@ seasonalvoodoo
Wow, I felt like I was reading my own post. Our weight is the same and so is our goal weight. Best of luck to you. My lowest weight was 167 almost 2 years ago. I gained a little by loss of dedication to eating healthy and working out regularly, then got pregnant and gained a ton. My baby is 9 monthes old and I have barley lost anything. But I am back on track and I did it once and maintianed for a long time and I know I can do it again.
You have done incredible so far. Keep it up!0 -
I am 5'5" too but when I went to the Dr. they said I was only 5'4". Was I ever bummed out. I didn't think I had shrunk that much - they just slammed the measuring stick down on top of my head and made my spine buckle!!!!!! But what every my height I am finally lower than the 190 something that I have been for the past few years. Used to be every day I say that I was going to watch what I ate only to fail before the end of the day or a few days. This time it is differant. This MFP seens to be working but it is a slow process. I found that drinking more water has helped some and I finally got around to exercising. I just hope that I can keep going to get to my goal (around 140-145).0

Thanks for posting this. Looks like there are a lot of women with the same stats and goals as mine
Feel free to add me as a friend so that we can support each other in reaching our goals. I have a great group of MFP friends and they offer me daily support and I try to do the same.
Brief intro - I am a mom with 2 kids. I have full-time job as well. I eat mostly healthy but, my biggest problem is I am snacker:embarassed: . But, I love working out and I know it is one thing that keeps me sane. I work out 4-5 times/week and my exercise routines include TurboFire/Cardio Gym classes/ Zumba/strength training (gym)/3K-5Kjogging on weekends with family, etc.

How is everyones progress coming along? I kind of had a rebellious phase and ate some junk that didnt exactly help me along on my journey. I'm back on track though and happy about it. How are you all doing?0

Hey, another 5'5er here! Only just started calorie counting, my current weight is 149 and my goal weight is 126. I've always been a bit on the curvier side so really hope I can reach my target weight!0

I am about 5'5" (1/2) and have been hovering around 121-124 for over a month now. My goal is 120 but I would like to see what it's like at 115 again before making a final maintenance decision. Are any of you having trouble shedding those last 5 or so pounds? What have you found that worked?
(Just for the record I don't eat any processed food, sugar or sweeteners except if it comes in the form of fruit, work out each day for at least an hour with a variety of workouts, and am mostly vegetarian. I've been pretty good about the calorie counts and have only recently started experimenting to try to shake things up a little, but that's not working either. I don't really know what more I can do and still have it be sustainable!!!)0 -

Yes! I am 5'5" and have been stuck at 123 for about 3 weeks now. My goal was 118 just to see the teens. But I don't know if that weight is possible for me when eating a healthy amount as I carry a lot of muscle mass. I am confused as to whether my body doesn't want to get any smaller, or that my body just needs a new routine to kick it out of its "funk." Let me know how you do!0 -
I'm 5'5 and a half I think...used to say I was 5'6 but I measured myself a while ago and I must have shrunk!
Here are my stats:
Age 31
HW: 138
SW: 133
CW: 123
GW: 120
I have a pretty small frame and what appears to be a lot of body fat. So right now I'm just trying to lose the fat and then work on gaining new muscle. Ultimately I don't have a number in mind. I really just want to look leaner and feel better naked!0
