Those of you who started around 140lbs where are you now?

I'm 5'3 and really need to get this extra weight off! Do you have any before or after pics? What was your weight loss plan? Right now I'm trying to eat the best I can and count my calories. I work a lot and I'm constantly on the move while working. I also bought an exercise bike (For inside) that should be here any day now. Running will also be on my list. Thanks in advance!

    I've been anywhere between 130lbs to 144lbs. I was 144lbs two months ago and got down to 136lbs but I had been weightlifting, so the muscle weight creeped on and I am 140lbs. My bust, waist & hip measurements are the same so I haven't gained any fat back. I'm focusing more on inches now since I can't really figure out how much of my scale weight is fat or muscle.

    I'm 5 foot 3.75 inches. My highest weight was 151lbs once upon a time, but on New Year's Day 2012 I weighed 145lbs. Since then I've lost 30lbs and got down to 115lbs (as shown in my profile picture).

    Although it did take me a whole year to lose 30lbs, I wanted to lose the weight slowly and surely by gently exercising and keeping my calories at a healthy level so that the weight would STAY off, rather than starving myself so that it all dropped off at once and then piled back on.

    I don't know what your goal weight is but I can't imagine it's any lower than mine. So this time next year you could very easily be sat at your computer posting about your own story in the Success Stories forum. :)

    Also, feel free to add me! I do have another 7lbs to budge, since whilst I was at 115lbs before Christmas, I have put on 4lbs over the holiday period and my ultimate goal is 112lbs. You can join me on my quest to get toned and fit (18% body fat) as well as slim :)
