[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently at around 108-110 and it feels great, but it's not sustainable. I work out four days/week for 50-60 minutes and walk six or seven days/week twice/day to get 9-10,000 steps. If I drop back to one walk/day, I'll go up to around 115 unless I cut food intake which I am unlikely to do. Most of my adult life I've been closer to 125.

OP here. Thanks so much for these responses! It sounds like there are a range of healthy and attractive weights at this particular height.

One of my barriers is that I sit in an office five days a week and only fit in a 25-30 minute run three days a week, often when it’s dark outside. Peloton never helped me, just made me hungrier.

For the folks hovering around 110-115, do you work from home or are you a SAHM?

It seems like you really need a lot of time to maintain a weight like 110-115. [/quote]

I do WAH, which I think helps with being able to get up and move around during the day. I go on walks a couple times per week on my lunch break and do a spin or kickboxing class here and there. But I think the real factor is genetics (I take after my mom’s side of the family who are all just naturally high metabolism people) and while I love food and eat whatever I want, I don’t eat large portions. I have always just filled up quickly and can go long periods forgetting to eat because I’m not hungry. I don’t force myself to eat a meal just because it’s meal time.

So a lot of days I may only have 1 real meal. Just had labs done for my annual and everything was 100% in a healthy range, BP and HR are good/low, etc. I think because of how convenient food is we as a society have overestimated the amount of calories needed to live. At 5’2” I don’t need anywhere near 2k calories per day that a larger person needs.[/quote]
