You know what? I lost a lot, but lately I've been noticing my pants being tighter...stepped on the scale and realized I had gained!! All the cute clothes I bought last summer just don't look right.


I am in the low range for my BMI, but have a really small frame to excess shows up. I wouldn't even mind if I didn't LOSE any weight, but managed to get more toned/have less flab.


Must be the chocolate and cheese binges. I used to be very good at watching what I ate, but lately have been on the 'anything goes' diet. UGGG!


Height: 5'9.5


Weight: 138lbs


Goal Weight: 120-125 lbs

Right ok, so im doing a weight goal to gain weight.

height: 5'2

weight: 77lbs

goal weight: ?? does any one know the ideal weight for my height please?

[crimgoddess]

Roofus- you should probably ask your doctor, as he/she can give you a good idea of what you should be aiming for based on your frame and other factors.


I would probably say between 100 and 120 lbs would be ideal. Perhaps right now you should aim for 100 (because even though that seems very low, it is still a significant increase than what you are now), and see how you feel and what the doctors say.


It scared me how little you weigh right now... you are such a sweet person- would hate for something to happen!

[kellybean]

Roofus, according to Weight Watchers, the ideal weight for your height, is 125-131lbs.


I'm afraid to weigh myself [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img], I don't want to know how much I've gained since I stopped Weight Watchers in January. BUT, I am really proud to say the I've been at the gym everyday since April 3, with the exception of 5 days. I do a half hour on the Elliptical, and a half hour jogging. I WILL keep this up, and keep track with you guys.


Good luck everyone!!

[crimgoddess]

This may be of help to some: Your frame really does have a lot to do with it. I know people wholook thinner thanI am, yet weight more because they have a larger frame.

height: 5'3''


weight: 156


goal weight: 130


if cheese didn't exist i don't thinkthat goal weightwould be a problem for me!

[x hannah x]

Cool sounds good!


Height: 5.5"


Weight: 135 pounds


Goal weight: 120 pounds


I don't want to lose alotbut I'm just a bit chunkier than I'd like to be, especially as I'm going to Florida in August and I want to wear shorts etc.

[tiffanator]

Ok, I'll play!


Height: 5'-6"


Weight: 157


Goal weight: 150


I KNOW! it's only 7 pounds but I'm quite muscular (benchpress over 100lbs) and my body will not weight less than 150 without mass starvation. The only time I've weighed 150 was when I was working out 2.5 hours a day, 5 days a week and eating nothing.. ugh.


Ok, off to rehab my bum ankle...

[Babydoll]

yay! having everyone do this together makes it so much more fun!

Height: 5'0"

Goal weight: 90


Did the March of Dimes today...6 miles. ^^;; Not much exercise for me though. Too much schoolwork..Edited by: wing

[blondie90]

i was talking to my friend who is on a diet every single day of her life, and she said her cousins nutritionist told her that you need to "trick your metabolism" in order to lose weight and keep it off. for instance, she ate healthy from monday to friday; no fried foods, no sweets, little carbs, and then over the weekend she ate what she wanted (in moderation, no bingeing) but not depriving herself if there was something that she really wanted. this way, her body didn't get so used to eating healthy so every week was like the first week of a diet for her. she lost 40 pounds relatively quickly. does this make sense to anyone? this is definitely something i could handle but i want opinions before i do it! my mom seems to think it sounds logical, but any other opinions will help too!

[crimgoddess]

WOW Wing....you are already underweight. Are you sure you want to pursue this? Maybe you should speak to your doctor, because you really shouldn't lose more weight. However, if you did exercise you could probably build muscle/get more toned, which can change the shape of your body without losing weight (it may even make you gain weight, but you will look slimmer).


*amber*

[crimgoddess]

Blondie- in a program called "Body for Life" you have one day a week where you can eat whatever you want, no exceptions. My best friend did lose a lot of weight on this program (to the point where he had to put on weight because he started to look kinda like a cancer patient), but in order for it to work you really do have to exercise.


