    How did most of you start losing weight and how long did it take. BTW I work out everyday for about 1 hour and a half but i have only lost 2lbs in 3 weeks :frown:

    I'm 5'1"
    SW: 173
    CW: 116

    I never did a reward system for myself. My first goal was 130 by last June which I achieved. I guess my reward was the satisfaction of knowing I succeeded.

    It took me 11 months to lose the first 43 lbs. I didn't work out at all. Just ate at a deficit.
    I exercise now, for 30min to an hour 6 days a week. Started doing that last June.

    whenever I hit each 5 lb mark, i bought myself a big bouquet of flowers. little treats along the way helped me stay on goal, instead of one big gift at the end.

    I'm 5 ft. I had my third baby 4 months ago. I just got divorced and I've never been so determined to get back on track. I have before pics stashed somewhere on my computer. I'm a size 10 right now though. Can't wait to fit in a size 4 again. Maybe even a 2.

    I did 3 weeks of NO grains, alcohol, or sweets. NONE. Then in week 4, I added one serving of whole grains daily. Other than that, I've basically made sure that everying is real - cannot stress that enough. If you are having chocolate, don't have processed milk chocolate - make sure it's at least 70% cocoa chocolate. If you're having yogurt, don't have zero calorie diet yogurt - make sure it's full-fat, real yogurt. The biggest piece of advice i've got, is eat REAL food - not chemical *kitten*-storm processed foods targeted and marketed towards us dieters. Best of luck to you!

    I'm just over 5 foot tall, I have lost 44 pounds in 7 months. I have at least 20 to go but I might up that since I barely see a difference with as much as I've lost already. I started at 208 pounds and am down to 164.

    I'm 5'1 and I lose pretty slow. Its usually about 1 lb or half of one. But I do have some progress pics on my blog. Its awesome to see the difference even if I'm no where near where I want to be. My goal is pretty much to get back into the 'normal' weight range (so under 130). I'd really LOVE to get back into the 110's but idk if thats going to happen =/
    Anyways heres the link to my blog if you wanna see the progress:

    I am 4'8 and I want to loose 56 lbs. as my first goal and at least 30 more as a second goal..By the end I would like to be at least 120... When I hit my first goal (only 26 lbs to go) I plan on getting a manicure as well as a pedicure as a reward for myself but once I hit my goal I plan on buying a new warbdrobe.

    Hi everyone, i don't normally post on these things, but this one for short people tickled me pink! I am 5'1 and a half (156cm), my starting weight was 76.4kg (168) and I am now 72.5kg (159lbs). My goal is to be 62kgs (136lbs) and 5"10" (177cm)!!! Only one of these goals is going to happen...

    I am a 50 year old Kiwi living in Australia, who hasn't used lbs and inches since about 1970, so forgive me if I slip into metric now and then!

    I am very impressed with some of the before and afters...absolutely stunning photos and they are all a great incentive to me. I am not brave enough to post my before and afters, but maybe, fingers crossed once I lose a bit more, I will do it!!

    I'm 5'0. My SW was 220. CW is 207. GW is 115. I try to reward myself as often as possible. Every 5 lbs I buy myself a new book for my e-book readers (my reading habit gets expensive).
