Halfway there.

lmiedema

When I started this I was just in the overweight range: 25.6. At the time I was 140lbs and 5ft 2in.
Now I have lost 11lbs and have a bmi of 23.3. I know, it may not seem like much of a loss to many of the people who've been on this site for a while, but if I hadn't lost the weight now--it would have gotten much much worse. My goal is to have a bmi of about 21-22. So I'm about halfway there!

These forums have been big help to me and I want to hear the stories of people who are there, halfway there, or just started! This probably is the best thing from this site--even better then the diaries for me!

Thanks so much!

I was in a similar boat as you. I am 5'2" as well and weighed between 140-145 prior to both of my pregnancies. My son has been nursing for a long time now and I actually lost weight with that alone. When I started this I was at the high end of the normal weight for BMI, so I knew I had to do something, or else I would end up back in the overweight category. I have lost 6lbs since I started on here, and it has already made a huge difference for me. I know it does seem like a small amount, but for us shorter girls, a few pounds can make a big difference.
