    I'm 5'7, 147lbs. My goal weight is 124lbs, so very similar.

    Oh cool! What are you doing to try and get there, like what kind of exercise etc.?

    I just got serious this week, but trying to move around more. Most of my day is spent sitting. Also, cutting out drinking. It seems like a lot of my socializing involves drinking, since I'm no light weight, this has added weight.

    I'm the same, I drink once or twice every week, and a lot on each occasion. Hard to cut out though! Katealbright- how have you managed to lose so much weight already?

    I have lost 18 lbs in 3 months. The first month I lost 8 lbs which is not uncommon for beginner losses. And other than that I'm prettymuch losing at a rate of 1.25 lbs a week so that's 10 lbs in the last 2 months.

    But I eat very well I think and don't drink often. I think diet and food quality is most important. Although I have gone through phases of working out 6x a week, I now work out more like 3x a week.
    I talk more about what I eat here, about 9 posts down: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/810160-5-7-girl-155-to-130-progress-pics?page=2
