    Ugh...
    Going back to the chiropractor today. Woke up with my back hurting. I think it may be my desk chair. This sucks. I'm taking an extra break from JM 30DS.

    I just wanted to say that we are the same exact height and weight! My goal is a little different though. I am hoping to weigh around 100-105 since I am so short. I weighed 120ish before I got pregnant with my daughter and I thought I was kinda chunky. Just my personal opionion of myself. I can tell you are losing weight by the pictures and you are looking great. Keep up the good work.
    Sending a friend request :)

    this is like the short girls thread! love it

    i'm so fascinated by people's stories and goals on here. i'm 5ft and my goal is get down from 143 to around 125-120. i'm trying to be realistic in my goal and the timeframe i want to achieve it by (july 2011). maybe after i meet it i will set up another one. when i was in my mid 120's i was thrilled with how i looked and more importantly how i felt energy-wise.

    good luck ladies! keep up the awesome work.

    Hi, kudos to you. Keep the faith and it will happen. I am in my early 60's, 5 ft tall or less half an inch. Six weeks ago I weighed myself and gasped seeing that I had inched my way up to 131 pounds. Up until I quit smoking 3 years ago, I averaged 116-118 pounds.
    Since then the weight has slowly but surely gone up. I was ok with being 125 to 128. But, when I saw 131 (naked), I almost died. That's when I put the brakes on seriously and was determined to get down to at least 120-121. Cause after all, when you are older, you can't get too thin. It just makes you look that much older.

    I found www.caloriecounter.com and started using the free journal which was terrific. Todate, I have lost 10 pounds by recording everything I eat accurately. I even record my own recipes. I also doubled up on my workouts. 5 workouts a week. Three zumba and 2 pilates.
    I still want to lose another pound or two and then I'll maintain (hopefully).

    Why am I telling you all this? Cause if an old woman like me can do it, you can definitely rock it! Congratulations to your success, cause I know you will.

    hi prila :) thank you for sharing your story! you're definitely an inspiration and proof that consistency pays off. I'm also trying to get down to 115 and am 5'1", I've weighed the most at 139 thanks to eating junk during college and not caring one bit about my health - time to change! I was tired of looking at myself and feeling disgusted, and having uncontrollable urges to eat. Thanks to MFP I know we can win this and win our bodies back, good luck :)

    I'm definitely back to trying to stick to my exercise program. Going back to work really through a loop into my schedule. I'm not able to exercise 5 days a week like I was but I am definitely trying to stick to staying under my calories. Since I work in fast food, I get plenty of exercise but on my off days, I'm trying to work in at least 30 mins of walking per day. I haven't lost any weight but hopefully that will change soon.

    I hope you all are doing well and I hope to have some progress to share soon.

    Thank you all!
    In case some of you haven't heard, (Even though it's been on national news because my friend in Alaska knew about it before I was able to tell her), we here in North Alabama were hit hard (along with part of MS and GA) by several tornadoes on 4/27. So, that is why I haven't been on in the past few days. It roared through here and destroyed a neighboring town. Thank goodness we live on the outskirts and we only lost power and had some trees blown down. We just got power back last night. And thank goodness my dad has a generator so we didn't lose anything in our fridge and freezer.
    But, I hope thinks are going great with all of you.

    Good luck! You'll get there before you know it=0) There is such a huge support here! And don't beat yourself up if you have an "off" day.

    I love reading your story thus far! We are of similar heights/weights. I'm slightly taller (5'3") and I started at a heavier weight (144). My ultimate goal is 115 as well. I haven't been that weight for 10+ years! I REALLY miss it. I started my weight loss journey just 3 weeks ago and I have lost 4 lbs so far. Good Luck! I look forward to reading and seeing more!

    UGH! Since starting work a little over a month ago, I've gained back almost 6 lbs! Though, I'm not seeing a change in the weight loss in my belly but I have noticed I have more definition in my muscles in my arms and thighs. So, maybe, just maybe, that muscle is causing my weight gain. On a daily basis, several times a day, I'm picking up things that are 20+ lbs. Plus the fry and chicken baskets. So, let's hope that's what it is. But, I'm starting to get back into walking at least 20 mins per day and my chiropractor says I can do about half the 30DS but no situps yet. (He doesn't want me to strain my back any more than I have to.) So, we'll see what happens... I just want to be swin suit ready by summer.

    Til next time...

    My goal weight is 115 as well!! I started out at 131. its so difficult to lose even just a pound because I'm technically in the healthy range for my height (I'm 5'3") but its at the high end. and I want to be in the middle and not be so worn out walking around campus. Now though I'm not so worried about numbers - unless they are in inches! I've seen a lot more of a change since I started measuring around my calves, thighs, hips, waist and chest. Its also a great motivator. :) Good luck on your journey!
