The ideal weight range for 5'2" is 105-135 according to most sources. It will depend on your muscle mass, bone structure, build, etc.... You doctor could calculate an accurate BMI and give you the most accurate goal.

I'm 5'2". I was 247 pounds at my heaviest. I am 194.4 now. My final goal weight is 115 pounds... and toning toning toning.

Okay, Just saw somebody answer what TOM is... LOL... Because I'm bloated I weigh more on the scale for a few days, but I know that's what it is and don't let it bother me. Luckily it doesn't keep me from exercising or effect my appetite.

1. Holidays/Celebrations (alcohol, eating out, desserts, etc...) 2. Cravings for my food faves- Cheese, Bread, and Pasta.... (ie: Mexican and Italian baby!) 3. Anxiety... I'm an emotional eater... especially if I'm nervous or worried about something. What is this TOM everyone is posting? I guess that stands for something,…

I think this is a great idea! Ask for some "me" time. Get a workout video... any video! There is also Fit TV, Wii FItt, and other options like that. I also recommend walking! You don't have to do anything but walk and it works! Yes people see you, but its not the same as in a gym, which I totally get. I don't know what…

Thanks. Anybody know some easy fish recipes? or really just HOW to cook fish. I've never cooked fish myself and just recently started liking some varieties. I like Talapia. It would be a really great addition to my diet.

I have been told by doctors and "health experts" that all water you intake counts. You need about 8 glasses of water in addition to the water in your food etc... But, if you are adding an excess amount of water like in a protein shake... that is extra water!

I never really paid attention to the notes section. I think I might start using it. Remind myself what I was thinking or feeling when I ate what I did. Yeah, I think being a diary- its something for myself.

I agree... same experience

I had mine public for a while, I even posted daily results on my FB page. I got tired of my diet being picked apart by everyone. I know if I'm eating too much sodium or not enough calories, etc... MFP tells me!!! The advice or criticism even was ridiculous. I thought posting it would keep me in check, but was just…

I don't think I understand what you mean by 9 stone and 12.5... But, there is a chance that as you loose weight you will loose it in your chest. Have you always been big and/or had large breasts? I have always been large on top, but not too large, until I gained weight. When I do loose, its the first thing to go. Lost…

(Edit: re-read your post). You want to lose weight? At 5'7" you are already at the low end of your ideal weight range. Everyone's frame and muscle mass makes a difference, but I'd say if you lost anymore weight you'd be under-weight. Check out these calculators http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm or…

I agree with saving calories for the evening. Right after work and after dinner/before bed I crave snacks! I try to save calories for that time so I can snack. I also like the eating a later dinner idea, then you don't snack. But, you don't want to eat a meal too close to bed time! Third thing I'd say is, DO something. I…

I think your digestive system will get used to it. But, some veggies are gassier than others too. And, you don't want to eat too much fiber. Do a litter internet researching (or ask your doctor) and you should be able to find out a good amount of daily fiber for you. Asparagus and broccoli can be very gassy FYI. However,…

My husband and I both try to eat "most" of our exercise calories. I don't exercise nearly as much as he does. When he doesn't eat them, he stops losing weight. His calorie goal is much higher than 1200 because he's a bigger guy. He eats all the calories that MFP tells him and as many more as he can. He burns so many, it's…

Good Luck! Just never give up! 2 pounds a week can be frustrating sometimes, but it really is best in the long run!

I would wait and weigh yourself in the morning. Your weight will not be accurate tonight. You can be a day off on a weigh in. Or just change your weigh in day.
