For ladies whos SW is/was under 150lbs...

I'm 5'1" and am currently sitting at 127 lbs. Really should be at 110 or 115. A week ago I ate whatever I wanted and did not exercise AT ALL, so I am hoping that just by cleaning up my intake amounts and hitting the gym 4 or 5 times a week I can tone up before summer gets here. I sometimes feel a little out of place on this site since I don't have a massive amount to lose, so I was glad to find this thread and know that there are plenty of us out there!

When I started here I was 152 and now I'm 136 pounds and 5"4. I am looking to get to somewhere in between 122-128. I try to exercise 4-5 times a week. I hate pure cardio so I do circuit training most of the time. I ADORE everything that concerns Jillian Michaels. I use her 30 Day Shred, Yoga Meltdown, No More Troublezones, and 6 Week Six Pack videos and I can see a HUGE difference in my body! I have lost four inches on my hips and currently have a 24.8 inch waist. If you like variety I would recommended her stuff. For days that I want pure cardio I bike, or do Julianne Hough's Just Dance! or Cardio Ballroom workouts. Both are equally excellent and challenging.

I was around the same goals as you and i just made goal. You can do it!

Wow, I'm glad it's not just me.. I'm 5'3" and weighing in somewhere between 130 and 135 (not sure of exact number since I gave up the scale for Lent). I'd always been around 120, and suddenly I was up over 135.. I lost about 4 pounds when I first started here, but haven't been able to break that 130 mark since..

In August 2009, I started my journey @ 150 lbs (I'm 5'6" and was in my healthy weight range, if that matters.). I was pretty diligent with my tracking my calories and getting in at least four cardio sessions each week. By losing .5-1 pounds per week, I met my goal of 130 pounds around Christmas. At the beginning of the year, I start lifting weights and have gained a few pounds of muscle.

I've got a new goal to get down to 120, and maintain between 125-130. But honestly, if I could just cut down my body fat a couple percentages, I wouldn't care what the scale says. I think that once you are in a healthy weight range, it's better to focus on inches and body composition than weight. I'd rather be 150 pounds of muscle than 120 pounds of fat. KWIM?

That's me!!! I got down to 130 this past summer and felt good but of course gained back during winter. My goal weight would be 120 (I'm 5'5). If I could reach there I feel I would be 100 % confident. Feel free to add me if you'd like! Tomorrow is my day 1 and I will most likely go under my calorie range the first week to shed some pounds quick.

Yep! I'm in the same boat! Just losing that ever so stubborn 15lbs and then maintaining it! On top of that I just want a healthier lifestyle!

I've taken up running and yoga mainly - at this stage its all about toning the abs and the arms and burning that troublesome bit of fat on my thighs and DIET (not 'crash diet')!

Tomorrow is my day 1 and I will most likely go under my calorie range the first week to shed some pounds quick.

Whatever you do DON'T go under 1200 basic calories a day! You'll put your body into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow right down - this is worse the less you weigh to begin with! As soon as you start eating more again you'll put the weight back on and that's just sooo disheartening!

shug458

same boat here - I'm 4'11 - 5ft - not sure which one LOL - I fluctuate between 123 - 126 and I'm trying my butt off to get to 110-115. Seems like we're all in the same boat which is great - waiting for my JM 30 days shred to come in - praying it works - seen very very good results from ppl on here - I will add you and hopefully we can all learn tricks from one another

I think I'm about 136 and I'm 5'2". I'm not sure about a goal weight but I would like to lose at least a few lbs.

kenexa11

Same here, I've been using MFP for about 2 months on and off. I am 5'2" and my start weight right now is 144...I would like to be down to 120 within the next 3-4 months! I would love to lose the muffin top...lol. I've been doing zumba and working with a trainer 3 days a week for an hour. I'm feeling more fit tone wise, but I know it's my eating habits that stunt my progress! So I need some motivation as well to lose this stubborn weight!

My SW was 145, my CW is 136 and my GW is 125-130 we'll see how I feel when I get to 130. My height is 5'1 1/2". My reason for starting this loss was I looked at my BMI and I was overweight, now I am at the top end of healthy whew. Just 6 more pounds to my original goal weight and definately gonna keep logging calories when I get to my goal weight so it doesn't come back!!!

gottabekd

Well, I lost 1lb my first week but nothing my second week... do you other ladies find that you have to work really hard for results? This week I got back into weight training, I have asthma so I wanted to make sure I could handle the cardio first. I'm having trouble hitting my calorie goal as well, I just can't seem to eat enough. Any tips on how to stay motivated?

I'm currently 139 (at 5'7") with a goal of 125ish. I've just started my 3rd week of p90x. And while my weight has not dropped much I can see a difference already. Please add me anyone! I could use more friends esp. those with similar goals.

electromg

My ultimate goal is 120lbs and I'm about 140lbs now.
Unfortunately, I don't have much room for exercise except DDR and arm weights. Hoping my 1200 Calorie diet works for majority of this weight loss over some time.

I'm 5' 1 1/2" and started right around 145 last summer. I am now holding at 127 and that might be where I will stay. I originally had a goal of 135, then when I hit that I lowered it to 130. I am reasonably well satisfied where I am and am working on toning even more. I am having a difficult time keeping my calories restricted enough to lose more without being painfully hungry, so I will just maintain for a while if that's what my body dictates.

mrk1day

Same goal here as well - please friend me because I'm new and really need some friends and motivation to stick to it when i'm stressed with school!

nseuell

Wow- I'm amazed that there are this many of us! I'm 5'5 SW was 137, CW 130 and GW is 120. I have hit a plateau but it's looking like I was starting to break through it (before TOM visited) by making small changes in workout and cycling calories. We can do it! Friend me if you like

janiscurry

It's so good to see so many people with the same goals. I started MFP in mid-February, am 5'5" and my SW was 150. I am down to 134, but would like to get down to 125 - 9 pounds to go.

chr0nicbookworm

i'm 5'0"

SW 165
CW 150
GW 115-120

I have some nasty chronic illnesses that limit me, but it's so frustrating trying to lose the weight. I have a trainer I work with at the gym for about 30min a few times a month. It's hard to stay motivated though.
