Any ladies out there 5'6" tall looking to lose?

alpaughmom

Hello I just joined MFP a little under a month ago, so far I've lost 7 lbs here.Before joining MFP I lost a little under 30 lbs on my own just exercising and watching my calorie intake my starting weight was around 180lbs. I'm looking to still lose 20-30lbs and was wondering if there are any ladies out there with same height as me (5' 6 1/2") around my weight now 145lbs or goal weight 125-130lbs? I'd love to see pics of what I may look like when I get there. Also talk with others with the same goals. I forgot to mention my figure is similiar to a pear.

I'm the same height but still higher up in weight. I've sorta hit a plateau that I'm trying hard to break. it's frustrating! LOL. My goal is between 125-135lbs. I'm not petite and I have an hourglass figure (big on top and big on bottom). I don't wanna look crazy thin so I'll stop when I get to that comfortable place for me.

first off... congrats!
i'm in your shoes now.
i'm a total yo-yo-er.
i dropped 30lbs on my own a few yrs back too.
but then going from being really active to a sedentary desk job PLUS a bad choice with birth control = i yo-yo-ed STRAIGHT back up again PLUS a few pounds
(not good)
so... here i am.
185 (size 10/12 pants & L shirt)
& my goal is 145-150
i'm back to being hyperactive again, but the trouble with training hard means yes-- i get HUNGRY!
but it's a balance, eh?

i wonder if i got down to 125-130 if i'd be a size 6!

would be nice to find out.....!

good luck!!

I'm 5'5 and lingering at 130lbs right now. I started off at 144lbs and it took me seven months to lose it.. I probably could have been a bit more efficient if I had been more dedicated, but it's all a learning process!

I want to lose 5 more pounds.. to get to 125lbs, but we will see what happens when I get there because originally 130 was my goal weight but I'm not completely satisfied!

Wow you sound exactly like me! I am 5' 6 1/2" and definitely a pear shape. I am shooting for 130. I am currently 154. 6 years ago I lost 45 lbs. My lowest weight this past fall was 145, now that winter is here I really over did it for the holidays so I am getting back on track and going for 130 this time around. Keep doing what you are doing, it sounds like you are doing a great job!
