    Meant to actually say something there lol. I'm 46 years old, five three and 120 pounds. I log absolutely everything and work out 3 times a week. I work a desk job and enjoy going out dancing when I get a chance. I started off at about 152 lb last March and reached my goal this weekend.

    This is my first time posting a photo - hope it works :)
    I started at 244, 5'2" and in this photo I am around 152 (currently 149) my goal is 144. It has been a little over 2 years of managing my eating and working out primarily doing cardio and recently adding strength training.
    Keep working at it, it will happen.

    Taking it one day at a time!! I started roughly at 322 pounds and now I'm down to 225! I've learned a lot on this journey and I'm still learning something new all the time. I allow myself to cheat and not feel guilty. I've found that low carb eating works best for me. I avoid pasta and sugar.

    SW 220 CW 155. My first time around May 2013, I logged and counted calories, exercised hard and at first the weight came off fast, but than it stopped. I got discouraged and quit until June of this year. I decided to change my relationship with food and not worry about counting calories. I eat when I am hungry in smaller portions (i use a saucer instead of a regular size plate). If i have a craving, i indulge that way i dont feel deprived and i am not going to go on a crazy high cal binge. I exercise 6-7 days a week doing cardio and strength training.

    Lost 56lbs since starting MFP. Still another 30-40lbs to go. I'll see how I feel when I'm there!
    I'm actually really, really lazy so my exercise is pretty much non existent! I started off on 1,200 calories for the first 3 months and for the last 2 have been on 1,400.
    Will gradually work it up to about 1,800.
    I'm 5'4, started off at 225lbs but I guess I was more like 250+ at the time of that picture!

    Quite a while ago at my heaviest (over 200 pounds at 5'4") in the blue shirt:

    A few weeks ago on a business trip to Austin at 130 pounds:
    035d6f1e265880f52c5f3d0fcf0e5ca7bdc6.jpg

    I did it through accountability (making damn sure I logged what I was eating, even if I didn't want to admit it... LOL!), and at the beginning of this year I added exercise. I love to run, and just started weight lifting. I'm pretty happy with where I am - I'm currently in small tops and a size 4 pants.

    You've got this, honey. Just log honestly and be consistent. The weight will come off. And like another poster said, it wasn't put on overnight and won't come off over night. Just keep at it. I'm 35, have had 2 kids (they are 13 and 10), and work a desk job. It took me more than 2 years to shed 70 pounds, but if I can do it, anyone can. :flowerforyou:

    What type of weight lifting do you do? I am a single mom work full time desk job, and have absolutely no way to excercise except at home. (My son has alot of auto immune issues and he is too big for a jogging stroller.)
