Im 5' 6" 196 and Trying to find others in the same weightloss boat as I am. Finally left the 200s (For GOOD!!) and working my way out of the 190s (slowly but surely). I am trying to reach the 160s by Christmas. (165 specifically) . What are some of you doing to reach your goals?

    Well, I'm currently 200. My ultimate goal is 140ish. If I could be in the 160s by Christmas, I would be thrilled. I think it's do-able.

    I'm quitting smoking this week (the horror) so I can really push harder on my bike rides. I'm also trying to get motivated to do morning workouts 3 days a week. I've just been walking 3-5 a days a week and doing a Sunday bike ride for the past 4 months or so.

    I'm 5'6, currently 195, my starting weight was 226. My goal is 150, though. Sounds like we're in a similar boat! Feel free to add me, we can encourage each other :]

    Well, I started over 200 and am currently just under 180 wanting to get to 160 and pretty sure I'll make that by Christmas! I'm a jogger/walker and hoping to add some dance classes in come fall - got to keep up with my kids!

    I am also 5'6", I started at 245 and currently sit at 161. I have stalled here for a bit but its becuase I have been lax.
    Time to kick up a notch and get another 5-10 lbs max off. I workout 3x a week, with weights and cardo..have started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, also love to run.

    I started in the 190s and am now in the 160s. I am working my way down to 155 though.

    Forgot to answer the second half. I run and do a lot of body weight exercises. I did do a round of 30DS which got me through the 170s.

    My goal weight is between 160-175. I'm 5'7" ish, and in the 200's. It's so hard to break the 200's! I really need to get more serious. *sigh*

    When I started (prior to joining MFP) I was up to 199, I'm 5'5. I joined MFP in November and I met my goal of 145 back in April. It was a lot of hard work, and it continues to be, but so far I've been maintaining. Feel free to add me, I am on here everyday :-) and I try to be supportive. I still need the support even with maintaining, it's so easy to go off course, hard to break a bad habit that you had for 29 years!

    My short term goal is to see the 160's by end of August. I started at 190 in January, and I am down to 173!!! Only 3 more stinking pounds!!! My long-term goal is to be somewhere between 145-150, I would love to be that by this christmas!

    I'm just under 5'7" and my goal is 150 lbs. I was 136 lbs in high-school but had no muscle tone so, I plan on reassessing my goals as I get to 150 lbs and seeing how I feel.

    My starting weight was 192, i just decided to eat more whole grains and started to do some exercise,
    probably about 2, 3days a wk... Nothing too heavy, now am 162 and My goal is to get to 135 which
    is 27pds away =)
    .... I am really hoping to be about 150 by the end of August. I am trying to do more cardio workouts,
    hate running, but that is what am focusing on. Looking to run about 4x a week, do some abs, and toning workouts about 2
    of those cardio days..... Maybe add an extra day of zumba, tae bo or kickboxing ... Total of working out 5days per wk..

    That way I'll reach my goal SOON, SOON, SOON!!!!!!!
    Best of luck to all of you =)

    Stay motivated and away from the processed foods!

    160 has been my goal since I started eating healthier @ 242, but since I am able to maintain my weight within a ten pound range when I am not actively trying to lose, I have recently decided to set my goal @ 150. This way that 10 lb fluctuation I experience when maintaining my weight will still be my goal weight. =)

    Just dropped out of the 190s...

    I am 5'8/200 even. I am on a mission. I would like to be 160-165. Christmas goal sounds good, need some motivation. Just logged day three, completed workout. I lost 22lbs a few months back and had surgery and was in a bed for a few months and gained back. Determined to get it off!
