3verdanadarkslategray I am sitting here after working out in my sweat suit, purchased from a big chain store. It is black and made of plastic.All I want is to feel like I am made of plastic, but not really? I want to be healthy and happy.I try all sorts of diets ,pills ,injections, etc. When I started this , over 5 years ago I weighed a chunky 170 lbs... Took about three months and slaving over the exercise bike and may I mention the sweat suit. I went down to one hundred fourty lbs. I am not gonna lie, ephedra? helped . I didn't abuse it and I didn't take it all the time, but it helped.Well my journey went like this...I had gotten pregnant with my third child, went to the gym all the time was having a great pregnancy.I stopped going to the gym in my eighth month. I had a hard labor. Then my child was here.I weighed the same as before the pregnancy. I worked out at the gym, until I had to move to another city. I didn't get a gym membership here in this new city, because I didn't know any thing about this place and I was wanting the same kind of gym as before. Now I sit here inquiring in a forum on weight lose , health ,etc. My husband, sweet as he is , for Christmas gave me a tred mill. I love it, it works my butt to the core, I feel it. I now , no lie, weigh one hundred fifty lbs. I hate it ! My freind ,who has had plastic surgery, weighs the same as me, But looks different. I thought we would wear the same size and today she informed me that I was just a little chunkier ,I wasn't offened, just woken up to a harsh reality that I am "FAT" . I would love it if someone could be a support effort, that had experience, and would give me advise. I am all open ears. I am 5'3 ,150 . I should weigh about one thiry or one twenty?
 
Hi & welcome to the forum. At 150 lbs, I do not think you are that badly off. Am sure you will be able to shed 20 lbs in no time - once you get into a good exercise schedule.
 
Thanks for the reply

Hey , you have no idea how thankful I am that you replied! I had read what you wrote for someone else,it was about soda and the problems with it. I dont drink that stuff! Anyways the link that you left me was wonderful, I had checked it out yesterday on someone elses blog.Well hope the day goes well for you! Will keep you in mind when I need advice. :)
 
We're about the same size - I'm slightly taller and got to be a bit over 150. Yes, chunky is the word for how I "filled out".

I'm making slow progress myself, but progress nonetheless.

What activities are you engaging in besides the treadmill?

You might check with your health insurance to see if they subsidize any health club cost, and maybe start checking them out. If you need the supportive atmosphere, go find the facility that fits you. I never joined a club until I found the right one, but January is a great time to be able to check them out free!!!

Good luck - you can do this!
 
welcome aboard. i'd sayeat complex carbs and protien 3-4nights exercise bike for 30-40 mins and a little weight training wont hurt, forget all the placebo stuff, stick to a healthy approach and it will happen just be consistant about it and you'll be fine. You will have your off days it worked for me and i'tll work for you!
 
Thank you so much for the info... On someone elses post I found a calculator web site. I was hoping that one of you know about this site! I did my body fat percentage(cause I know what it is). I was really hopefully that it would come back with great news, no you are fine with the weight you are, you are beautiful at 5'3 150 lbs and being 27 ,my I add what lovely smile you have! Instead I recieved a reply from the measurments saying that if I wanted to be 15 percent body fat I would have to weigh 129 lbs. And also what is an ideal goal , body fat percentage? My brother is 17 and is 15% body fat , kinda figured that he was lean and that I would go off him. What is the ideal body fat percentage for someone my age? Sorry second time asking... Can't help to say it again. I love this place ,already feel welcome.Thanks again all of you!
 
About the body fat percentage...

Essential Fat= 10-12%

Athletes= 14-20%

Fitness= 21-24%

Acceptable= 25-31%

Obese= 32% plus


Well ,you guys sorry for the constant posting here- in the new members catergory. I need to start posting in the relevant category . I hope to see all of you there... By the way does this sound right for body fat percentage ?
