    I'm 5'1 ...I started last Monday at 156 lbs and have lost about 6-7 lbs so far.

    I've been out of shape and haven't worked out in years (since HS) but the last 12 months I put on about 30 lbs of that 156! So I have a ways to go too. I know it's going to take me about 8-12 months to get to where I want to be. I'm pretty lazy, love beer and wine, and hate working out :) So I'll help keep you motivated if you help keep me motivated! :) Good luck in your journey!!

    5'1". Would like to lose 50lbs but even 30 would be good. 50 lbs would get me to my weight at 28 years lid so I think its still reasonable.

    5'4, started out Feb 2013 at 295lbs, by my 1yr ann I had 100lbs gone, I now sit at 105lbs gone (just had hernia surgery mid March so I've been on a stand still, 6wk post op is only days away!). I still have 40lbs to go but you are welcome to add me. I log daily, today is day 460 for me. Good luck with your journey, its hard but its worth it!

    I'm 5ft1 and would like to lose about 50lbs so 43lbs now. Being short is such a challenge, my cals are only 1200 to only be on 1lb loss and that is going to be even lower as i lose :frown: I am tempted to put myself down to ½lb a week so I can eat 1400 cals plus exercise cals on weeks when I can't do loads of exercise but that means goal will take forever!

    I have more to lose than 80. Have you thought about resistance training? Adding that to your routine can help with your weight loss.
