Today is my day 1 and I am looking for people with a similiar goal. I am 5'3 and 161. My goal weight is 130-135. I am also hoping to start training for a 5K in May and would like to beat my running time from last year! I plan to run 2-3 days a week and hit the gym 2-3 days a week for cardio and strength training.

    Hi! We have similar goals, I am 5'3" and weigh 155, my goal weight is 130! I also love running and getting out to the gym but find it challenging, working full time and being a single Mom!

    Well I'm not as light as you but 20 to 25 pounds is what I'm shooting for. I put on weight after an injury I caused to myself after a half-marathon and a lot of decompression from a deployment in Afghanistan. I recently bought Kinetc Your Shape for Xbox and it helps keep me motivated and doing aerobics for cardio on days when I can't go run. I just got back from a two mile run at 17:50... which isn't bad considering where I am and my last tested two mile run was a full minute under that time.

    My goal is to drop at least ten pounds before mid-February, not exactly healthy but I have to get ready for a trip. After that it'll be a slow progression and maintenance towards my goal.

    Best of luck to you

    While I'm taller than you, I've already lost 25 lbs and want to get around the 130lb range as my final goal. I am also a runner (my half marathon is in two weeks!!!). Add me as a friend and I'll help you along the way. Best of luck!

    Your weight loss goal is very similar to mine. I started October 18, 2010 at 153 and today I am at 136 working toward a goal of 130. This is a great site and it's so easy to keep up with calorie intake. Good luck!
