I am just under 5'4 and am 205 pounds. Have lost 7lbs in my first week. I have just written my own personal blog which uncovers my history and why I believe I am here. Whilst I am not ready to reveal to anyone yet, just reading it back is making me determined to keep going this time.
I have just eaten my lunch and recognised when I was full. OMG and I stopped eating, put the lid back on too. That is a major step forward.0 -
5'2" and started off at 174lbs. Down to just under 160 now (can't quite say I'm in the 150s but almost!). Hoping to lose at least another 20. I hope I start to really see a difference by then.0

I am 5'3" 176-8. I didn't weigh in at the start of this because I honestly hate the scale and get depressed continuously when I look at it. Been doing this seriously for a week now and I know (I think I know) there are changes. I can see my legs and arms and my face look slimmer. But again, the scale and I are bitter enemies and I do not want to weigh in until I feel my clothes start fitting better. My ultimate goal is 130, but hoping to get down to around 150 by May, if possible.
Currently I hit the gym 6-7 days a week, doing cardio. I haven't gotten into weights or anything else, for a couple reasons, mostly because I am ashamed of how I look in comparison to 95.5% of the girls at my gym. Also, my boyfriend and I attend the gym together, and he knows EVERYONE, so its kind of a buzzkill when I feel like they're all thinking "wow he's dating a cow." I burn about 500 calories, sometimes more. I have a HRM and it gives me accurate readings and I don't go by the MFP calories burned on here with exercise since its usually way off. I have trouble eating back the calories, though. Usually I end up netting about 800 calories a day with 600 or so remaining to eat back from exercise. I just can't do it. I am also not going by MFP suggestion of calorie intake (1200). Instead, I did the calculations of BMR, TDEE, etc. to get the amount of calories I should have and am going by that (1450). It works, but like I said, I end up with a significant # of calories at the end of the day.
I drive for work. I am in my car 90% of the day. The other 10% is spent sitting bedside of dying patients with families, talking. I can't very well bring microwavable meals to work, otherwise I'd make 4 small meals a day instead of B,L,D x 2 snacks.
Previously, I used MFP and was at 168 and lost 30lbs. That was 3 years ago. Then life happened, lots of changes... and here we are. I know its possible to do. Its just a matter of getting it done.
So that's about me. I am all private in my profile and journal (with a password--- creepers freak me out) but I'm available for support too.
P.S. I do have pretty decent Low Fat/Low Cal recipes if anyone needs them. I was kinda a foodie before this whole thing, so I HAVE TO make this 'healthy' food (that's usually bland) taste good otherwise I'm totally screwed.0 -
Love all the posts, very encouraging! I'm 5'3" and started at 196, I'm now 182. I lose then I gain, then lose, then gain, but I refuse to give up. I too was at 168 last May, then put most of what I had lost back on. I'm a work in progress. Went to the doctor last week and had blood work done. My numbers are good, which is great because a year ago my blood pressure was high. I don't post much but do love reading everyone's comments and thoughts. Thank you all for the support.0
