[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late 40s mom here.  Went from about 158 to 144 over the past two months.  I stopped drinking except for when I eat out (rare) or socialize with others on weekends.  I also started running every day, no exceptions.  I have a treadmill and started with 2 miles and now am up for 4 every day.  Super happy with the weight loss, I’m still in the same clothes but they are fitting much better!  I’m 5’6.  [/quote]

Hi fellow 40s 5’6” mom! I’m down 34 since May. What’s your target goal? At the moment I’m aiming for 140, which is another 5lbs. But I’m not sure I’m going to be happy there because my weight is not in the same places it was before. So I may reset and aim for 130 after I see what 140 looks like. The 34 lbs only took me down 2 pants sizes, which was surprising until I realized the weight was still just settled around my waist. Last time I weighed 145 I was wearing 6 bottoms, this time it’s an 8.

I also run every day and have worked my way up to 5m a day. I’m working on pace again. I had gotten down to an average sub 11 minute mile, but I got a chest infection a few weeks ago and it’s been rough going. I’m stuck around 13 minutes now and the chest infection is still impacting my asthma so I can’t seem to budge it further. [/quote]

PP here.  I also run about a 13 minute mile!  Whatever works.  It isn’t a race.  I am happy where I am - but open to continue to loose weight.  I was 135 in my 20s and thought I looked great but never thought that weight would be attainable again.  I would love to see it on the scale again, but I am not going to severely restrict my food intake to get there.  I have cut down on snacking, but I still have a handful of skittles whenever I want.

I was a size 8, but still own size 6 stuff, and I find both fit now.  8 is a bit loose.  I look good in some size 6 clothes.  I’ve always had an hourglass shape, so the weight distribution seems similar to before.  I did have a c section and have a slight pooch above that scar but that isn’t going away![/quote]
