    Hey there! I'm 5'2 and I started MFP 1/1/11 @ 150.2 lbs. I'm currently 129 lbs working my way to 125 lbs, then reassessing.

    Some things I have done. (Not sure if they'll help)

    -I stay around 1,200- 1,500 calories.

    -No soda (80-100 oz of Water)

    -Watch my sodium (try to stay under 2,500)

    -Exercise at least 5/6 days a week. (I started with walking, then some jogging with walking, to now mostly jogging. I also do body weight exercises)

    -No "cheat" days. I did that one of the first weeks and it ruined everything I worked for. I now give myself a little something whenever I have to have it. (most of the time I find 'healthier' options.)

    Feel free to add me!

    I'm 5'3 and 149lbs. Trying to keep calories low and exercising about 4 days a week at the moment.... not seeing much of a loss. Happy to be friends on here as a bit of a motivator!

    Feel free to add me. I am 5ft 1 1/2 (but I round up to 5 2 heehee). I started at 158 last year. I am down to 125ish (depends on how much water I'm retaining!). I lost my last ten lbs on MFP. I would like to lose maybe five more but it's not essential. Feel free to add me, I have a athletic/muscular build so I tend to carry alot of weight in him hips/thighs and if I don't keep it reigned in, I could easily gain all that weight back. Always looking for more motivational supports!

    5' 2, started in December at 159 lbs. Was aiming realistically for 140lbs, a "toned 10 stone", and as of this morning am 1 lb away!

    My approach was half the carbs, double the exercise, focusing on strength training (so at least 2 body pump classes per week). And lots of water. I don't bother stressing about eating back exercise calories, but I make sure I take in at least 1200 calories each day.

    I may try shedding a few more pounds - 140 is still just above the upper healthy bmi limit, but I'd like to keep that as my upper ceiling.

    5'1", 53 years old started at 165 bouncing between 155 and 157 for the past couple of weeks with a goal of 140. I am trying to stick between 1,000 to 1,100 calories a day. Weather is supposed to finally get nice so I can get out and walk.

    I am 5'1'', weigh 164 and 22 years old. I am really shocked because for a while I was 154 and just recently gained 10lbs so I had to get into a gym and start eating healthy. I have been doing pretty well with going to the gym but I suck at eating healthy! Before I had my son I was down to 130lbs and gained 50lbs with him, after I had him I went down to 150 and that's when I started gaining. I have the wii fit, the 30 day shred and I am in health class in college. Hopefully with those things combined I can get down to a decent weight. I am so tired of being the big girl. Oh and I would like to look nice for my birthday which is at the end of June and for my vacation in August. There is nothing like being the biggest girl on a trip full of skinny mini's!

    You can add me as well if you would like to! :)

    I'm 5'3" and 160#. Started in Jan. at 176 (or maybe a little higher, lol), and am aiming for 145 before I reasess. 104-141 is healthy BMI for me, but I want to stay at 145 for a while and see how it feels. That will be a 30# loss, and I remember feeling pretty fit and healthy at 145. We'll see.

    I'm hitting the gym 3-5x a week for at least 150 minutes total, plus I've got an active job and part of my commute is walking. I also walk my dog twice daily. I'm going for 1200 net calories.
