in Motivation and Support
Hey,

I'm 5'3'' and weigh 171 lbs. My goal weight is 115 - 120 lbs. I was wondering if anyone has similar goals as I do. Sometimes the end goal seems so far away and almost impossible to grasp... been feeling really uneasy about this entire journey. Maybe if I see that more people are in the same boat as I am, we can help motivate each other.

Cheers.

    I'm 5'5" and weigh 79kg (155lbs). My goal is 55kg (120lbs). I've always been that type that gets heaps of motivation & then all of a sudden dissipates/ So I'm here to help & motivate if you'll do the same!!

    Well, my goals were quite similar when I got here. I'm 5'2", and weighed about 175. My original goal was 125. When I got there I lowered it 5 more pounds. Now trying to maintain. Fell halfway off the wagon over the holidays, but hoping I'm back on track now.

    I'm 5'4'' with about 70 pounds to lose (and possibly more, but want to see what that looks like). I did really well in 2012. Had a life changing event January of 2013 and by June of 2013 had put the entire 45 pounds I lost back on, plus a little more. I started again yesterday. We can do this!

    Hey all!

    This is me, too. I'm 5'4" at 194lbs. First goal - 140lbs. Second - 130lbs & go from there. One thing that I'm also seeking, is someone that's primarily doing calorie counting only versus being very exercise active. If this sounds like you too, please feel free to add me!

    I am 5'3" at 171 lbs as well. My goal is not so lofty to start with. I am shooting for 145lbs by May. I eat a lot of high carb foods and sugar so my first step is cutting those down significantly and exercising consistently. 3 miles a day or 30 mins of exercise, daily!! no excuses.. its day 7. working so far.

    5'0", currently 165, trying to get to 115. I lose weight slowly so it's going to take me a full year to lose 50 lbs. I have yet to last a full year without letting myself get completely off track. 2015's the year I don't let anything get in the way and I finish this once and for all!

    I'm 5'2" and I used to weight about 150 and I'm currently down to 115. It took me about a year and a half but I did it. Now I'm just trying to tone with weight training. It was a lot of hard work, willpower, and dedication but it can be done.

    I'm 5'2" and currently 165. I started doing this at 248 lbs so it's definitely something that can be done. I'm aiming for 136 to get a BMI of 24.9, then we'll see what happens from there. I have another 1.4 lbs until I became "overweight." :D Anyone can add me.

    5'4" here and I'm about 150. Goal weight is around 130. Trainer said that was a LOT to shed in the next .... 3-4 months, but it was all medication/new desk job weight gain.

    Hey sunshine! You're already on my friend list, but I'm a good example of "you can do it!" I am 5'2". I started at 185, will be 125 in a few weeks (127 today. ;) ).

    The things I can say are: Take it day by day. If the overall goal seems too big, set smaller/closer goals. My original goal weight was 145, and even that seemed very distant and difficult. Once I got there though, I breezed on by and readjusted. If you have a bad day, it's just one day. You get the whole next day to start over. Try every day, move every day, focus on your own wellness every day. You'll get there.

    I'm 5'3" and working my way down from 173. This isn't my first time losing weight from this starting point (it's my "eat everything I want" weight). My goal now is to get down to 145 and see how I feel at that point. I like to lift & run, but portion control & meal choices are the biggest issue for me.

    I'm 5'3" and 175lb. Nice to see others with similar situations. Add me if you'd like! I'd like to get down to 140, possibly 130 as that's about a size 6 for me.

    5'3'' and 135. Started at 140-- gained weight with a desk job and wanted to cut it off before it became a problem. Goal weight is 125, although I see a lot of women with 115 or 120... I suppose maybe I will decide when I get there but that seems really skinny to me!

    5'2" and 180 lb. Lost about 30 pound in a couple of months but then let myself loose and regained that weight; I even put some extra weight on.. so I'm aiming to lose those 30 lbs to go back to where I was and keep going down from there. Let's see how that goes!

    I'm 5'2 and 135, just looking to lose about 10 pounds and tone up. Our I know I have less to lose than others here, but the height is similar and the end goal is about the same.

    I'm 5'2'' and 159lbs, down 7lbs from what I was. I'd like to get to 130lbs, and it seems impossible to lose the last 29lbs.
