    I'm 5'3 and 206 lbs. I started at 220 and my ultimate goal weight is 120. If I could be 160 before I go on my vacation in July I would be very happy. I've been using mfp for about a year on and off but now I'm actually taking it seriously. Please feel free to add me. I could really use support and motivation.

    Hello! I'm 5'0 as well and weigh 157 lbs. My goal is to be around 110. I'm in college as well and I have to say that for me, it is hard to get motivated a lot of the time.

    Im 5'2" and still trying to lose the last 15-20lb of baby wt. (he's 2!) I consistently have 5-6 very hard workouts per week and eat very healthy but can't seem to get below the 150lb mark, now for about 18mos! Very frustrating when I work so hard and the lbs just don't move. I'm wondering, what are your calorie nets for a day? I've been doing 1200-1500 for the last year with no success and now thinking of bumping it up to 1600-1800 but limiting carbs (one whole grain per day, no bread at all).

    Being in school and focusing on nutrition is a tough one, but not impossible. Stay away from fast food as much as possible. For studying food try fruit and, for me, Crispers. Crispers are a good alternative to chips. Also, Wheat Thins are another good one. -Mel

    Hi :) I'm 4' 9 1/2" and currently at about 160. Boo! My goal weight is 135 (what I weighed when I got married 2.5 years ago). I lost 20 lbs several years ago (sw 145 and reached 125lbs), but it was awful. I literally ate the exact same thing everyday for 6 months (grapenuts w/ banana, yogurt w/ apple, salad & tuna w/ mixed veggies, and salad, chicken w/ rice, & mixed veggies). I am excited to get serious with MFP because I can plan out a variety of food for the day and I know my calories are reasonable. Please feel free to add me.
