I'm 5'9.5" and this morning my scale said 166 Since the beginning of November I've been going to my school's rec center at least 4 days a week to do at least 30 minutes of cardio. I LOVE my crosstrainer I started out weighing just over 200 and my clothes were too tight. I NEEDED to change so I started dieting and exercising! My mom had to put darts in all of my shorts to make them smaller and I ever ordered two size 10 shorts from American Eagle! You can lose the weight!

I am also a work in progress. I am 5'9" (used to be 5'10" but lost an inch after I started running after my last pregnancy).. I went from 264 down to 189 and then got pregnant again. I found myself back at 253 but now I am back down to 220. I don't really have time to work out but I do a lot of milk pumping. Hoping to get back on the band wagon exercising in a few months when my milk production goes down.

It is a slow and steady race.

I'm 5'8 / 5'9 and did weigh 175lbs. I now weigh 142lbs. Limited calorie intake to 1200 - 1350, ate back half exercise calories, did minimum of 30 mins running or gym 6 days a week. Drank LOTS of water.

However, I did allow myself to live. I don't believe in punishment and had every week:
1 x takeaway (not monitoring at all) on a friday night
1 x cooked breakfast out somewhere saturday morning
1 x Big Sunday dinner

I lost on average 1 - 2 lb per week, although did have a bad stage over christmas, new year time for a month.

I know I don't weigh alot, and never was hugely overweight, but I have tiny bones - my arms and wrists are that small that no adult watch fits me without removing EVERY link!!! Still have my big bum though. Nothings gonna change that. Genetics are a b*tch.
