    Hi :) I am 5'4 (almost 5'5) and I am 175. I am wanting to get down to,at most, 140. Feel free to add me. Maybe we could help each other since we have similar goals. My goal on my profile is 135.

    Hi, I'm currently at 177 from 185 and 5'3", I'm looking to get down to 140. My weight loss so far has been attributed to only dieting but I would like to eventually add some exercise. Right now I am just adjusting to the lower calories.

    Well I was at 152 and I'm down to 135 and I'm 5'5. I was not happy with the way my clothes fit or more so how I looked. I work a ton of hours often many of them at a desk. I skipped meals a lot because I was busy or didnt bring anything. I always said I dont have time to workout but started out small. I was walking after work and dinner as many nights a week as possible. Any amount of time was good because I wasnt sitting so it made me feel good to be active. I walked or rode bikes with my 9 yr old and told him we needed to be healthier. I started tracking my steps with my iphone app and switched to a Fitbit. I also used the Mapmyride app. Anything to give me motivation. I have been using MFP tracking my calories which can be a pain sometimes but nothing worth winning is easy. I was faithful for 23 days of tracking and didnt have time or ability over a weekend away from home, so I got back on track after I got home. Life happens. Oh yeah make sure you take measurements. Its a lot more likely you we see results in clothing fit and not just weight loss on the scale. You can do it!

    Feel free to add me. I am 5'6' and started at 164. I have been using MFP for 3 months and have reached 144 this morning. My goal is 135 and I have an open diary. It will be slow going to my goal, sometimes I lose nothing for a few weeks. But I am in no rush. Maybe by the Fall.

    I'm 5'3 and started at 177lbs, I have lost 3lb since I started watching my calories and working out. My goal weight is 135-140 and I hope to get there by Dec. I want to go into the year healthy and smaller lol. I am at my heaviest (not pregnant) and I'm ready for change. Sometime I need a little push which is why I started mfp. There are a lot of positive ppl that ive come across. Aside from watching my caloric intake I ride my bike 3-4times a week for 1hr and I use another app Skimble (highly recommended) for at home workouts.
