Girls Only! Around 5' 5, Needing to Lose 30-70 lbs. We motivate each other!!!

ArtsyLinZi

Hi! I'm 5'5, I weigh 175.4 lbs, and I have no clue what'd I'd look like thin. I've been fat for so long I'd like to know what it's like to look in the mirror and like what I see. I'm here for anyone that wants/needs motivation and I hope you motivate me too!

pravenel

About the same as you only i weigh 170. Hope to lose 30 lbs. it is a slow consistent path to success.

ArtsyLinZi

Yea it's hard when all the stuff you like to eat the most is what you shouldn't eat..

Hey! 5'3. Started off at 178. Current weight 161. Hoping to reach 140. You guys feel free to add me!

ArtsyLinZi

The sad part is that I have a knack for making sweets. I've made cheesecake a couple of times and they were soooo good.

ArtsyLinZi

One more thing.... I have no clue how to add anyone! Xc

ArtsyLinZi

lilcole08

I'm 5'1 and 191 lbs. I've never been this weight before and it disgusts me. I'm having a hard time losing weight since having my last child. Feel free to add me! I need motivation to keep going.

ArtsyLinZi

Yay! Lets do this, Ladies!!!

ArtsyLinZi

Alright first lets start with how long we've been like this and what we want to do once we're thin.

I have been overweight ever since I was little. It's been a long time since I've even been under 150 lbs. I want to know what it'd look and feel like to be thin and healthy.

Hi. I'm 5'5 around 230. Trying to get serious about making a lifestyle change and losing 30-70lb by the end of the year (I think that's realistic). Joined MyFitnessPal to keep track of what I'm eating and for support. Feel free to add me as a friend

How about starting off making a "Lightened" version of your favorite desserts? That way you can still eat what you love in moderation and not feel deprived

ArtsyLinZi

Ooohhh I gotta start looking at replacements for the not so healthy parts of cheesecake hahaha

Thx Dr

I am 5'5" and about 205 right now. I am happiest at 160. I know that sounds heavy for some but I have a very muscular build, my father calls me his little pit bull lol. I have an almost 4 year old and my son will turn 2 in December. After my first pregnancy I lost all of the 55 lbs of pregnancy weight and got back in shape in 5 months. After the second pregnancy I did the same but it seemd like I had to work 10 times as hard to get there. Once my husband came home from deployment I got lax on my workouts and wasnt on my strict 1200 a day calorie diet but I dont feel like I ate bad food or ate too much. Within the last year I have gained 45 lbs back and I am so unhappy. I am always tired, emotional, uninterested in sex, easily agitated...just not myself. I had my hormones tested and am apparently very low on estrogen. Has anyone experienced a hormone imbalance after having children? If so, what did you do? I know I need motivation to lose this weight. Any helpful suggestions how to stay motivated?? Anyone have any experiences like me?

Starting out is the hardest! once you get used to it and start seeing results, its easier to be motivated. you can always add me if you want!

nicjbar73

what about making the cheesecake then slicing & freezing individually? that way u only take out 1 (hopefully).i love a frozen custard but i buy 1med on friday & eat on for 3days that way calories arent shot @ once & it takes the craving away;)

neaka3

5'4 ish 214 pounds and miserable. you ladies are already motivating add me i'm so in

nicjbar73

i started this path because for 42 my knees sounded horrible, was so embarrassed. within 3days went from popping 75 xday to 10. in 3weeks bs levels back within normal range by 4 1/2 weeks bp normal. the weightlose has been a bonus.1200-1400 day 1400 maintain. when i started could only do 1mile of walking.

ericaringalls

I am 5'1 and 199 lbs (I cringe just typing that), the heaviest I have ever been. My family & friends are all big eaters and drinkers so hard to lean on them for motivation. Just starting MyFitnessPal so would love to join the group to help with motivation.

I'm 5'5". Went from 185 in 2005 to 154 in 2009. Maintained for almost 2 years, and then developed hypothyroidism and ballooned to 202 in 6 months. Got on thyroid meds and started SLOWLY losing weight in 2012 once my meds were at the correct level, and am now between 144-147, depending on the day. Current goal weight is somewhere between 130-140, but I'm mostly concerned with my fitness level and biking/running speed vs the number on the scale....although by calculations, my "racing weight" for optimal triathlon performance should be between 120-125, and I *do* have the extra body fat to lose to get me there...so we'll see.

5'4" and 83 Kg. I need to lose about 60 pounds to be normal. Since I was 16, I've always fluctuated between 125 and 145, but last year I just kept gaining. I want to be fitter again so I can go running and have lots of energy.
