anyone around 140lbs?

Hi there,

I just signed up to MFP and am looking to lose those pesky final 6-7lbs. I'm 5"6ish and 140lbs at the moment, would like to be about 133-134 by the time I go on a beach holiday later this year!

Would love to connect with anyone who has about the same amount to lose, or who's about my weight currently. Feel free to add me, I could definitely do with help keeping motivated right now! :smile:

    Hi there, I am 5'4" and am always just hovering above 140. 130 would be a dream, and I would be quite happy even with 135!

    Im 5'6 and about 143.5 i think (thats what the scale said last time I weighed myself, but I just don't believe it, because I was 145.5 2 days earlier, same scale though) I started at 149 a few weeks ago. Looking to get down to 128! Just a number I came up with but If I end up getting toned at a higher weight than that, that is fine too. :)
  • HI! I'm 5'6 and weigh 139. I want to get down to 130 before college and cannot eat past 6. I wish I had a faster metabolism, but at least I know this before college that I can't be one of those people that can eat anything I want and still lose weight haha.

    I'm 141lbs right now. It feels like I've been in the low 140's forever haha (I've been here since April) I really want to just be able to see 139 or maybe 138 on the scale haha. My ultimate goal weight is 128lbs though, but I gotta get into the 130's first.

    I'm 5' 5" and I'm out 137. I had gotten to 130 last year, but I didn't exercise over the winter and it's creeping back. I really need to tone. My goal is about 125. I'm 44. Any advice on keeping a young, vital look? I've noticed my skin sagging around my neck with my loss. I started my original weight loss around 2 years ago and came down from 154.

    I'm 5'5 and 143... Story of my life is go from 125-143 (Yes, I'm at the very top)... I find it the hardest that people say that I don't need to lose weight, so when there is a cookie.. or another glass of wine.. I think it's ok! But, I'm the happiest and feel the best in my clothes at 125, so I am really serious about changing my habits, so I can be stable. Are you working out or focusing on diet or both?
  • I am 5'4" and 139 lbs and I'm trying to get down to 115-120. I struggle with being able to eat 1200 calories in a day and I gained weight while being away at school.

    I'm 5' 6" and currently 142 lbs (down from 152 in January). I have a tendancy to fluctuate by about 10 lbs throughout the year and this is usually my lowest before it starts creeping back again (usually after my summer holiday!)

    I'd love to get under 140 to see how I look and how manageable it is to maintain.

    Hi. I'm 5'7" and at the moment am 144 lbs. My goal is to be around 130 in a few months. I'm middle-aged and find that I don't drop the weight nor the inches like I did in my 30's. I just started using this app this week and find it helpful. I haven't lost any weight yet, but feel pretty good. My shorts a little looser.

    I'm 144 lbs and my daily goal is 1480. It's tough. I didn't realize before this app that I ate so much! What's your daily goal?

    I just started on MFP and I'm looking for people who are like me. I'm 5'7" and 145 lbs, but aiming for 120-125. Anyone have any tips on not gaining back the weight (which has happened before) , getting a toned physique, and staying psyched once I get to my goal?
