newbie before pics, 5'3" 154 lbs - bikini beware :(

:seeya: I think you look terrific and healthy at your current weight! However, being the same height and nearly the same weight as you, I totally understand wanting to be slightly smaller.

I have found the guys' comments TOTALLY ENCOURAGING!!! Yay for guys with common sense, who like a gal who looks healthy with some meat on her bones! Let's hear it for women with curves! I know my DH sure likes mine :blush5:

Best wishes on your journey,
ABBA
 
I am your height. I gained a lot of weight very quickly, and I am super depressed. At my best I was 123, then in a 2 month period I went up to 135, got back down to 129 and over the winter I have gone back up to 140!!! (actually the dr scale says 147) anyway I have been eating under 1200 calories a day and working out 4-5 days a week. I dont leave untill I have done 4-5 miles on the elliptical (buring about 500 calories) and light weight training. I am not losing a thing! It is so depressing, anyone have suggestions? The only reason I dont excersize 7 nights a week is because I work a second job waitressing, so I would say I am active.

What is going on with me??? I did just turn 30 but I refuse to believe its just my body going through changes.

(PS I think you look great!)
 
well what kind of calories are you eating? if it's a bunch of carbs then that's why!...BTW this needs not to be discussed in someone elses thread, it's not fair to the poster
 
Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 5'3 and 148 lbs. I just can't get motovated like you though. I have gained like 25 lbs in the last year and a 1/2. Good luck to you and I would really like you (and me!) succeed!
 
Wow, you look amazing in that bikini! It's about what YOU feel comfortable with. Listen to the guys too, they know what they like! You carry your weight pretty evenly and your tummy is darn near being flat! I am jealous....lol! I am also lighter, but do not look like that in a bikini. Be glad that you can rock that swimsuit without a roadmap of stretch marks on your belly! Good luck sculpting the body that you desire, remember it's for you and you deserve it! :seeya:
 
YOU HAVE SUCH A CUTE BODY ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO BE EVEN MORE SMOKIN' HOT ONCE YOU GET TO YOUR GOAL!! and we are the same height!! YAY!! GOOD LUCK HUN!!!
 
thank you so much, guys! really, your comments are so encouraging and motivating! I literally feel stronger as I read all the positive and thoughtful things you all have written to me .. It makes me wish that everyone in the world could be so kind and supportive!

about a month and a half ago, I lost my very best friend to a genetic, chronic, and terminal illness .. one of the things that we all remember about him was that he LOVED food .. we were both foodies and always tried every new restaurant in the city, no matter the cost .. he truly lived his life to the fullest and enjoyed everything life had to offer .. he ate like a king and traveled like a jetsetter .. after his death, i took the lessons he taught me to the extreme .. i ate everything i wanted .. every other night i tried a new restaurant ... not only did i gain back all the weight i lost and them some (i was at a happy 145 around that time), the fancy restaurants have burned a hole in my pocket!

after reading your comments, I feel motivated again .. thank YOU so much for helping me .. seeing you all rooting for me makes me want to make you all proud .. thank you for pulling me out of this crisis.
