5’8 and 120? That is disgusting

Dp here. Wtf? That is not helpful. Pp is trying to get to a healthier weight and you have no right to insult her.

125 when I married. 25 years later, back to 125, but I gained 50 lbs with each pregnancy, and taking it off took forever, even though I've always worked out like crazy. Now that I'm post-menopausal, I really watch what I eat and work out 6 days a week.

You wrote the story of my life! I gave up on all hopes to get back to 110. Ideally would love to be 115, but my body seems to be stuck at 120-122.

Anonymous wrote:I am 47 and 5’4”. I was 120 and a size 4-6 when I married 25 years ago. I’m now 160 pounds. I’m in early menopause and it’s hell trying to stay in shape. I tried phenpro and it was miserable so I won’t go back . I tried a transformation diet and it was so restrictive it made me binge on everything I couldn’t have once I got down to 145. I’m now at 160 and a size 10. I don’t know what to try next. My goal would be to get to an 8 and be at 145, but I basically have to,give up EVERYTHING to get there. I hate thinking about my weight every, single, freaking day.

Why, just why? Why phenpro? You are not 300lbs, you are 160 lbs. Yes, overweight, but why aren't you happy? My grandma was overweight in hips and whatnot, nobody ever said a word and we loved, loved her. Nobody likes a skinny grandma. I am your age, and not 160, but still, I feel that you should not be beating yourself up. No man does, they say, I earned it and I ate it and they don't obsess. Look at Leonardo diCaprio, do think he cares he looks like a pudgy German? No, nor is he shamed in Hollywood. Please don't give up everything. Why do we allow society to cause us so much pain?

I am approaching 50, married at 105lbs or less. Yes, we were all skinny in late 80s and early 90s. I was early 20s then. I weight the same until 5 years ago when I got Lyme disease. Now I am 15 lbs heavier and unhappy. 5'4".

If he’s.l not dumped first! Good riddance annoying men, your porn and womanizing addictions etc! I’ve got my kids, house, job, and lots of money!! Laughing all the way to the bank as they say! That plus cookies and I am happy for life! Buh bye!

+1. I weigh more. Am also more muscular, and life happened. God bless us women for keeping everything together for everyone, including at work! I don’t have time to be obsessed with my weight.

I was about 135-140 then, I'm 125 right now.

Probably 5-7 lbs heavier. I expect to be within a couple lbs by Jan. 20th. But will then go up a few and down a few and so on.

Before getting married I was probably another 5lbs thinner but was in dangerous territory for my body (stress fractures etc.) and was so regimented that I am one of the few people that found kids freeing (I had to stop obsessing over exercise and food so much)

I was a good weight at my wedding but still working out a ton and until my kids are older that's just not going to happen but I can certainly stay close without too much work so that's my goal.

I was at a lifetime low of 110 when DH and I met. 120 When we married in 2011 and about that now. But in those 7 years I've been everywhere from 155 (pregnancy high) to 115 (post-pregnancy BF'ing low). Even now in my 40s, my body seems to love 120. I'm happiest at a muscular 115. DH weighs less than when we got married, but he's a weightlifter so he's always trying to get back to a higher weight.

No way! I had twins, and have had a full time job for many years and 15 years later- 15 pounds of squish and hips have been acquired. I wish I was my taut, golden, and non grey haired young self again! Age happens- if we are lucky!

Yes. Married 15 years. Have 2 kids. But it has taken a very serious effort and regular routine in order to maintain it. Since I’m now over 40 I have noticed a big change in metabolism. So if I wasn’t trying hard and eating healthy most of the time I would definitely weigh more.
