New 5'3", 125 pounds; 110 goal; advice from others like me who have met their goal?

Hi, I'm new to C-C. I just became a lifetime member on weight watchers, and I needed a free online calorie counter. Anyway, i stumbled on this website and now i'm hooked.

I was wondering if anyone that is around my height and has reached a goal of 110 or lower can tell me how they did it? Exercise? Calories per day? Cheat days? Low carb or low fat?

I also look forward to starting a summer challenge with anyone interested. I work out 6 days/week and eat pretty healthy. My biggest problem is staying accountable, by counting calories/points.

hi, i know this is super late but....just wondering if you accomplished your goal of 110? i am in the same boat as you were, 5'3", 125 pounds.  my long term goal is 110, once i've reached my first goal of 124 (so close!)

anyway, just curious to see how you did.  hope it worked out for you!!  (:

im 5'3 and my goal weight is 110-115 lbs..around there, i'll be happy. i started at 138 lbs...that was my absoulte heaviest. I'm now down to 126 lbs. I was a size 8 jeans and i'm now a 6. a little dissapointing in my end because i'd like to be a 2...but hey i feel like im doing great.

I exercised 5 days a week for about 45 minutes per work out (30 minutes of cardio then 15-30 minutes of the lifting machiens at the gym) I ate about 1200 calories per day. Never ate out, with the exception of resturants that had a healthy menu (i.e. subway).Gave myself realistic goals...like if i loose X amount of weight in X amount if time i get to do this..... (like go out to your favorite resturant and eat whatever). im doing a diet with my mom and we both said at our HALF WAY point we get to go out favorite resutranct and order whatever. Downside: i had to losoe more than she did, so its taking me longer to get to my half way (2 lbs to go!) but she has to wait till i get there. So like if you allow yourself things that you like you wont "fall out" on the diet. It keeps you going and gives you something to look forward too. I wanted to fall out SOOO bad my first couple weeks but once i started getting into the 120 categorie, words cant even describe how i felt. When i saw i was 129 i was like FREAKING out because i was finally int he 120's....that was ALL i wanted. I set my goal to be at ANY number in the 120's by december first, and iw as 129 the last few days of November. So its been a couple weeks and im now 126. So i'm attempting to make it my goal again to be the teens by january....we'll see how it goes ;-)

But yeah, i want to get to 115 lbs and we'll see where it goes from there. Possibly 110 depending how i feel i look when im at 115 lbs. I havent been there since middle school so i dont know how 115 lbs will look on me.

best of luck!!

hi jay, well it seems we are in the same situation!  i'm 5'2, 125 and trying to get down to 117 or so by the end of january.  maybe we can help keep each other on track.....share our weigh-ins, etc.  how often do you weigh?  i weigh every morning and was elated to be down to 125.5 today after being stuck in the 126 range!!!
