5'1" and 165 lbs

@JessekaKing

I'm exactly the same height as you, and at 162. Looking to lose about the same as you. I've come to love running this year, and I'm also a newly wed. I work more than full time, love margaritas (though I've converted to gin and tonics lately) and agree that admitting I'm human is only going to help with my weight loss as there are going to be bumps and plateaus. Friend me?

I started at 5'1" and 173 !!! add me anyone

Hello Jesse
* I am 4'11" and 135-140 I hate my scale.
* I too have come to love running this summer.
* Not looking forward to winter either, doesn't get as cold as you said but we do have our cold days.
* And I love sitting back relaxing with a glass of home made wine,
* I am planning on doing my first 5k in October. Keep up your good work and I would like to have some help in the motivation area also

Hi There, I'm a bit shorter than you, 4'10", 162 right now but want to get to 130 or 125 would be great! Feel free to add me!

I'm 5'3 and weighed in last week at 146. I'm pretty sure tomorrow will show a gain though.

Like you, I'm human and have my bad relationships with food...mostly sweets. Work full-time. Single mama to 2 human babies. After a reality check with my boyfriend, I'm trying to turn this negative energy I've found into something better for me. I know I can do this. I just need to keep at it and don't give up at any cost.

Feel free to add me!! :bigsmile:

I'm 5'5 and started running for weight loss. The closer I got to my goals the more I realized I didn't have a "skinny" me in my head, but fit. I realized I wanted those fit arms, back and finally a flat stomach. As I was asking around here at MFP I was told weights would get me closer to my goals. Since I started doing the Jillian michaels ripped in 30 with heavier weights than im used to I've lost 3 ish pounds. I started at 143 and was hovering there for months. I'm now at 138 last I checked. My upper body so much more toned. So what I've learned that if it isn't hard, you're not doing it heavy or hard enough. I still run on my "off" days but find I'm better with endurance because of my dear sweet Jillian:) oh and ouch:). I now work out appx 5-6 days a week and walk every day when the weathers nice.

Hi everyone. I'm Carmon (AKA Crazy C). I am barely 5 ft on a GOOD hair day. Thus, fun sized/vertically challenged. I have lost 27 lbs on here since Feb 17th (started exercising) & Feb 21st logging food. However, I lost approximately 10+ lbs before that due to have a very bad case of the flu which led to bronchitis in mid Dec to Jan. currently I weight 170 but would like to get back to 120- 130 where I was when I was eating healthy and staying active prior to my two pregnancies and babies, whom are now 6 & 4. Feel free to add me with a msg so I know who you are. Thanks. I look forward to supporting and motivating everyone and getting it back. GL to us all.

Hey im 5ft1 and weigh 164lbs my goal is 120lbs, I've lost 116lb since January i do alot of classes and free weights, feel free to add me ????

Hey!!!
I am 5'2, 166 lbs as of today! I started this journey 54 lbs heavier, almost a yr ago. I am married, we have 3 kids, and I am 24 yrs old. My husband and I quit smoking almost 2 yrs ago, which is when I went from 160 to 220 UGH!! Thankfully I did not pick up the habit again, as all of my children, husband, and myself are sooo much healthier now! We never get colds, or congestion, while we used to live every day with it. Instead, I started eating low carb and exercising. When I lost 35 lbs, I hit a plateau and became discouraged for about 3 months I hovered between 180 and 190. Then I changed my exercising routines, and started focusing more on my calorie intake vs my carbs (altho I still keep an eye on them too). Lately I have started doing some weight lifting with dumbbells and I feel so much stronger and can see such a difference in the way that my clothes fit just in the six weeks or so I have been doing it. Eventually I want to purchase a barbell, as I do ALL of my exercises at home, except Zumba classes, but for now I will stick with what I have got. I do Zumba once or twice a week for one hour at a time, and I do different videos that incorporate strength and cardio the rest of the days. I usually have one rest day a week. I love Jessica Smith's workout videos, they can be found on youtube: Jessica Smith TV. She is great and has 100's of videos available so you don't get bored. I want to do the 30DS by Jillian Michaels, but I find it soo hard to stay with the same thing day in and day out, but I have seen so many ppl on this sight have such great results!! Maybe one day!


Anyway, thats my story! Add me :flowerforyou:
