I am 5'2" and 112 pounds and have this horrible middle, I have a 27 inch waist and 32 inch hips!  I can wear a size 1/2 but only because of my tiny hips.  I would love to lose my belly but I'm not sure if anything will work other then a tummy tuck, I have 6 kids which hasn't helped at all. 

I have been in the 112-114 range since August and can't figure out how to get out of it! I started at 143 in March.

 Congratulations on your weight loss!  Your measurements are tiny!  How long has it been since your 6th child was born?  Maybe you just have extra skin...

Thanks, my youngest is 17 months old but the longest I've gone before getting pregnant again (in 10 years) is 18 months so I haven't quite passed that yet!  lol  We aren't having any more kids so I'd like to get my belly back as much as I possibly can.  I do have a lot of extra skin on my belly though.

I'm not sure what a good weight for 5'6" is but I started in March at 143 and am now 112 (I am 5'2").  You have to start somewhere, I remember trying to do a half hour of jazzercise and feeling like I was dying but now I recently ran my first half marathon last month and work out with Jillian Michaels (which is not easy! lol).  I kept the jazzercise up and did the Wii Fit and it got easier and easier.  Then I added different exercise dvds and eventually started running but everything I did I did at home.  I also cut my calories to 1500 per day.

So just start where you can with the exercise and be consistent!

I am 10 years older *sigh* but also 5'2" and 112-113 pounds and stuck!  I lost a pound last week by switching up my workout routine but it seems to have vanished already.  It's like my body is just super happy at this weight and doesn't want to budge no matter what.  I am 10 pounds heavier then I was in high school but can wear the same sizes.  However, I am positive I have lots more muscle then I did back then.

I've always known I was small boned - my fingers overlap on my wrist and it measures just under 6 inches.

I don't know but I'm having the same problem!  I ran a half on October 18th and average 8:30 per mile - I was on top of the world for days and feeling amazing but my running has suffered.  I should be able to do 6 mile runs easily but am finding myself walking after 4.  :(  I have cut back on my running and am doing more cross training before I start training for another half in January and hopefully it will get better!

A good 5K time is whatever time you finish in.     Honestly, I always try and just beat my previous time.  My first 5K was 28:01 and I crushed it 2 months later coming in at 22:55 but then 2 months after that was a minute slower at 23:55!! LOL  Once you find your best time you just work on improving it, no matter how impossible it seems.  hehe

Just keep at it and you'll be amazed at how much you can improve!

Holy Cow!!

I run 15-20 mpw, do The Biggest Loser Cardio Max and jazzercise dvd's and nothing kicked my butt like level 1 of this!  Wow, I am going to be SORE tomorrow!!

I think I'm going to watch level 2 to see what it's like!!

I think I'm going to try it tomorrow - they have the first 2 levels On Demand which I think is pretty cool.

I'm 5'2" and right now anywhere from 112-114 pounds.  I've lost 30 pounds by sticking to 1500 calories per day.  I got that from a calculator where I put in all my info and how much exercise I do so your calories seem ok to me......

Well, I wouldn't want to be skinny and unhappy!  lol  Honestly I'm skinny now and the most happy I've ever been - exercise does WONDERS for your mood I've found!

I ran my first half marathon on October 18th and finished in 1:51:24 - my goal was under 2 hours so I was thrilled!!!

I don't know if this is the same thing but I have a weak right side and it is specfically due to my hip.  I goggled some exercises to help strengthen my hip and am going to work on those.  I am a runner and it is really affecting things, my left side is having problems from overcompensating for my weak right side and my right hip and ankle are hurting.  :(

I got mine in September 2008 and LOVE it!  LOL  I don't think I gained anything but I didn't lose either.  I started dieting/exercising in March of this year and have lost over 30 pounds so it's not affecting my ability to lose weight at all.  However, I am a person who never had trouble with the pill either.

I am 20 and am starting tomorrow and am excited! I'm 5'2 and right now my goal is 108 lbs by thanksgiving (I think I'm somewhere around 113-115 now), and then maybe I'll go for 105 once I get there! I used to be 105 and that was the best I've ever looked!

kelly827, how many calories do you eat a day? I'm new and trying to figure out how much I should eat, I workout 5 days and run like 6-7 miles those days and lift 3 days a week.

I stick to 1500 per day, sometimes a little less and sometimes a little more but not over 1800.  If I put in a 12 mile run there's no way I can stay at 1500 that day!  lol

At first the weight came off quickly but now it's much slower - I was at 114.4 on August 26th and today am at 112.8 but I'm guessing that's because I don't really have much left to lose!
