    I am 5'4" and currently weigh 150-ish (haven't weighed myself in a while). My first goal is to get to 130, then re-evaluate. Super aggressively I would like to see 120, but not sure if that's possible without being completely miserable. I haven't weighed 120 since I was 20.

    Is it realistic to have a goal of "I want to weigh what I did in high school?" I feel like our bodies change a lot between high school and age 30 - to the point it might not be realistic.

    @1234crazycat - It sounds like you're off to a great start. As far as ideal weight...that has been a tough goal for me, because I carry my weight a lot differently than others (so I'm told). So, with that, I suppose my advice and a bit of encouragement is to be yourself, realize your goals are for you, and don't compare yourself to others. We are all different, and 150 on me will look totally different than 150 on someone else my height.
    and...Baby steps.:wink:
    Don't burn yourself out, and be patient with your body.

    I'm new within the last 4 days. I seem to have lost myself. she's not in the mirror anymore. I'm 5'5 and currently 159lbs. Looking to lose at least 25lbs. My husband says he doesn't think I should go below 145 but any research I've done says I should be 130-135lbs. That's what I will aim for with a healthy start. Looking for some other women who may be going through the same ups and downs as I am. My husband and 2 daughters(11&13) are getting tired of hearing about my goals and excitement. I have been doing aerobics for an hour every morning and plan on continuing everyday as long as the day allows. I have to say in the short 4 days of watching what I eat and moving it I feel like I have more energy and sleep better already.
    So anyone wanting to share or need a little motivation I am a willing ear. :)

    I'm 5'3' and my current weight is 131. I'm looking to get back down to 120. I got lazy last year and put on some weight. I'm new here and I'm hoping to get back at it this year and lose some weight and tone up. Feel free to add me.

    I am 5'2", 51 years old and currently weigh 145. I'd love to be down to 120-125. In 2011, I got down to 130, but since I was doing P90X, I was in a size 4. It really isn't about what the scale says, it's about how I feel about myself and being healthy and toned.

    I hope to be able to lose 40 lbs by September. I am 175 lbs today with fluctuating weight loss and gain in the past years. Hope to be able to lose it and maintain it this time.

    I have spent most of my adult life in the 150s, but gained a significant amount of weight over the last couple years with a new career. I started at 178, currently weigh 172 and looking forward to ultimately weighing 125, roughly. Would love some support! :)
