    Almost weight loss twins! I am 5'5" as well, but started (on here) around 241. I am down a little over 25, I think 21 since I started MFP. I too have started to get a little lazy and life has kept me from being able to work as hard but today I started my work out routine again and am excited to reach my long term goal of losing over 100 lbs to get down to 140!! Anyone can add me :)

    I'm 5'5 and 212!!! But that's my weight after six months of hard work. My start weight was 257. Feel free to add me if that doesn't "disqualify" me.

    i was recently at my heaviest ever at 5'5 (and a half lol) and 205lbs... im finally back under 200!! not by much and i want to keep getting down.. at my goal and healthy target weight i was 145... i lost 40 lbs to reach that goal until i had a lot of really hard family issues and i ate the weight all back on and then some.. MFP is my crutch right now i depend on it for support and accountability because i want to get back to my goal and stay there for good.. i am always looking for more friends to help motivate each other and stay on track! anyone on this thread pls feel free to add me :)

    I'm 5'5" and started off at 232# a little over a year ago. Went down to 194 in 6 months. I'm currently back up to 211 and working my way back down slowly.

    I am 5'5" and started right at 212. I am down 6 pounds in 22 days. I am trying to make better food choices and track calories daily...lifestyle changes that I can stick to for good, rather than some fad diet that I know I won't stick to long term. I gave up Diet Sodas 2 months ago and replaced them with water or unsweetened tea - I immediately noticed that my cravings for sweets went way down after giving up the diet sodas. And I have not had anything fried in more than a month...those were the 2 big hurdles for me. I have cut way back on carbs. I have made healthier choices for snacks, if I have a snack. Good luck reaching your goal!!
