    Hi Britt, I'm 5'5" and weighed 206 in November. I currently am 174.2. I log what I eat and have began changing my diet. I count my steps and try to stay active. I have a very busy schedule so working out is pretty hard for me but I've made a lot of little changes like instead of taking the elevator to class, I take the stairs. I park farther away from the door which increases my step count and decreases the risk for door dings! You can add me if you would like for motivation!

    I was 165 when I started here on MFP but I've been as big as 225. I weigh my food, measure my liquids, lift weights, try to hit 8-10k steps a day, and never sacrifice general happiness and sanity to lose weight (but sometimes I feel crazy/obsessed anyway so I take breaks when needed.

    Pictures here.

    I'm 138 right now. Can't decide what to do next.

    I'm 5'4". My starting weight in October was 179 lbs. My first goal is 149 lbs. I am 160.5 lbs now.
    When I get to 149, I will probably keep going until I am 125 or so.

    I'm 5' 3 1/2". Is that close enough? :) I'm at 150 and just want to lose about 20 lbs or so, but I'm also lifting, so I have no idea how many actual pounds I want to lose...I'd like to get down to around 22% bodyfat.

    I'm 5'5 and started off at 161 at the beginning of January, am now 137. My goal is to get to 126 and then see how I feel then. Have been using MFP to create a calorie deficit and running a few times a week. :) also completed Slim in 6 in February which helped me to lose a lot of the weight!

    Hi, 5'5 sw~175 gw 130-135 but more importantly 22-25%bf. Started about a month ago and am excited with how things are going. After watching the scale slowly creep up over the last 10yrs, but living in denial, feels good to do something about it.

    I'm 5'4" and my goal weight is 112 lbs. My CW is 113.5 ...I am actually focusing on body recomp and prefer to go by measurements. My weight sounds low but I look heavier as I have broad shoulders and wide rib cage. I have resumed lifting with a mix of cardio.

    I'm 5'5 and started at 185lb post pregnancy, although a lot of the weight was put on before getting pregnant! I struggled to find the motivation to lose weight for almost a year, but I'm now at 169lb and slowly going down :) Current goal is 135, might want to lose more once I get there.

    I'm 5'4" and I started at 180. My current weight is 146 and I've been stalled for a few weeks due to a variety of things, one of which is vacation. I am back on it this week and hopefully I will see a slight drop in the scale. I hope to make it down to 125-130 by the summer and that will make a year. After that- maintenance, which is harder than losing!

    Hey! I'm 5'5" and 27 years old. Started at 176lbs. Currently I'm 165lbs. It's been harder since I had a child 2 years ago but hasn't been impossible. I just make better decisions because I realized I'm worth it. I am currently training for a marathon in december and that is helping to lose the weight. I eat between 1400-1500 cal/day. sometimes less sometimes more (really depends how much running I've done that day). feel free to add me!

    Hi there. I'm 5'6" and currently at 207 lbs. I started somewhere around 250. I have been overweight my entire life. A few years ago I decided to do something about it. My short term goal is to just get below 200. My long term goal is 150 lbs, which would put me in the high end of normal weight, according to BMI. We'll see if that's obtainable. I'm focusing on eating healthy and tasty food, along with getting enough exercise. Just walking seems to be working for me, at least for now. I like to cook and try to do meal planning a week in advance. Feel free to add me.
