Thanks everyone.

I wear a garmin hrm. I measure out my food. So I think my calories are pretty exact.

My clothes seem to fit the same. I'm a teacher and go back to work next week...I'm a little scared to put my work clothes on to be honest. Short people 5 pounds is a lot. :angry:

I was at a stand still forever! I started training this summer and I'm up a solid 5 pounds now. I thought with all the running I would lose this summer and get to my goal weight. I realize (thanks to some great friends on here) I'm holding some water to repair the muscle. When the race is over I don't want to stop long…

I'm 5'1 goal is 120-125. How many calories are my 5'1 friends eating? I have been stuck for a while and looking for that "magic" number.....if there is one. LOL :grumble:

HELP PLEASE!!!! I'm 5'1 and 133 pounds and I'm pretty much stuck there. My Dr wants me to be 120. I have gone up on my calories and I have also gone down to 1300...just stuck. I have a back injury and can't workout at all right now. So I have no idea what to eat at to still lose. My BMR is 1342.....can anyone please help.…

Thanks....I have a back injury right now and I've been benched from any workouts. :sad: I can't seem to find the right magic number of calories for me....I'll keep playing with the numbers.

You are wonderful...thanks for the the answers!!! I slowed down back in Oct with my weightloss. I was losing at least 1 pound a week for months. I'm 5'1 and stuck @ 133. My goal weight is 120. I have tried 1500-1600 calories ....went back down to 1300 ish a day. I workout (heavy lifting, running, crosstrain ) 5 times a…
