    I am now in my 170s (never thought I would be able to say this because it seemed so far away when I was at my highest). And I will eventually like to be in the 130s. So feel free to add me if you want.

    Best of luck!

    I have a similar goal (5'6 and 175 trying to get down to 130) but this is my first time on MFP. I've been logging in everyday and it has made me hyper-aware of how many calories I consume. Would love any suggestions on some low-impact workouts you all can give. I'm not exactly a gym person.

    Suggestion for low impact cardio:
    swim, walk, yoga, elliptical, bike.

    Hula hoop! it is a fantasitc low impact cardio workout that can work your entire body depending on what you do with it. And it is a lot of fun to do! Do some research and buy an adult hoop. It does work.

    Hi! I'm 5'0, so my goals are a little different, but 130 would be a great high-end goal for myself. I am currently at 168-169 (keep going back and forth!). I would love some more buds to be supportive with!

    I would love to join you. I am at 160 and would like to get down to my ideal weight which is about 40 lbs lighter. I am 5 feet so the weight really shows on my frame.

    It's not time wasted. It's tme learning what not to do again. I have walked miles in your shoes. 30+ years ago, I had gastric bypass. Lost 145# and gained it all back. Not only did I do it once, I managed to lose 100+# 3 more times, only to gain it back too. This time, I think that I have a handle on how to do it. I am down 141# and starting to exercise and work with a trainer. She suggested that I do MyFitnessPal and here I am. Its a startling revelation to enter all your food into a matrix and see what the end results are. I thought that I was eating healthily (and for me it certainly is as opposed to old patterns) but I am protein deficient according to the chart. So, I guess I just wanted to reach out and tell you that you are not alone in this battle and I know how those shoes feel. I am no longer chasing a # - I am working on clothes fitting. I wear a size 8 (down from 26/28) and I weigh 150#. I want to keep my same size but have muscle instead of fat and would like to be 145# - but its ok, as long as I can fit in my clothes. Takes so long to learn lessons.. Wish I had all the wasted years back, but like you, alas we don't. Keep looking forward - there is a rainbow at the end of the journey. FitForAQueen - Jaqui

    I'm with ya!

    I'm 5'3" and started out at 170 lbs in January and I'm currently at 148 (although my weigh in/measuring day is tomorrow, so I hope that's a little lower!)...honestly, I was mortified I'd let myself get to 170 since my whole life (prior to having my son, who is 5 now) I'd been very small due to musical theatre (involved TONS of dancing, several classes a week, etc).

    I'm not so much focused on an exact # (although I set my ticker goal to 130 lbs) but I'd like to get down to the size I was pre-baby-- just in way better shape. Although I was a dancer, I ate like crap and just had a good metabolism, so I was pretty skinny fat.

    At 170 lbs I had 35% body fat, hoping to get that somewhere down around 20% (18-19% would be AWESOME, but I'm not stressing over a percent point or two), so whatever weight/size that is when I get there is what I want!!
