[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]125 is pretty small for 5-4, depending on your body type, and might be a pipe dream for you post-baby and as you get older.  It's natural to gain a little weight as you age. Your body might be trying to tell you something. [/quote]

I don't agree with this.  5 lbs for every inch over 5' is a very reasonable middle of the road weight for most women.  Try mixing up your workouts, speed work, some longer runs, weights, etc.  Unfortanately you may be more about diet as well.[/quote]

And I disagree.  I think this is a reasonable guideline for young women or women with small frames, not really for most older or postpartum women. We don't know how old OP is or what her pre-pregnancy weight was, but in my view if she's in her mid-30s and has an average frame, 125 is on the small side of "ideal" and may just be extremely difficult to attain without a very strict diet. I think we both agree she could get down to 125 with diet, but it's awfully hard if your body's ideal healthy weight is 5-10 lbs more and your body is fighting you.[/quote]
