    Hi. I'm 5'2 and originally started at 312. Right now I'm at 237. I don't really have a certain pound I would like to be. I would just like to get down to a size 14. Exercise is a struggle for me because I am tired, sore and I have a lot of extra flabby skin. But it's not going to stop me.
    Good luck to you.

    most definitely! I am 5-3 276 lbs and my goal, is about 120 lbs away. Just getting back to my logging and found a crazy affordable bootcamp thanks to a friend of a friend. It would be amazing to have MFP friends with similar challenges! Thanks for posting! :wink:

    I just re-started tracking my intake, this time w/ eyes wide open as I take a 12 week course about nutrition and weight loss. I am 5' 4" weighed in at 234.6 today down near 4.5 lbs from last week when the class started, but then again I was sick w/ cold this week. I too have just under 100 lbs to lose- cannot yet wrap my head around that. It's funny but back in highschool when I was anorexic I always thought I was sooo fat and now that I should be saying I'm fat I don't feel half as fat as I did then and am surprised every time I truely look in the mirror and see how large I've gotten post baby # 2 (age6) & 3 (age 17 months). Cannot believe how quickly I meet/ exceed how much I'm supposed to be taking in... and don't even want to think about how much I used to without caring or thinking. I too have "eaten my emotions" and stress for too many years. I am taking it baby bites at a time... first w/ the tracking, then on to changing WHAT I'm eating to healthier; already eat wide variety w/ all our food allergies but when I get stressed or rushed I grab the wrong foods- this is improving since I've made a concentrated effort on prepping fruits & veggies, etc and WAY smaller sample grab bags of various snacks and wraps to eat healthy on the go... I do this more than cook now on the weekends and cook more simpler stuff t/o the week now. For me this is not just about the food but what underlies the behaviors and I want to be around for my family. I know in my head that I should be working out but cannot find the time with work and raising a family while my husband is in school and working- and he even helps way more than many hubbys do. I am totally lacking the motivation or even desire to discuss working out... I'm sure it will come. I used to use the excuse that I was afraid I would cross over the line and become anorexic again w/ over working out all day... but that is SO not reality now. Soooo much work to do in so many areas to get past this hurdle called "morbid obesity" and into health again! It's time for me to no longer come last!!!

    I am new tho this and ready to lose! Currently I am at an all time high of 258. I'd like to be 165 or lower, but more importantly, I'd like to change my lifestyle. I'm lucky because I like to exercise - not to so lucky about the lack of time with 3 small kids,

    I started at 291, and currently weight 279. and 5'7 tall.. My ultimate goal is to be 150lbs. But i will ideally want to get under 200lbs. With having 3 kids i have gained 100lbs of pregnancy weight that never came off. Feel free to add me you can never have too many friends.

    At the beginning of my weight loss journey I weighed 280.. I am about 255 now and I'm 5'4ish. I've maintained that weight for about 5 months, so I'm ready to push myself to my first goal weight which is 200lbs. ADD ME (:

    I just started this week. I'm 24 years old, 5'6, 209 lbs today (somehow I was 214 lbs like 3 days ago, my weight jumps up and down every day) Goal is 150 for now, once I get there, I will probably try for 135. You can add me :)

    Hey everyone thanks for the wonderful feedback and adds I'm hoping people will still read this but I was wondering if you guys could add my sister too? She's very overweight and has battled with it for years due to pcos, she managed to drop 4 stone last year but still has a very long way to go. She wants to have more children and she's just hit 30 and fears her time is running out the doctors won't help her conceive until she's at a healthier weight. She tends to lack motivation at times and since this community has helped me so much lately wondering if u guys could give her that positive push in the right way :) her names miasue31 thanks! X

    Yeah I'm 5'8" and I'm currently about 265lbs but at one point I was almost 300lbs and I was a lot heavier at the end of last year and before I started working out. I joined this site because my physical trainer recommended keeping track of my calorie intake and that this place was good. My ultimate goal is probably closer to 165 but I will know when I get there, since I'm also strength training.
