Those who are 5’0/5’1, what is your goal weight and what are you doing to get there?

[artiyadav]

@amamames I'm 5' and exactly your weight and trying to do the same thing at 42 years old. I hear you, lol

 

[amamames]

@artiyadav Right?! It’s the worst haha

 

[robertjjones]

@amamames Around your age. Do you have kids? What do you do for diet and exercise (calories)? I was always comfortable around 110, but counting calories is dangerous for me because of past behavior. I then got very sick which made me gain a lot of weight (hormone/thyroid/meds related) and I'm still trying to work that off. I'd like to know the maintenance of people my age so I can use that as a benchmark.

 

[amamames]

@robertjjones Yes I have kids but not biologically (they’re step children).

For diet, I eat a ton of plants, various protein. I do intermittent fasting. And of course, let loose once in a while.

Fasting really helps. And helps feel like you’re not stuck/trapped. I highly suggest “the laid back guide to intermittent fasting”

@stephny 5'1 CW 156lbs, GW 135/140. I'm just trying to move more, eat healthy, and ignore my ravenous appetite!

 

[jodi1028]

@stephny I’m 5’1. I GW: 140 ( I like my thighs and booty and I’m okay with having a little belly to keep them) CW: 160. I always looked the weight, it’s the maintaining for me I travel a lot for work, so I go to Orange Theory about 4xs a week and run 3 days a week outside of that! Currently not weight lifting (like serious weights), because it’s hard to have that kind of membership when I travel so much!

 

[only2memberfamily]

@jodi1028 Same stats and goals as me! I love being a little thicker! I'm also right around 160 right now and trying to drop those 15-20 lbs!

 

[jodi1028]

@only2memberfamily We got this, we can be accountability buddies

Edit: no judgment on this group at aallll, but it’s odd to find people who are comfortable being 130+.

 

[olegsko]

@stephny Something around 50kg. I was 47 kg at 18 years and when I moved away at 19 things got out of control for me. So 47 kg plus a couple of muscle kgs through strength training is my goal, I hope to get there in a year (I'm at 69 kg right now ).

 

[rachelcheyenne]

@olegsko A 47-48kg woman here aged 31 and 154cm. I mostly do a combination of cardio plus own body weight and box fitness or circuit training classes. It was never my goal to be much larger in volume because I am petite and don't carry weight above 52kg very well. I am still quite muscular for my size, but tight, as in, not super big yet still fit and mostly store those larger muscles in my lower body. I eat vegetarian and probably around 1700 calories a day with regular daily steps and about 3 gym sessions a week.

 

[vel]

@stephny i’m 42kg and i’m trying to at least get to 46kg, I’ve just been trying to eat bigger meals and more high calorie nutrient dense foods and lift weights

 

[mikeliznsam]

@vel And protein! Getting enough protein to gain muscle is the bane of my existence

 

[aubie2]

@vel I’m desperate to gain weight too.

 

[gatodeq]

@stephny 5’1.5”. Current weight 110, goal weight 105ish. I’ve got a pretty small frame and maintain pretty easily in this range on a WFPB diet.

 

[neversurrender]

@gatodeq I'm 5'0.5" CW 114, GW is 110!

I have been STRUGGLING to shed these 4 pounds.

 

[gatodeq]

@neversurrender I do find I gotta be pretty strict to move those last few pounds

 

[mikeliznsam]

@gatodeq What does wfpb mean?

 

[gatodeq]

@mikeliznsam Whole Foods Plant Based. I eat this way for my genetic high cholesterol. Weight management is an added bonus!

 

[mikeliznsam]

@gatodeq gotchya thank ya!

 

[deade]

@gatodeq What are your favorite protein-dense meals that are WFPB? I want to go plant based for the health benefits, but struggle to get enough calories & protein as is
