in Motivation and Support
Seeing if anyone out there has my same goals and wants to friend me! I haven't opened up to anyone but a few "real life" friends on here and a handful of others...but could use the support....I give good encouragement back!

I was at 145 when I stepped on the scale back in December and wanted to faint. I am only 5'3" and was never that heavy. Finally got back in the 130's. My 20 year hs reunion is in June and I need to get back to my college hotness (I say college, because I was 140 my sr year of hs-but only 120 in college)....

    I'm 5' nothing, and 140 lbs. aiming for around 120 ish.

    right now I'm struggling having lost nothing over the last 10 weeks despite exercising more and eating better, so I'm bowing to the wisdom of others here and bumping my calories up from MFP's 1200 to 1380 to see if that does something.

    Feel free to friend me and we can chase away the lbs.....

    I'm 5'3" and 140 pounds. The lowest i got to last year was 126 for my sisters wedding but put it straight back on. I wouldn't mind losing half a stone by summer!

    I started my journey on MFP at 144. I'd love to get to 115, but I set my goal at 120 because I would be happy with that. I'm turning 50 this year and really want to get back to my mid-40's body. I'm only 5"2, so every bit I gain shows. Too bad it doesn't come off as easy as it went on. :ohwell:

    I'm in the 150's, trying to get to 125 or so. It's really hard, but totally worth it in the end. Best of luck!

    I'm also 5'3" and I started at 140. I'm now 136 and trying to get into my 120's. And funnily enough, my 10 yr high school reunion is this year.

    It's a slow battle but I'm finally doing something about it. I'm already a lot stronger and my cardio endurance is WAY up (Thanks Jillian!)

    We'll get there, I believe in us :D

    Let me just say that yes I fit this, but having started at 174 (and actually my high weight was in the 180s) it is CRAZY to me that i fit in this category. 141 currently, trying for 125-130 ish

    I'm 5'6'' and currently 128. I started at 145 with a goal of 125. I am working on the last few pounds and toning everything up so I've been right where you are.

    Feel free to friend me if you like. :)

    That me! I love being 119 for the brief time I was there, but strangers thought that I had Aides and was dieting.

    On the bright side - 125- 129 is fine with me, but it always seems to turn into 140 again. Maybe I should try the low 130's. I am at 142 now +1, but I do feel better with the cardio.

    Look forward being MFP

    I'm just getting started on this. I started having serious issues with my thyroid last fall, have inched up the scale from around 135 to 146...now that I think I've gotten my meds right, it's time to shed those unwanted pounds! I'm 5'7" and this is day 2...my goal is to be down to 133 by my birthday, June 2nd. I'm really excited about this site and the calorie and exercise counting tools....I'm counting everything, on both counts...praying for awesome results....trip to the gulf coast planned for mid July, I'd love to feel good enough to wear a bikini (top at least, even if I still wear my swim shorts on the bottom). My final goal would be to be in the mid 120s...I like to focus on my short term goals though as those seem more attainable. Good luck, friends!

    Word of encouragement: If you find yourself thinking that you "deserve" that treat, instead remind yourself how much more you DESERVE to look and feel great in your own skin :wink:
