    hey dont feel bad! you can do this! i started off at 158lbs last year (joined mfp when i got to 141lbs). keep logging and keep active! it WILL happen :)

    ''Our greatest weakness lies in giving up, The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time''

    i love this saying too as it worked well for me and hence why its in my ticker to always remind me! this time i wasnt going to give up! ive lost weight before and couldnt keep it off! but 5 months of maintainance and counting! if i can do it you can too!

    Feel free to add me. I'm 5'2 and started at 166 and am heading towards 120-125. I currently am at 154.5 and hoping to keep going at a steady pace. Making me a new person for Christmas. :)
    Like everyone say's , because we have little to loose it will take longer to get there but in the end it's worth it.

    Hi, I am losing about 1lb a week. going from 175 to 147 (5'10), it can be frustrating, but the way I see it is it will stay off doing it slowely. Plus atleast it IS coming off :-D ... keep up the good work!!

    I started at 178 but I am currently at around 152. I'm hoping to get somewhere between 135 and 125 - won't know until I get there!

    I'm 5'2 and @ my heaviest I was 160. I am now around 148 and it has been a slow battle and I am a extreme slacker . But this time I am determined to make it down to 120 . I fully understand where you are coming from!

    Feel free to add me and we can support each other on this journey :)

    I started at 165lbs, and currently 158lbs. I haven't lost anything since I started at the gym 2 weeks ago little :( I'm trying to accept the 'eat more' theory, so haven't accepted the 1200 mfp recommendation; rather, I have set it to 1700 (too high???) but it's so difficult! I'm exercising 5 days a week and trying to incorporate alot of weights, as heavy as I can go, but no change in the scale...
    sigh...slow and steady...

    Hello! I am right in this range. This is my 3rd attempt to lose the weight (attempt 1 about 5 years ago, and attempt 2 this spring both failed, though I worked so hard!) and this time I am determined not to give up.

    Feel free to add me - I would love to have friends in the same boat as me!

    Please add me!

    I don't have a scale now but last I weighed in the month of May I was 128 to 130.

    We traveled since then and so after weighing in May I must have put on over 20 pounds during the summer months.

    Since the first of september I have lost over 3 inches from my waist and gone down at least a size in pants

    so I can pretty safely say I have lost 15 pounds since getting consiousness back and recovering from just eating whatever I wanted

    up to 2500 cals a day over the summer.

    I'm 5'7" and feel so much better when I am at 130 or less.

    Wishing you all the best in your coming up shrinking weeks!

    I've been stuck at 150 FOR-EVER! Would love to get to 135... heck, I'll even take 140 or 145.

    How many calories are you all **NETTING**? I'm interested in your NETS only since TDEE varies from person to person.

    MFP assigned me 1430 NET to lose .5/lb a week. This is slightly above my BMR. So pretty much I eat my BMR plus exercise calories back (since my exercise might not always be the same each day).

    I'm curious to see how much everyone who went from 150-130 is eating. Thanks!

    Hi. I'm similar to a lot of people in the thread; anyone can feel free to add me! I'm 5'3 and started at 154. I'm down to 140 now, aiming for 130. I eat around 1800-2000 calories a day. (That's not net though, I do use the TDEE method)

    I started at 162 and my goal is 124 - I have been up and down from 128-133 for weeks. I also struggled from 137-133 for many weeks, so I am not going to stress About it, because I am confident that if I keep doing what I am doing, I will eventually get there

    This is an OLD post - lol - I got down to 127 and held that for quite a while and then got lazy, stopped logging and exercising and went back up to 144! Here I am again - started back up in February and lost #13 - down to the last few - feel free to add me!

    I'm currently 152.8 pounds and am 5' 8". I want to get to 140 maybe 135. I've lost 70.2 pounds already. It is coming off more slowly now but I knew that time would come.

    I'm trying to go from 155-138. It's amazing how hard it is! I did really well for the first 5 pounds (from 160), but then got too excited by my success and started loosening up my dieting. I'm going to re-commit for Monday. I want to be 145 by Christmas.

    I'm 5'4". Started at 154lb in March and am 137lb. 140 was a long plateau for me until I switched my deficit to 0.5lb per week. I net around 1500. I am trying to get to 130-135. It is very slow going. Feel free to add me. I share my diary.

    5'8" going from 152 to 135. Seems to be going well. Since we're already "thin", it seems like it's a little more effort. You have to maintain the proper calorie deficit. Even a day or two of ungoverned eating can throw you off for the week.

    It is tough, I did it about 2 years ago and then gained it back. I am committing to get back down again, felt so good!

    I'm 5'3'' and at 130 now, I've been stuck there for like 3 weeks. However, last weekend it was Canadian thanksgiving so there was lots of eating a drinking during the weekend but still, it's annoying. I just keep telling myself if you keep going you'll start losing again eventually but if you give up you'll never lose it.
