I'm 5'4 210, 26, and no kids, I'd like to get down to 180. I'm lazy, un-motivated and I don't eat well. I'm using MFP to hold myself accountable for everything I eat. it's hard to do on weekends because I'm hardly ever near a computer. that's where I fail.

I'm all of the above except I have kids. But I was gaining weight before my kids and never really stopped to think about it until I didn't have the energy to keep up with them as they got older. My highest weight was 194. I'm currently at 169. It is a tough battle, especially for me as a foodie and the fact that I like to drink just about every weekend. The first thing I did was switch to drinking only water. Maybe 1-2 times a week I'll have a measured out cup of juice. I also started by adding in exercises, then once I got in the habit of exercise, I changed my eating habits. I tried (many times) before this to lose weight, only I tried it all at once and on my own. Trying to eat right, exercise, and switch all my bad habits in one day just made me crash and burn. I also allow myself 1 day a week where I don't log anything. I don't go crazy over board, but I don't pay attention to every single calorie. Another thing that helps is by being active most of the day. I used to just sit down with my kids to watch movies/play games but now I try to be active most of the day. I'll go outside for a walk with them, or just find things to do around the house so I'm not sitting. It's a long journey, and it will have it's ups and downs, but it is so worth it. I have the occasional day where I feel like giving up, but then I look at how far I've come and how great it feels and it makes me want to reach my goal.

I am 27 years old without kids and am 5'4.75'' (yes I need that .75 lol) and started my weight loss at 178lbs in January 2011. I am currently 138lbs and have 10 more pounds until I reach my goal. When I first started losing weight I would workout at least 4 times a week for an hour, mainly cardio. Then after a few months in I started doing a combination of cardio and yoga. I now do 30 day shred, yoga, and cardio to mix it up.

I am 28 years old, 5'4'' and weight 138. When I started MFP in March 2011, I was weighing in at about 153, which is close to my highest weight. When I got married 5 years ago (close to it, anniversary next month) I weighed 138. Ideally, I'd like to get close to 130, but I'm happy with this for now! It's all about a lifestyle change - eating healthy and exercise! Good luck, you can do it!! Friend me if you need some support.

Hey!! I'm 5'3" 30 years old, starting weight on MFP was 175; current weight 162 and my goal is around 145. I do have a daughter though. Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me!

WOW....Now this is amazing!! I am 5'4 I was 202 when I started...I currently dont have any kids...Never see this topic..I am very shocked....Lets get it!

Haha, weird - I'm 5'4", 25, no kids, started at ~175-178ish. I'm now down to about 149ish. The loss seems to be slowing as I near to the last 15 pounds! My goal is around 135.

I've basically just been tracking with MFP and exercising. I try to net about 1430 calories per day, though usually it's lower on weekdays and higher on weekends. Netting that usually means eating most of my exercise calories, though I do knock down MFP's calorie burn estimates a bit. I've been doing c25k (on Week 7, Day 2 now) and strength training (roughly following the New Rules of Lifting for Women book).

I put up some progress photos on my blog, which you're welcome to check out, if you want: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/stephaniekeating/view/almost-25-pounds-down-lots-of-pics-133044

I'm 5'4", 25 years old, 183-184 lbs, though I am not childless. My weight info is in my signature.

I'm just been keeping track of what I eat and getting some exercise here and there. It's been pretty easy, actually. I'm surprised, and I feel a lot better about myself already.

5'4" Started at 250 last August. Weighed in at 211 today. Walking, walking walking until a couple weeks ago. Now it's swimming, walking, and 30 Day Shred. I've actually gained a pound and a half since I started adding the swimming and 30DS. Hoping it's muscle weight

Edit: no kids, also... someday!

What is your story? How did you get there!! btw you look great!!!

I guess I don't have a story! I have not stepped a foot in a gym since I started! I do ski in the winter and bike/ kayak in the summer. This summer I started running a 1/2 mile in the begining and now I run a 5k 2ce a week and a 2 mile run once a week. In the begining I used the wii a lot because it was winter I like the EA Active 2, just dance, wii fit... I just make sure I close to my cals every day and never go under 1200. I will be honest I do not count veggies I put on my cheeseburgers, gum, or crystal light (unless I have had a lot of it). I will admit I still eat pad thai, chinese food and icecream.

all I can say is counting cals with this site and the support has been amazing. I found that I now know what a portion size is, how much I should be eating a day and still feel full, how much I much I like to be active, how much better my self esteem is, how better clothes feel and look, and how much fun it is to go shopping!


and thank you! you can never hear it enough how great you look!

Did you girls lose all your weight naturally.... just exercising and eating healthy???

Yes I have lost my weight the hard way. Exercise, and eating stuff I never ever thought I would like!! Eating less of the stuff I absolutely loved replacing it with good foods.
