Hi guys! Just wondering if anybody else has similar goals to me? I'm aiming for a goal weight of 128 pounds.

    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
