Well, I stepped lightly on the scale this morning and I definately didn’t like what I saw. I weigh 142 lbs and yes for this 5′0″ body, I am overweight. Just short and fat. That was an eye opener! So according to this website I should weigh between 97-127 lbs. My starting goal is 115 lbs. I need to loose 27 lbs.
Well I will have my journal in one hand, jug of water in the other and go about my busy day. I will check back here later to see how everyone is doing.
My stats: Current weight: 142 Goal: 115 P2G: 27

Oh that is a mean site. I was skinny in high school in the weight they want for me. Blech.
Oh well, let’s not let it get us down. We can all do this together!

I hate those forced weight requirements… what about how you feel in the clothes you wear? That should be the right weight for you: whatever weight that ends up being! Just to feel good about yourself and be healthy is a good goal.

D–I hate them too! I just didn’t know where to start so I picked a number in between. I may change it though, as I progress.

I am 5′4 and was a size 6 when I got married and weighed 130 pounds.
Just do what feels and looks right!
They should do weight requirements for women who have had kids….Don’t cha think?

You can do it COABM! Don’t be discouraged by the numbers.
