[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - So, I just recently lost about 30 lbs.  Am 5'5" and went from about 175lb at my very highest to - right now - 140 lbs.  I would like to lose another 5-10lbs, but I have a pretty muscular build so anything under 135 lb is pretty low for me.  For reference (b/c every person's body holds weight differently), I am a size 6.

I lost the weight all in about 5 months. I had gotten pretty fed up with myself (I've had 3 kids and was never able to lose the baby weight after my first).  But it required a lot of sacrifice.  I gave up all sugar and carbs (I now give myself some treats, but I was pretty strict about it for the first 4 months; now I'm strict about it 85% of the time).  I also started SERIOUSLY working out.  High intensity workouts for at least 45-60 minutes six times/week.

So, it worked but it was hard.  I had to make the decision that I'd rather be hungry than overweight.  I wasn't ready to make that decision for YEARS, but I decided I needed to do this for myself now b/c it was only going to get harder once I turn 40 (next year).

Anyways, good luck to you.  It can be done, but usually not without a decent amount of sacrifice. [/quote]
