I have about 6-7lbs before I'm at a normal BMI and I have 16.2lbs until I am at my tentative goal weight.

Anybody with similar numbers to lose? Maybe we can start a thread for those of us trying to lose 20lbs or less :)

    Hi. I am wanting an ultimate goal of 20 pounds down, but will be so happy if I can lose 10 pounds. That will make the waist in my pants feel so much better and hopefully my waist will stop jiggling. Gross! Good luck.

    Yes 10 would be wonderful! I'm 5'4" at currently at 142. I started close to 150 and went down to 135 and now it's creeping back on. 128 is my ultimate goal! I just seem to have lost my resolve over the past 6 or so months.

    Oh yeah...ignore the little ticker. I haven't entered any of my weight since I started because I like seeing that I've lost *something*!!!

    We should start a thread :)

    Also let me add that I am 5 foot even so 136.2lbs does not sit well on my short body!!

    I am 5'8" and now 160 lbs. My goal weight is 145. I already lost 20 pounds in the last 3 months, but I bet those last 15 will be much harder to remove. :S

    Good luck with your 5K run......I ran my first one 3 yrs ago.....and my last one in March 2010. I am alos 5' nothing and shrinking as I get older. I actually gained weight when I started running and working out. I felt and looked my best at 135 pds. So 20 is the magic # :bigsmile:

    I'm in! I have been on MFP for a couple months now but I haven't been committing as seriously to the weight loss process as I should. I'm really bad about giving into the cravings and eating more junk then I should, and the scale is reflecting that loss of dedication by not going down as quickly as it could. I hope that this will motivate me to keep on the right track so I'll see results! My current weight is 145 and I would ideally like to reach 130, but I would be extremely happy with 135.

    I am 153lb and would be extremely happy with 20lbs. I am 5'3". Just turning 46years old next month. The only way I find I can do it if I jump start the cardio. I found a really neat place to hike and I will do that at the once a week. It gets dark at 5:00pm so I will have to do my treadmill during the week when I work. I am having a hard time getting any weight off.

    Hi everyone! I'd like to jump in on this too! I just turned 50 (can I say that?) and want to lose 8 more pounds. I'm 5'3" so every pound tends to show up on me. If you get a thread started, I'd love to join it!
