    WOW! Almost the same. I'm just under 5'3", about 180 lbs (the pic is from a couple years ago when I had lost 84 lbs. Put most of it back on after a surgery) I'm hoping to get down to 120-130 before July so I can be cute on my birthday. I have lost a lot of weight before, so I know lots of good tips and recipes. I love to cook and hate to exercise. I have lots of pain so I might need encouragement to be active. My boyfriend got this app because he is in a weight loss competition at work, and I thought I'd try it too. Add me if you want. :)

    I am 26, 5'2" and started at 184. My aim is 125 but I have no idea what that would be like having been big since my teens. Not got a deadline either!

    I am doing Zumba twice a week, walking every day and am going to look into different workout DVDs probably by Jillian Michaels. Oh and weights too!

    I was! I am 5'3", 31 and my starting weight was 172 (ish!) now at 130 and aiming for about 120. I started weight lifting a few month ago so mainly focused on body fat/lifting performance (as well as toning my *kitten*!). I have done the Couch to 5K prog - which is amazing, and 30 day shred, as well as lots and lots of dog walking!

    I'm 5'6, 29, 194 lb. Aiming for 145 as I am a bit taller, that and I start to loose my boobs below that weight lol. I love yoga & hiking mostly but I also hit the gym for some group classes like Zumba from time to time. I have trouble with running, I almost completed a 5k program but I am injury prone. I also get tendonitis in my wrists so weight training is tricky. I stick to what I can do and enjoy though, don't let it get me down. Sometimes I'll just work in a quick at home dance session for fun :)

    Hi I am 32, 5'2'' and weigh 148 pounds. I have put on about 20 pounds in the last one year and finding it very difficult to go back. My old clothes dont fit me and I feel bloated and plump. I used to go to gym regularly but am looking for inspiration because I have stopped going for the last many months and not getting the motivation to start again. My food habits have also become bad. I eat a lot of sugar and junk and tend to eat more when depressed. Looking for weight loss buddies and inspiration from other woman.

    I'm 5'4, now at 181 after losing 15 lbs. GW is 150 and then I will reconsider from there - hoping I can make it into the 130s eventually but I can't even fathom that!

    hey ya'll! i'm 5 foot 3 inches and weighed in at 201 today. =( however, i am aiming for 150 lbs and then we'll see from there. i used to be over 240 so i'm proud of myself for getting this far but still need to get further. it's hard to find motivation and time to do what i need to do to exercise and lose it! i like doing unconventional exercise methods, too. like i've heard that hula hooping is great for exercise and cardio as well as your core muscles. that as well as belly dancing and pole fit exercises. anyone tried any of those?

    Hey! I started right where you are now :) (5'3.5", 185.4lbs). I'm 170.0 now. Definitely feel free to friend me!

    I do TurboFire, BeFiT (YouTube series, some nice butt work ;P but also have some basic vids that have the same nice routines just lower impact than in the serious vids like Insanity... no lie. There's burpees, scissor kicks.. and they're all 10 mins!). When I feel like it I do elliptical and/or treadmill. Aug-Oct and Jan-Mar I do Zumba 2x week for a total of 2 hrs a week. :) I'm also thinking about getting into lifting!

    I'm 5'5", 187lbs and hope to be down to around 140 by June next year. Been on MFP just over 2 months, and although not much has moved on the scale, I have lost some inches. Most of the time has been spent trying to figure out what calories and macros work best for me! I have also been strength training so gaining some muscle over the 2 months as well. Feel free to add me! Support is great on this website!!

    I'm 195, 5'3''. Same kinds of activities too- I have a 5k in two weeks! :)

    I'm also an avid Zumba attendee- I have the DVD's, but I have classes 3 days a week which are tons of fun! :)

    I also weight train.

    I am 40, 5'3" 181 lb. I am just beginning as well, and I would like to get down to 130. It's hard for me to exercise because I am a wheelchair user at the moment, and suffer from a painful connective tissue disorder. I also just had surgery on my knee. BUT I am eating healthier, and watching my calories. I plan to tone my upper body while I recoup from surgery and do cardio with my Wii. Add me if you want. I need all the support and motivation I can get.

    I'm 5'4" and 196. I'm definitely bigger, but close-ish :-) I'm just getting into the community part of MFP so I could use any support I can find. I'm down 43 pounds sice April snd I'm working toward losing another 57. My current goal is to lose 7 in December. That way I can say I lost 50 pounds in 2012! I've been on MFP since late August. It sounds like you have a good mix of fun workouts which is great. I'm sure you'll do well!

    Hello! I'm new to the site, just joined December 2nd...I'm 5'1 and I currently weigh 168 lbs. I was 182 lbs in April 2012, and have been trying off and on to lose about 50 lbs. I started with these 2 groups to lose weight and develop a healthy lifestyle through a healthy diet and exercise. I was 172 lbs when I joined in October 2012. I am still trying to get it together, and even though I havent lost much weight, I've lost a total of 10 inches overall and have gone down 2 pants sizes. Its a daily struggle, and many times I fail to stay on plan but I refuse to give up. I'm a work in progress...
