Women - around 5'3 and 165 lbs

Anyone can feel free to add me too 5'3", started at 189, currently hovering around 172, goal weight is 140. Hoping to be in the 160s by the end of March!

I'm in this club 5' 3.5", and currently hovering between 162-163. Right now I'm just trying to count calories and force myself to exercise at least a few times a week. Nothing drastic. I am eating healthier though too, b/c I found highly processed foods (or really just pre-made foods) made me hungrier after eating them, even though they were generally higher in calories to begin with. I haven't cut them out completely, but I no longer sit down with a bag of chips. In fact I don't have chips in the apartment anymore.

I also eat breakfast now every day. Sometimes I used to skip, partly b/c I get up at 7-8am and had to be at work by 9am latest and partly b/c I used to eat really late which always made me feel full when I woke up, and ravenous around 11. I don't generally eat a big breakfast (250-300 calories usually including coffee) but for me it's the perfect portion size b/c I always want to eat more at lunch/dinner.

I'm 26yo, 5'3" and about 160lbs. Just getting back on the wagon after gaining some weight this last year. I'm aiming for my high school/college weight of 140lbs, and any motivation would be awesome!

Hi! If people are still adding people I'm up for it. :P

I'm 5'2" and about 165 pounds (unless my scale needs a new battery, in which case add ten pounds). I started on this site this week because the one I used to use forever ago has been absorbed and ruined (also broken) by a horrible website.

I'm currently just watching what I eat (and finding out why metabolism is so low), and playing Zumba on the Wii. Once I get a better grip on things and the snow finally leaves (shout-out to anyone else with SAD), I think I'd like to start running. I used to belong to Goodlife back when I could afford it, and it was really motivational (once I got there).

My advice: make sure whatever you're doing is fun, keep the same excitement level you started with, and if you're looking for a gym find one with a sauna, because oh my god it's worth it.

Good luck to you, and to us all!

Nice to have a group at similar stage, will add some of you to help us get to goal! I started at 211 in September, now at 174 through calorie counting and new found love of exercise! Never thought I would ever say that???? please feel free to add me!
