Snip 13
Master Chef
\I'm 5'0 and my bf's 9 yr old niece is taller than me lol. I have a couple pairs of her hand me down shoes (she has some feet problems so they have to buy her really nice supportive shoes. Most comfortable ones I own!). I would like to weigh around 105-110, but I stick around 115-120. This time I'm really going to get down to 105 and try to stay there. I've been right around 1200-1300 calories every day for the last 4 days. After the holidays I was up to 122, and now I'm down to 119. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't post in the weight loss threads, because sometimes when I talk about counting calories, people who need to lose large amounts of weight get offended because I don't need to lose any weight to be considered healthy. The reason I pay so much attention to it, is because I love food, and I gain weight if I just eat whatever I want. I am very impressed with the people who are able to lose 20, 30, 50lb and more, and I never want to have to be in that situation. So it's a constant part of my life, maintaining my weight, and counting calories. So anyway, I don't want to make anyone feel bad, just because I am in my healthy weight range. I'm more comfortable with myself when I'm at the lower end (I could go all the way down to 95 and still be considered healthy, although I would be too skinny for my own taste at that weight).
You're more than welcome to post in my thread I only wanted to lose 3 kgs and I've done that this week. Now I just need to maintain my weight.
My biggest reason for trying to eat better is for my health, not weight loss.
It is hard to lose a small amount of weight if you're not really overweight. People are not as supportive and try and feed you all the time. Makes it really hard if you love food!
