Anyone who is around 5'9 and 155-160 looking to lose around 20lbs?
I would love to have a partner with similar stats to share this journey with........... I am 30, and mom of two boys, 12 and 5, work part-time, have supportive husband (as long as its verbal support only, lol) and have been trying to do it for a while......

My goal is to lose 20lb by end of may (5lb per month) for our summer vacation this year. I know its totally doable, just need motivation to stay focused :yawn:

    Hey ontrac, I want to tell you you can do this! I'm 5'9" and started here 8/22 at 157.7. 21 lbs. later I'm at 136.6 and only 1.6 lbs. away from my goal of 135. I'm 47 with 2 teenage boys and a husband who is NOT supportive (doughnuts, Friday night fun foods, etc.) so I'm here to tell you if I can do this-you can too! The key is be really honest with how much you eat (measure, measure, measure) and log it. It's hard to ignore the black and white staring you in the face. Good luck!

    I'm 5'8 and would like to get to 147 before my hol in 8 weeks ( currently 149.5), but 140 would be an ideal target for me!

    I am 5'8" and currently 155 with a goal of 140. Your goal of 5 lbs a month is very reasonable and smart. I am shooting for the end of April for my anniversary. I used this site several years ago to drop from 182 to 140, so it is possible. I just had knee surgery and gained a few back. I'm 35. No kids, but a very supportive husband. Feel free to friend me! And good luck!

    I'm 5'8" and my current weight is 158 and I would like to weigh 135-140. I was stuck in the 160s for the longest time and now I'm stuck in the 150s! It would be great to drop another 10 lbs :)
