5'5" 137lbs and my maintenance is 1650 with some sedentary days and some active days mixed in to my week. I do believe some people have better metabolisms than others. Mine just happens to suck. My boyfriend is 6'.05" and weighs 152lbs. To maintain he needs over 3200 calories a day.

It all depends on your body frame. My boyfriend is 6' and weighs 152 and is very lean. He is muscular but very thin. His BMI is within a healthy range and he's always been this way. He eats about 4000+ calories a day but doesn't gain. I'd think 140-150lbs would be a lean weight for someone 5'8". You'd look good instead of…

All 3 times I breastfed I held on to 15-20lbs of baby weight. I have no idea why. I was a great milk producer and the second I stopped breastfeeding the weight dropped off within a month. Could just be hormones.

It's fat. As you lose your fat gets squishy and can kind of hang. I hit the hanging fat at about 155lbs. (I'm 5'5") I felt like I looked worse than when I was 202! I've lost 12lbs since then and a lot of that fat, which was in the same trouble area as yours, has disappeared. I still have some saggy fat/skin on my belly…

I would actually recommend the opposite. My ex-husband had massive tattoos all over his body and when he lost 60lbs his tattoos just shrank, including the one on his bicep. Finish it up and it should look even as you lose.

I miss my boobs especially since I still have 20+lbs to lose. If I lose any more I will cry. As a teen I weighed between 150lbs and 170lbs and always had a 36C chest. After my first child I lost 40lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight and my boobs fell to a perky 34A. After my second child my boobs grew to a beautiful 34DDD at…

1000. I'm 5'5", 146lbs, and fairly sedentary. If I don't hit that 1000 calorie mark I will force myself to eat. I usually eat 1200-1300 but I am "allowed" 1490. I don't think I've hit that in over a month.

I don't have cheat meals. If I want pizza I have pizza I just make sure I stay within my calorie goal for the day. A calorie deficit will always result in weight loss. Just learn moderation. If you'd usually eat half a pizza just have 2 pieces and make sure to log it. If you want taco bell go online and find out the…

For now you need to make sure you have your supply under control before you restrict at all. Honestly, I would wait until your baby is 12 weeks (from your original due date so 17 weeks) before rushing into weight loss. Your baby is going to go through a lot of growth spurts in the coming weeks and with a premie it's…

I log everything exercise related, even cleaning. Does that mean I eat those calories back? Nope. I'm just curious. I don't eat any of my exercise calories because I don't trust MFPs calculator.

I have a medium frame. I always thought I was a large frame but after I lost some weight I realized I had fat around my wrist making it seem bigger than it was. 5'5" HW: 202 SW: 170 CW: 146 GW: 115-125 I'll see how I feel at 125 and decide if I want to lose more. I have wide hips but my chest and shoulders are so tiny.…

I had issues with it. I was unable to lose any of my pregnancy weight with out starving myself (1650 calories just to maintain and I was breastfeeding!) I didn't have it taken out because of that though, I had it removed because it gave me horrible cystic acne.

5'5.5" and my goal is between 115-125. I get so jealous of you ladies who can weigh 150+lbs and be a size 6. I weigh 147lbs and I teeter between a 10 and a 12. I started at 187lbs but didn't start MFP until I hit a plateau at 170lbs. This winter I am looking forward to strength training. At 147 my body fat % is still…

Wow! That is amazing weight loss in such a short time! You look great, keep up the good work :)

On the internet I have no issue sharing. Face to face I find it hard. I have no qualms telling my best friend or my grandmother. I hate telling my boyfriend. He's 6' tall and weighs 4lbs more than me. It's very discouraging sometimes. HW: 195lbs after giving birth. CW: 148lbs GW: 120-135 wherever I feel most comfortable.…

I started this journey in a size 16. I am currently wearing a size 10. I'd like to wear and 8 I think. I'm currently 5'5" and 149lbs.

I have a 10 year old, a 7 year old, and a 1 year old. It took me 10 months to lose all the baby weight I gained with my last child. It then took me another 6 weeks to lose the additional 10lbs I gained before getting pregnant. Now I am working on losing 30lbs to get where I want to be. My kids keep me busy but I am…

Eh. It's a light day. If you are a short woman who doesn't weigh much it probably isn't a huge deal for you to have a day like that here and there. If this weekend you're at a BBQ and you really want that extra rib you'll be golden since you were light today and it all evens out.

I bloated so bad with Implanon and had horrible acne. I've lost 15lbs since coming off it in July.

I think I am going to do this. It shocks my boyfriend though. He doesn't think I look even close to what I weigh so when he sees the number he gets a bit uneasy. He's still locked into the idea that women don't weigh over 120lbs. I asked him how much he thought I weighed and it was 30lbs less than I really am. I'm…

Are you breastfeeding or on a mini pill? My belly wouldn't budge until I switched off a progesterone only birth control. The second I got off it the bloating disappeared and I shrank 4 inches in a matter of a week. No joke.

2 weeks. Not sure why I dropped so fast. Could be water weight? I am expecting I'll easily lose the next 5-7lbs and then struggle for the final 10. My body really likes weighing 155-152lbs but it hates going below that.

For the person that mentioned Implanon, I'm on it and having it removed. On top of it causing me to hold on to water weight it also has given me insane acne. No thanks. This baby is out Wednesday and I am going back to Yaz. Some people have had issue with Yaz but I took it for years and I loved it. I didn't go back on it…
