5'1" and 165 lbs

Hi! I am currently 5'2 and 165.4 lbs. I started my weight loss journey a month ago after my husband had weight loss surgery due to health complications, of which, he has already lost 50 plus pounds! I just turned 29, and he is 33. Married for 5 years and we have 3 children. His weight loss motivated myself to shed some lbs! I started off at 188...which was my heaviest. I have managed to loose 23lbs thus far just by watching calories. I try and stay within 1,000-1,200 calorie diet. I've completely sworn away pop and drink mainly water or skim milk. In my dream world, I would LOVE to get down to my pre pregnancy weight of 126...however would totally settle and be extremely thrilled to get down to 135ish. I work 40 hours a week and have a desk job so exercise is pretty much non existent. It looks like from reviewing this board we all have somewhat similar goals! Anyone feel free to add me. Encouragement is defiantly our friend!!

Hi, is this still open?
I am at 146.6 lb, 5ft. Looking to reach 125-130, 135 if toned. Glad to find the board!

I am 5' and 52 years old. I have been doing MFP for over a year. I spin 3 times a week and have recently added Pure Barre 2 times a week this month. I have only lost 6 pounds and it can be discouraging, but I am convinced that without keeping track I would weigh more than 157. It is great to hear that there are others petites who have the same issue. I will say that the Pure Barre is 'hard as hell' but I already see results in the way my clothes fit. Keep moving and keep track on MFP. You are young and upbeat so I am sure you'll start to see results soon! Question for those who are having success. Do you eat all of your calories with exercise?

I rarely eat all my exercise calories because I think mfp estimates are generally high. A HRM will give you the most accurate reading of calories burned. I strive to eat no more than half of my exercise calories though.

Hi there. I am 5'3" and 172 right now. I have gotten into running and I want to start lifting as soon as I get up the courage go in the weight room. I would like to get down to 120. I am really focusing right now on getting to 140 by my birthday in August. I need to step it up because I haven't made the best food choices lately and I continue to let the cold weather be an excuse for not working out (even though I work at a gym. Sad, I know). I am down for new friends and support. Feel free to add me if you'd like

Im 5' 2'' and 162.9 this morning, Started at 183 in May... so Im feeling pretty good about how far I have come so far. But of course in the beginning it was a little easier as I would see the scale move quicker I am newly married.. (2 weeks ago) and have 2 step children (9 and 11 boys). We would love to have a child of our own as well (either birth or adoption). I am really trying to spend some time on ME first, mentally and physically. My goal is to reach 150 by by birthday in October, and then I would love to be 140 by the end of the year. I have found setting small goals has really motivated me. I really would LOVE to be 130 by the end of the year.. but I think 140 is more attainable! Oh I also eat a gluten and dairy free diet, so thats a little more challenging and I am really tying to deal with that as it is new for me. Feel free to add me

hi! 5'1 here, and weigh 148lbs. my goal is 125 lbs. my biggest enemy is white rice, i really eat it big time.

I'm 5ft 1/2". At my heaviest I was around 230lbs. I'm currently 151 lbs hoping to get to 120 :-(. A girl can dream, right? lol. Feel free to add me.

Hi! I'm 5'1 and between 150 and 148- my scale's on it's last leg, so I guess at some point I'm going to need to get one that works

If you're looking for an indoor exercise method (I live in Houston where it's typically too hot to work out outdoors, so sort of the opposite of your problem) I am seriously loving my recumbent bike! I also had some pretty good results from jumping rope indoors in the past.

I'm 5'1'' and about 150 right now, but I started at 180, and my goal is the same as yours - 130! (: I rely on walking for exercise, although I also swim, bike, and play Dance Dance Revolution.

Very similar stats! If you ignore the fact that I'm 1/2 inch shorter :-).

Mfp is seriously helping me!!

I am also 5'1". I started my journey after the birth of my second child, at 209lbs. I got down to 162lbs, however, I recently had our third baby and due to a thyroid issue i gained a lot of weight. I restarted my attempt at 190lbs a little over a week go. I am now down to 186lbs.

My biggest goal is 130lbs as well, then ill work on being lean and tone. I wouldn't mind being down to 110-120lbs though because i am quite a small and petite frame.

I am on MFP for the community. However, I utilize weight watchers online bc that is what works for me.
So glad for this thread! anyone have any before and after photos, so far?

feel free to add me!
