    Hello! I'm 5'4" and trying to get down to 125lbs-130lbs. I gained approx. 12 lbs this past year after moving to Europe for a few months - too much good food, alcohol and not enough exercising! I've actually started counting my calories and exercising and I've already lost 4lbs in the past 9 days! I'd love to add all of you as buddies since I'm looking for motivation as well! :)

    I know life can get in the way, but you can do it if you have 12 min. Check out bodyrock.tv or Zuzkalight on YouTube.

    Hi there,
    I'm 5.2", SW: 142 lbs, CW: 131lbs, GW1: 125 lbs, Final GW: 115.
    I had also put on about 20-25lbs over the last 2-3years after being content and letting it slip.
    But back on it now though and ready to take charge and keep it off.
    Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

    Hey! I'm 5'2 also and I'm trying to get to 125. Right now I'm at about 143 so I have a bit more to lose. But my friend is actually getting married in July also and I'm a bridemaid so I'm trying to drop my weight by the same time. Would love be your buddy!!

    I'm 5'2", weigh 138.5. I'd love to hit 125, would love 120 even more!

    I found in a doctors appointment, to my absolute horror, that I had gained almost eight pounds since my last visit six months ago. I have officially sworn to myself that I will -never- have that conversation again.


    Same thing happened to me! 8 pounds in exactly 6 months ! I was 130!

    I'm in the same boat! Looks like us teachers have a lot in common, and I hate to use the excuse of "no time" but sometimes I do. I'm about 130 now and I'd love to get down to 125 or even 120. Let's do it!

    Hi. I had a similar reason a year ago -- my daughter's wedding! I made my goal, of 130, which meant I had to lose 18 pounds. I'm a retired teacher. And then, this summer, I put on 4 pounds from wedding, too much fun.

    So yesterday I started back with my fitness pal. Tracking the food makes such a difference -- even when I blow it the first day, since I had book group last night and my friend made apple crisp with homemade ice cream. But I'm also much more motivated to exercise since I SEE the calories added back in. Yesterday and today I went to the gym.
    BTW, that was the REAL difference in my losing the weight last year -- exercising a minimum of 5 days a week and on off days, walking at least a mile and a half (lap of my neighborhood.

    Good luck! You can do it -- and you'll be so glad when the wedding pictures come back.

    I have the exact same stats-5ft2 (well, ok, 1.75 inches but I like to round up!) and I weigh around 135ish right now. 120-125lbs seems to be my happy weight, and I'm struggling to get back there. Feel free to friend me, I always like more buddies!
