    Hey ladies! I'm 5'5 and at 159 lbs right now...started out around 189. First goal is 140 then I shall re-assess..mainly looking to get my body fat down to around 20% and get toned!

    We have the same stats, just sending you a friend request your way. I'm currently 158 and but my highest weight was 190.

    Anyone else feel free to add. I'm initially aiming for 140 and when I get there I'll see if I need to lose more.

    I started MFP in January 2012 at 168 lbs. I'm now 136 lbs. With proper nutrition and exercise it can be done. My goal weight is 130 but after I reach that I think I will aim for 125.

    Hi ladies! I started my weight loss journey in Aug 2010, when I reached my heaviest weight of 232 lbs (this after 2.5 yrs after my youngest was born). I was able to lose 57 lbs from Aug 2010-July 2011. Now it's June 2012 and I've consistently gained & lost the same 10 lbs and haven't been able to get below 175! I'm at 178 now and my goal is 145 lbs, would be awesome to get to 135, but I think 145 is more realistic. Please feel free to friend me as I could use the support :)

    Hi! I'm 53 years old, have already lost 40 lbs in 4 months. I ma n5'4" and am now at 172 and would like to be about 130-135. I am actually really having fun doing this- challenging myself with new goals on the track every week, and so far meeting them! Nice to chat with ladies with similar goals!

    I was at 185 in 2007 and got down to 139 last summer. My body has adjusted to my new job, though, and I've kind of leveled off around 147. I'd like to get back into the 130's too! Which means regular exercise! I was walking/jogging with a friend fairly regularly. But our hectic schedules got in the way and we haven't walked in awhile. This post motivates me to get back to that!! :)

    Hi Ladies,

    currently I am at 157 lbs, and I would like to get down to 130 lbs.
    I just recently started exercising ( for a little over three months ), and am still struggling with eating healthy.
    I have slowly been making changes to my diet, adding healthier food, but the junk food still tempts me, and on the weekends I often give in to the cravings.
    I am also getting frustrated with my non-existent progress at working out.
    While i do work out every day during the week, i still can't do a regular push up, a plank or even a real crunch.
    anyway, i am hoping for lots of support and motivation :-)
    Thanks!

    I started at 170 or so and trying to get to 135, i'm just over 150 currently.

    I don't try as hard as I should though, or I suppose I could be there by now

    I'm a little higher up. Before my pregnancy, I was 180 and then sky rocketed up to 220. Three years later, I am at 198. Now, I have been dieting for the last two weeks and exercising. I am now 186. My goal is to be down to 140. Can I join this topic?

    You and I have similiar goals. My starting weight was 195 my goal is 140-145. I'm 5'5.

    I just sent you a friend request. I share your journey...170 with a goal of 125. What can we do as a group to support each other towards our goal?

    That's me! I was 130 (about 1.5 years ago) until I became ill. My weight now is 157.2/4. I'm in and will do anything possible. Lets all do this!

    Im right there with the rest of you ladies. I weight 165 and I'm 5'4. My goal weight is somewhere around 120-130! I've been at it for a month so far and I'm starting to see a difference from the beginning of the month. I stay motivated by looking at the threads in the Success Stories forum :)

    I'm in. I'm 5'5" and started at 171. At last weeks weigh in I was 164. I am training for a YWCA Women's Sprint Triathlon on August 12th. It's my first. I watched two friends do it three years ago and swore I would do it someday. I was 53....
