New to MFP

Hello, I'm Jennifer. I'm 25 and a new Momma (baby boy born 2-11-11), and I feel as if I've always had a problem with weight loss, even though I've never gotten too big, I have trouble getting to my goal weight. I have been an athlete for a long time, and recently had begun running, but thanks to an ankle injury from last year, have been unable to continue running for now, and not sure when I will be able to again. I have a desk job, so the only exercise I have at work is going up two flights of stairs, which I do 3-4 times a day. My highest post-pregnancy weight was 146, am down to 140 right now, and want to get to 136, which is a couple of pounds lower than my high school weight. Really though, I want to press on and see just how low my body can comfortably go. I am 5'4" so I am hoping to get into the lower 130s, maybe even high 120s(I was 12 last time I was there)...hope it works, but proud of myself either way!

Hey I'll add you. I'm also 5 ft 4 and always hovering around top 130lbs/bottom 140lbs. Nice to meet someone with similar goals. Ideally I want to get to 133 but like you say....keep pushing to see what is realistic for my height.