You can try programs like this, but the main equation to losing weight is still to burn more calories than you take in. No matter what the gimmick, you still have to adhere to that format. A program like the one your cousin mentioned would work, because if someone is eating healthy for the rest of the week, overall they will still be eating less calories than they had previously.


When I lost 80 lbs, I did have days where I wanted a chocolate bar or piece of pie, and I ate them. But I would stop at 1 chocolate bar or small piece of cake, and make sure that I kept up with my exercise. To lose weight you dont have to deprive yourself, but you do have to show some restraint.


*amber*

[Babydoll]

I just wanted to say that I lost 3 lbs this week!

[Babydoll]

wing.. i agree, You shouldn't go down to 90... thats too low.


one thing I've always heard is that in order to meet a HUGE goal, like say you want to loose 50 lbs, you should have a small goal set each week, so that when you meet that small goal, it gives you reinorcement to meet the next small goal, and in the end, creates better success than one huge goal that seems forever.


as well, you should eat something you really like once in awhile, or you'll get so deprived that binging is likely. Like tonight, I ate a chocolate bar after a hard emotional weekend, and a long week of walking.


you can trick your mind as well. You can still have things you like to a certain degree - have your tea with skim or low fat milk, satisfy your sweet craving with some fruit, etc.


good luck everyone!Edited by: Babydoll

[shiva]

Okay.. I'm in.
I am 5'4" and weigh 168lbs.
My goal is 140 lbs. by October. (Actually, I even love my body at 150, so that would suffice, but I figure I should challenge myself a little more.

[xroofusx]

Damn i've lost more weight[img]smileys/smilies_29.gif[/img], the idea is to go up, not down for me. grrr

[shiva]

Roofus,
How are the eating habits coming along? Maybe try keeping a food diary to make sure you are eating at least a little bit, regularly.

[sneezymonkey]

OK.. i'll do this too: How dreadful..


Height: 5'-7"


Weight: 205 *it makes me wanna hide even more now*


Goal weight: ?? Anything less than what I am now [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]


*Wipes the tears from her eyes &amp; runs off*

[crimgoddess]

SNeezy- dont worry, if you work hard it will come off. I used to be 210, and at the beginning the weight came off pretty easily.


Don't get discouraged!


*amber*

[xroofusx]

Shiva - There doing ok thank you. I just need to add more hot foods insted of just sandwich's and stuff, because there not going to keep me going forever.

Ruth.


You can all do it! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img], even though your all lovely just the way you are!

[lyndsayanne]

ok here goes


height: 5 2"


weight: 170


i do actually go to the gym alot 4-5 times a week but the only time i have ever been slim was when i hada breakdown and stopped eating and drinking i went down to 7 stone sorry i am not very good at converting to pounds but that all came of in the space of about 3-4 weeks and went on really quickly when i did start eating properly again so my goal weight is about 9 stone so i have three to lose i think i really need to not eat chocolate i am a bit of an addict


lyndsayanne

[csjones]

I'll join in[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img].

I'm not even sure how much I weigh right now. We don't have a decent scale and I am too scared to get on one anyway.

I'm somewhere around 4'11'' and am probably about 200 lbs. I know, it's disgusting. I'm losing weight, though, and trying to become much more healthy.

[mjewell]

Isn't it amazing that the average woman is not a perfect 115 pounds as the media would have us believe? I am so glad to hear that so many women on this site are average realwomen.


I am my highest weight ever right now - 149 last I checked. I am somewhere between 5'4" and 5'5". The weight my body likes to settle at naturally is about 135-138. At 130-135 I'm lookin' smokin' but right now I just want to get back below 140.


Unfortunately my anxiety has been acting up again lately so I have been pretty bad about exercising, and my hubby and i have been moving for two weeks, so i haven't had much time anyway. The bright side is that because of the stress, my appetite has decreased significantly, so hopefully that will help me. My pants feel a bit looser already.

[tink]

This is a great idea! I have gained 25lbs in the last year and would love to drop the weight..

5'6

148lbs

ideal weight- 125!
