I’m 5’0 and 117 lbs. My goal is to be under 110 lbs / have a flat a stomach for my wedding next March! 110 lbs is my lowest, and 130 lbs. has been my heaviest. It’s a struggle counting a calories and exercising at our size! This frustration is actually why I’m on the forum. But I’m trying to show some self-love and be…

"As I said before, after this overall experience on this forum, I am going back to 1200 calories with more strength/toning time at the gym." Thanks though, @cincysweetheart‌ & @brianpperkins! @brianpperkins‌, thanks again for all your tips! I can tell you've learned a lot since you lost 3 pounds :) Have a nice night! And…

Thanks, @WalkingAlong! That is the sort of thing I was looking to read :)

@brianpperkins‌ I know I'm at a healthy range for my height. But I'm not one for complacency. I've already achieved my goal weight(s) at this time and have a new physical challenge I've picked up. If you read my responses then you would know that, as well as that I'm not looking to lose weight necessarily, I'm looking to…

Got it, thanks for that! That was sort of thing I was asking for. Though you don't need to explain what you got or do. I don't think anyone here owes anyone an explanation if they don't feel like they do. Good luck losing that extra weight! I know I'm looking at an extra 2-3 inches, myself. Have a nice day and thanks again…

@Shadow2Soul, I actually posted those as a resource for other people to use for themselves...kind of like how I asked for people to send me a resource I could read about the 1200 calorie rule for myself :) What did you get? Since your so interested in my results, I will humor you. I obviously did not want to go up in my…

@brianpperkins‌, that's strange since I've been keeping my calorie count around 1200 for the past two years and have mostly maintained my current body. @Elise4270‌, thanks for a response without so much sass! I've only asked few questions on this forum, and some of the responses we're getting are why. I still haven't…

Thanks for all your responses! If anyone has any resources they find credible that I could read up on, please send me a link :) These are the calculators I used to choose 1100 as my ball park number, if anyone is interested: 1) http://www.healthycalculators.com/calories-intake-requirement.php 2)…

I started spotting today. I think you were right; it really was stress, @MrsMay1986. Thanks guys!

One more question: Is this affected by how much I stand? I recently changed from a desk job to an internship (I'm in college), and now I stand for about four to eight hours, walking periodically, but not walking quickly. Thanks for all your feed back?

No, I don't normally weigh my food. How does that work? I haven't heard of too many trying that. And yes, I measure myself with a tape measure and weigh myself with a medical scale. Although, I don't take the time to regularly measure myself with the tape and usually just jump on the scale for a second.

I usually do moderate cardio, like jogging or cycling. I strength train once a week, only because I feel like I can't do more within my time constraints.

Hi! Its probably been three months. I've been slowly losing weight for about a year and half, and I've lost 17 pounds so far.
