The chub is coming off at a decent pace...not to fast, not to slow. I just do not want man arms. Hubby cant understand that. Just toned, and a bit stronger. The chub takes a ton…

See, I am eating healthy and all. I just think I may need some extra protein. I just never want to look like the female version of the hulk, but white. I will go check that site out now. Thank you.

Words to live by! I love it! At 5'2" the best I have looked (since giving birth to elephant like children) and felt was at 152lbs. Sounds like a lot of weight for my height, but I am strong, and carry a lot of muscle. If I weighed what the "experts" and charts say I should at my height I would have NO MUSCLE and probably…
