I'm not new but love new friends with similar goals.

I'm 22, 5'2, and 133.6 lbs (started at 140lbs) looking to get to 125. I typically eat between 1200-1400 calories/day and work out regularly.

    Hey hey!

    I'm 5'4 and started at 140 with a goal of losing 20 lbs. I'm within 2-3 lbs of my goal right now, feel free to add me! I'm going to need major encouragement once I switch to maintenance.

    I'm pretty much the same as you! I'm 5'2 and i am currently 146 lbs, but i plan to get down to at least 125 (and then see if i'm healthy there, because if i am i plan to go lower as i think i can, because my body can cope with being a low weight as long as i feed it properly) and i'm also eating 1300 calories :)

    I'm so glad that this was posted because I was planning on posting something similar! I'm currently 5'3 and 138lbs, and I'd love to get to around 118, but more importantly I'd like to lower my body fat percentage! I'm pretty new to this site, and this is my first time posting in the message boards but I figured that having the support of others would really help me!

    Right now I'm sticking to a 1200 calorie limit, but unlike most people I really have a hard time eating that much! Most of my meals are naturally low in calories so I find that I have to force myself to eat sometimes just to reach a healthy limit!

    I'm really trying to do this the healthy way, so it's great to know that there are people with similar situations out there! Feel free to add me, I'd love to talk to you all! :)

    I am 5'2 and weight about 127. I am not so sure I actually want to lose WEIGHT...I want to get rid of my soft stomach and add some muscle... and I don't want to gain weight!! which is particularly hard for me this time of year :)
    I need some friends to keep me motivated!

    Hi, fellow shortie here! I'm 5'2" ish and started out around 165lbs. Over 5 months I'm down to 145lbs. It's been SLOW going but I've consistently logged and tried my best (most of the time!). My short term goal is 135lbs (healthy bmi). I'm hoping to accomplish that sometime next spring...weight has been even slower coming off now that I'm getting close. Long term goal is to be in the 120's again. Feel free to add me if you want a consistent friend who is in this for the long haul!

    4'11, currently around 120lbs down from my high weight of 148lbs. I was 115lbs right before Hurricane Sandy but I live in New York, and two weeks without power, heat, hot water, or fresh food made me put on a whopping 12lbs. Thankfully the storm weight is coming off quickly as I've already lost 7lbs in just a few weeks. My goal weight is 105lbs-110lbs. In the past I weighed 97lbs and still looked sort of "thick" but that was in high school and I don't know if that's a reasonable goal for me.

    I have my calorie goal set at 1400 but sometimes I eat less than that. I still binge eat a few times a week but I record everything. Lately I haven't been exercising but I got a new job that requires me to run around a warehouse all day, so i'm pretty exhausted after work.

    The last few pounds are seemingly impossible for me to lose! Any time I hit 115lbs, I can't seem to maintain it. I hit that weight back in April but then my dog died, I changed jobs, and stopped counting calories. Then I hit 115lbs again at the end of October, but the hurricane happened, I lost my job, and stopped counting calories because I had no electricity for two weeks. For me, counting calories is an absolute must!

    Hey! I'm 5'2 and I weigh 143 (down from 151). My goal weight is 125, so I have a few pounds to go. But I eat around 1200-1400 Calories a day and work out five times a week. I'd love to make friends with similar goals :)

    Count me in. I'm 5'2" and 125. I'd like to get to 115. I was up to 144, and got down to 122. The last pounds are the hardest to lose, especially at 56 years old.

    Hi- 5'1", started at 137, first goal was to get to 130. Second goal (current) is to get to 120. I'm now at 125. Once I get to 120, I'll adjust again to 115 (that's what it says on my driver's license!). My weekly goal has always been 1/2 pound per week. I am fairly active, plus at least 3 workouts a week, and my current net calories are at 1290.

    My people!

    Hey ladies - I'm 5'2.5", was at 145 in October, looking to get back to 135, where I was at the end of the summer. My all time high was between 205 to 210. When I get down to 135, I think I'll be switching over to maintenance. Currently on 1460 a day for net calories. Normally, I wouldn't start a diet around this time, given the holidays and my birthday, but at my nutritionist's suggestion, I started my journal right before Thanksgiving and have now gotten in the habit. If I have bad days, I have bad days, but at least I'm used to writing down the info for it now.
