    I have been jogging on the C25K for a week, having a bad week so starting week 1 again to build myself up for monday beeing week 2! Anyway I saw my aunt the other day and she hadn't seen me in about 5 days and she said to me "Gosh Alicia I only saw you 5 days ago you look like you've lost a few lbs" - But I don't want to weight myself yet, i'm doing 3 weeksly weighins... Got 2 weeks till my next weigh.

    I'm 5'3" & started at 150lbs currently down 9lbs & my Goal is to get to 120-125lbs

    If you want some inspiration have a go on this.... http://www.modelmydiet.com/ I found it useful & still do use it as a motivator :happy:

    Hi all joining in thread as I've just started logging again after a couple of months break. I'm 39 and around 5ft1 and live in the UK. I have always had to work hard to maintain my weight and every extra lb seems to show up when you are shorter. I am currently 139lbs (9st 13) after gaining weight at christmas and not losing it.

    My lowest weight ever was 112lbs n my early 20's and was told I looked Ill at this weight, I'm not a small build for my height and have always had chunky muscular legs :(

    My highest ever weight was in 2005 after the birth of my first child was 165lbs and I managed to lose 42lbs by doing slimming world classes. Since then I never regained all the weight despite having another child but lately seem to have lapsed into bad habits, I am currently studying for a degree in midwifery so the stress of the course and shift work has been an excuse to eat badly and exercise less so I am back!!

    I go to circuit training twice a week and have recently started back at body pump so aiming for 2 classes of this a week too. I have reduced carbs in my diet and just trying to eat more healthily. I want to be fit not fat at 40 so it's got to be done.

    Would love to get down to 119lbs but think I will struggle to get that low. Anything below 126lbs (9 stone) would be good :)

    This is an amazing thread! I love seeing all of these astounding results!!! It gives me hope!

    I am 5'4" and am currently at 163. I started this go 'round at 170. My highest was about 190 a few years ago. My goal is 135, possibly 140, if I am toned and happy with how I look out of clothes. I am currently a size 8-10, but would love to be a perfect size 6. I am counting my calories with MFP and just started 30 Day Shred...

    I am tired of yo-yo dieting, which I have done since high school. I want to make this a lifestyle change. I HATE exercise, but do realize the benefits of it.

    Best of luck to all of you and I look forward to sharing goal pics one day!!!

    I fa within that 5'3" category. Doctor says I'm 5'3.5" anyways I'm currently 168lbs even though to me it doesn't seem like I'm that small. I look at picture of people maybe 3-5 lbs below or maybe higher and they look smaller than me but w.e. I started my weight loss journey in Sept.2012 at 203lbs. I'm currently doing Insanity and hoping to be my goal weight 140 sometime before summer is over. Logging my food, trying to eat healthier. Staying active. I jogged for maybe a week before all the rain and cold came back. It was nice though. Hmm. I suppose that's all.

    5' 3-3/4" SW on MFP early Feb 2013 was around 350. Current is just under 338, it's been bouncing a lot lately but hopefully will iron out and start heading down again! MFP goal is 175, but once I get there, I may shoot for 150. Best habits gained since MFP: water intake, more exercise and actually thinking about what I'm putting into my body. Have bad days but not as wreck-less as before , and it's the absolute longest time I've stuck with anything that had to do with trying to lose weight.

    Hello ladies! I am 5'2-5'3 (158 Sm) and currently 168 lbs. I am NOT petite in any way, just average sized, going on large.
    So far I've lost 32 lbs and although there is a huge difference in clothing sizes, most people don't note or notice my weight loss at all. And when looking at my progress pics i cant see it either. I believe the reason is that i lost those pounds with only a dieting and no exercise. So now i am focusing on strength and running and hoping for better results!

    I'm 5'3 and began in november 2012 at 183 lbs. I've hit yesterday the 20 lbs mark, and will hit in a few days (hopefully) the 10 kgs mark. Sadly, I do not really have any photos (I hate most pictures of myself). I'm looking to lose another 40 lbs in the coming year, I want to weigh 120 lbs by my 19th birthday (december, 30)
    Anyone can add me if you want, i try to be supportive ! :)

    I'm 5'3" I weigh 140 lbs and my goal weight is to get to 110-120 range! I want to work off all my weight quickly for this summer, but I also want to tone and define my muscles that I already have for sports and reasonings like that!
    Does anybody have any good advice on how to lose weight fast (30-45 days) and tone up in that time too? Workout videos, dieting suggestions?
    Anything will help! :)
    Thank you!

    I'm 5'3''....

    My weight 1 year back: 150lbs
    My weight now : 127lbs
    My goal weight : 120lbs

    I was on a 150lbs a year back and had tried out many weight loss programs and diet. But nothing worked for me and I was weary. I happened to see this video on youtube which was outstanding from other weight loss videos.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHVdHYeDHC0

    I learned from the video on how to eat in the right combinations including my favorite chocolates, cheese burgers and turn my body into a fat-burning mode (the video says :smile: ). I started following the video tips and advices and exercised at least 6 days a week. And yes it worked for me and I lost 23 lbs in a year. I'm still following my diet, eating out in the right way and doing normal exercises and giving a flip to my exercise once in 2 weeks, so that I'm not lazy in carrying out my exercise. I do cycling, swimming and will give a flip to some other work outs the coming week.

    And I know how hard it is to cross the plateau stage as I'm also in the same boat, but I strongly believe that we can break this ice burg if we restrict our calories from growing high from the current calorie count and better if we intake less calorie than the count we intake now.

    According to my body weight I can take a maximum of 1800calories a day. But now I don't lemme go upto this 1800 calories a day and maintain a less calorie count. But I don't have to give up any meal or even I do snacking in between every meal. What I do is I include in my each meal a combination of slow carbs, fast carbs and protein, so that my body doesn't store fat. I got all these awareness from the video I mentioned above.

    All the best dear. We can cross the plateau stage:smile:

    <<<<<<< Made goal weight then started eating what I calculated my TDEE was PLUS my fitbit adjustment. Walk 4 mph 5.5 miles or run 3 miles per day.

    Oh yeah, my diet consists of 95% unprocessed or refined foods. To be honest, I can not believe I look like this at almost 45 years old. I have been at it for 5.5 years, seeing a big improvement when I incorporated regular exercise 3 years ago but this body came about after I started eating clean 6 months ago. Ya'll can scream about all the scientific evidence you want, the way I look and feel is all the evidence I need to know I am doing the right thing for my body.

    5'2&3/4"

    previously lost 51 lbs from 189 down to 138. I looked great at goal weight and stayed like that for years. Maintenance wasn't really hard for me. I had lot's of physical therapy to go to since I was injured at the time, but really I've just always been a healthy eater who will eat healthy around 80% of the time anyways.
