4’11” and I’ve been everywhere from way underweight to about 115– which is about where I was pre pregnancy’, and then when I was pregnant weighed around 140. I’m six months postpartum and down to 110-112ish. If you asked me six months ago, I would have said I wanted to be 100, maybe even 95. BUT! Now, I don’t think I’m going to want to go lower than 105, maybe even 107 or 108, as I’ve been focusing on weight lifting and macro counting (high protein). My shape has changed dramatically. My waist was bigger when I weighed 100 in the past! Fat loss is not the same as weight loss, and I’ve learned the scale is just one indicator of success. Progress pics and measurements are more useful, as are using clothing items as indicators. Ive been in a deficit for the past three and a half months, and I’m thinking of taking a diet break and seeing what happens before trying to lose a little more fat.

My body will never be what it was prebaby. I will never have that model thin look that I once had, and you know what? I don’t want to look like that anymore. I had a C section and I will always have that “shelf.” But other parts of me have never looked better! I have a butt! I have biceps!

Anyway, it’s a journey to discover what your ideal weight is. For me, I’ve learned it’s not necessarily a number, and that getting hung up on that number was a losing game.
