http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/717575-i-lost-over-80-pounds-in-1-year

I am 5'3.5" and my highest weight in my life was 230lbs. Now I am 142 and I want to be 125. I want to be there by August for my brother's wedding. But I am finally within normal weight range and that feels fantastic!!! I am 41 years old and am probably the healthiest I have ever been. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I am 5'3'' and lost 46 lbs so far... my suggestion is just keep going! And set some goals and when you accomplish those set new goals!

5'4"
SW: 235
CW: 177.75
GW: 130-135

I started in June, so I've lost these 57 pounds in the last six months.

Good job

I'm 5'4'' and trying to lose over 70 lbs. I've lost over 20 of those so far. I love looking at everyone's before and afters. It really motivates me to keep going. Any 5'4''ish ladies out there who have had success?

I'm 5.2 and weigh 207 and I want to get to around same as you. i used to weigh 237 and got down to 184 at 1 point by using a pt trainer. eating around 1600 cals' and working out with weights and hard cardio 5 to 6 times a week.

I did use different diets but i found using the idea of "healthy not additives and rubbish kinda foods" worked best. I eat 3 meals a dayplus 2 small healthy snacks and i found that my blood sugar evened out and I wasn't craving or hungry to eat rubbish all the time. I also allowed myself 1 full day off exercise at least and 1 day off dieting a week. having a day off helped me around living a normal life, so if I wanted to go out once a week to friends or for a meal. the day off helped.

Good luck in your endevours and keep your chin up, work hard but also remeber that the scales are not everything, being healthy is the most important and losing body fat is a good way of measuring your losses.

Also do your measurements too every 2 to 4 weeks and don't get too down if you're weight is sticking. As long as you're losing fat your body will look tighter and more toned all over. xx

I'm 5'4" and have gone from 194 to 162 since late August. I still have another 30 to go but I've slacked off lately. My next mini goal is to be at -35 by my 35th birthday. That's 3 pounds in less than 2 weeks. I diet much better when my hubs is out of town and he's been home a long time.

I'm 5' 4" and started at 250 pounds a few weeks ago. I don't have any current photos of myself because I'm way too self-conscious to be in front of a camera. Maybe after I've reached my first weight loss goals. So far I've lost a little weight by cutting out fast food and preparing my own meals from scratch. I'm eating more vegetables and starting each day with a protein shake with fruit. Reading these forums has been very helpful too and i'm trying to become a more active poster. I love tracking my food intake on MFP and making sure I have balanced meals each day.

I love to walk and swim and I'm trying to get myself motivated to start exercising again. Walking was getting painful because of my excess weight so I had to stop that this summer.

Good luck to us all!

I'm 5'4 and currently at 156. Started at 165 at the beginning of December. Goal weight is 135, but I could go down to 130, maybe 125, depending on how I feel. Quit smoking 9 months ago, so I did gain some weight from that, too. But I had already been putting on extra weight (I was always around 125-130 comfortably for years),

I mainly ride my exercise bike or walk/jog on the treadmill (I prefer to walk outside, but it's so cold in NY right now). I also like to do some tv workouts like Gilad's shows. I'd like to add some weight training as well. I do it all at home.

Feel free to add me. I log on daily and love to give and get encouragement.
