5'3" Current weight - 140 Goal weight - 125 would be a size 6 at that weight (did it before). currently a 10/12. no kids, eating clean, organic and little sugar - as much as possible

I'm eating about the same as you, but I'm 5'3". Based off your height and last few vanity pounds, you probably need a few more calories is my guess. The stress of the workouts and too few calories might be causing you to hold on to those. Here's a great calculator (be sure to click the Expert and advanced buttons to…

book: Sugar Impact Diet by JJ Virgin. I'm listening to it on Audible and it basically follows this idea (minus too much fruit from the high glycemic index list). I've already lost 3 pounds. Also, problem with Truvia is it contains additional "natural flavors" crap which means they can put anything they want in there and…

i just got my first invisalign trays today. i'm going to have the same struggle as you. i get hungry every 2-3 hours, but i definitely don't want to have to brush and floss that often. jillian michaels says it's best to eat every 3-4 hours (that's when you're blood sugar starts to dip). 3 large meals and a snack between…

woohoo!! i'm 5'3" and 133.4 today. making my way down to 125 :D. bought a new bikini yesterday and i'm excited for summer!
-
wow! you can see it way more than my loss. keep it up! you look great now even if you don't lose more!
-
good info :)
-
when you have a lot to lose, your body will utilize your fat stores. eating 1200 and not eating any calories back should work well for you. your metabolism shouldn't slow as long as you're working out. when you get down to only 20 or 30 pounds to lose, that's when you need to eat a minimum of your BMR. your body will…

i currently weigh 20 pounds more than my bf. working to get it down to just 5 pounds. he can't gain weight to save his life. he's 2 inches taller than me.

god it sounds so good. glad you found something you love. it looks like a great brand, i'm just bummed they don't list grass fed/antibiotic free/hormone free cows as the source. i use bluebonnet whey protein isolate and it's pretty good. maybe i can figure out a recipe to make it more like a cinnabun. vanilla and cinnamon…

jillian michaels usually suggests getting at least 30% of it in protein. especially if you're working out. protein and fiber help you process sugar more slowly so your insulin levels are more stable (or something like that, i'm not good at restating facts, but i listen to her shows everyday). here's a little thing she…

ELECTROMIX! Coconut water!! these two are my favorite no calorie/low calorie potassium boosts. you can find the electromix packets at wholefoods (they're by the same people who do the emergen-c packets) - no sugar, but pretty yummy. you can find coconut water just about anywhere. tastes awful to me, so i just chug it.

ugh reading all this is making me jealous. i'm 5'3", now 140 and still stuck in size 12. just pulled all my size 10 jeans out of storage, but need to lose more to fit in them. i store all my weight in my hips... really want to get down to a size 8 and maybe even a 6 after that. that would be amazing.
-
+1. i also take these (never upset my stomach) and i'm switching to the new chapter women's one. rainbow has the iron (and calcium), but iron can interfere with the absorption of other nutrients in the vitamin. so i'm going to try and get the iron and calcium in my diet separately either by food or supplement later in the…
-
wow you look so great! congrats on getting healthy :) thanks for sharing
-
they're pretty important if you're working out. i go with the food based ones so that they don't upset my stomach and for better absorption. i have used rainbow light women's one and i am now trying out new chapter's women's one, but this one has less calcium and iron, so i'm trying to get that in other ways. you can find…

i'm watching now! it's 8pm here and on nbc. haven't followed it in a few seasons, but i do like this show. very motivating!

i found out last night that my personal scale (tanita um-061) and my bf's parents' scale (super old norelco) that i've been using are both way off. they're both old so i figured it'd be good use of my xmas gift $ to buy a new one. i just purchased the "EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale w/ 400 lb. Capacity &…

i'm listening to the jillian michael's podcast right now and this episode talks ALL about this. it's the "jillian and dr. v" episode and it's towards the end of the podcast. download it free on itunes and listen. good luck to you!
-
i just discovered these too. jillian is pretty annoying imo, but i like hearing what she has to say and what the doctors call in and advise. love that it's free. i listened to a bunch at work today.

that's one healthy cat! my big kitty is 13 pounds...i'm about 5 pounds away from losing him! my boyfriend's cat is another story...like 20 pounds of cat haha. poor guy is so big. congrats!

i have the same issues, except i'm doing better these days and can workout fine. i'm not intolerant to all dairy, but definitely milk (garlic and mayo too which sucks). my doc said i have classic IBS symptoms and just to avoid the things that upset my stomach. the thing that really made it bad for me was stress. now i'm at…
-
you look FANTASTIC! love the pics. great job!
-
yay for this thread! i was wondering too :)
-
haha that's funny i eat the same too. i saw the cinnamon toast crunch today and was craving it, but i went with my oatmeal. i love steel cut oats, but they take a little longer, so i just do old fashioned oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, about 2-3 tsp of ground flax (which i ground up fresh each week) and a little bit of…
-
ditto. you do look so good! i hope i can get down to 125 someday. that's what i was in college. bravo!!
