Hello!!! First of all, congrats on beginning your journey! You CAN do this and you WILL succeed!!!
I am 5"4 and started at 225. I got down to 155 by December 8th; 70lbs gone in about 9 months! For the first several months i was limited as to what i could do after recouperating from an injury and surgery. I unfortunately put about 9 lbs on (almost all waiter weight) right after that due to being sick and the holidays. Tomorrow is my official weigh in day, but when i checked this morning i was already down to 157 again. I workout hard and eat clean (and eat a lot!)! My goal is to be anywhere between 115-130. It really depends on my bodyfat %. I am training to compete in figure/bikini competitions.
Good luck and feel free to add me if you need support!

I'm 5'4" trying to get to 125! I have like 40 pounds to go! I am working harder for this then I ever have before. This may sound really vain in a way but I'd like to be 125 before my husband and I start trying for kids. That way before i am pregnant I am in the habit of working out and eating healthy. It will help keep me active and healthy during the pregnancy and after as well! I told him I wouldn't get pregnant until we accomplished 4 things: 1) get a dog 2) buy an SUV 3) buy a house and 4) me weighing 125. 1 and 2 are completed, 3 and 4 we are working on!0

Im 26 years old and I weighed 195 for awhile and hated it ... I have been using MFP for awhile on and off now and lost 5.4 lbs and still want to lose 70 lbs ... My goal weight is 120-130 by this summer ..0

Hi there! I'm 5'2" and at my heaviest I weighed 211lbs. About a year and a half ago I lost over 30lbs, but didn't keep it off. Now I'm weighing in at about 190lbs, and am hoping to lose about 50lbs. I know that I have it in me to be successful, it is just so hard to stay on the wagon when I am so tired after work and classes. If you ever need some encouragement or someone to talk to, feel free to say hi!0

I am 5'3 and started around 220. I am now down to 147 and hope to get down to 130-135 this year. Started in March 2011. I lost majority of the weight during the 1st year. Last year I lost only about 15-20 pounds as work, travel and other distractions slowed down my progress. I also feel that my body needed the break from the large amount of weight loss from the 1st year. Hoping to get back on track and lose the last 15-20 pounds this year. Good luck and feel free to add me as a friend.0

I am 5'5" and starting at 216 looking for 135 or 130. No success yet as I'm struggling with medical issues that hinder weight loss. Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm taking the approach of something similar to Atkins this year.0

I'm 5'4 and looking to lose 24lbs in 22 weeks. That'll put me at a healthy BMI for my 22nd birthday, which is a nice thought! I'm not wanting to go crazy and lose it fast - I lost 31lbs between August and December without feeling like I was strictly 'on a diet', and that worked for me. I then took December off, which didn't :P So, I'm up a few pounds and looking to do it slowly and sensibly again.0

I'm 28 years old, 5'3", started around 198 and I'm at 189 now, aiming for somewhere between 120 and 135. I'm not really sure exactly what my goal is as I haven't been that low in my adult life. The military body fat calculator says I'm around 45% body fat right now, yikes! I think I'm aiming for around 22% body fat.0

I have had success I could have never imagined! At 5'4" I have 10 more to lose before reaching the 100lb loss and 35-40lbs to reach my gw? Not sure I honestly NEVER thought I would look like I do at 90lb loss so we shall see.This site does work! I eat 1500 cals a day and work out 30 min minimun 5x's a week.Sweat+better eating habits=success Good luck doll!!0

Well done everyone, you're all doing great!

I'm 34 years old and 5'3.5" tall. I am still a work in progress, but I have lost nearly 60 pounds. This time (I've been on this weight roller coaster for awhile), I started at 220. Here is a before picture, although I had already lost about 10 pounds in this picture. (The most I've ever weighed is around 260.)
Today, I weigh 162.5. I log everything I eat, and exercise 4 to 5 times a week. After dealing with this my entire life, I know this is the only way for me to lose weight and keep it off. I have to accept that I am always going to have to log everything, make good choices and move!
Here is a photo from last week. Not the best, but I am not very good at the self-portrait.
If this doesn't work, I apologize and I will fix it, eventually. LOL.0 -
I have the same goal! My SW is just a few lbs more. (:0
