    I'm 5'1 and currently at 132. After having my 3rd baby in January 2015 i had a lot of weight to lose. On the day I went into labor I was 180. I'm a runner so being active is part of my life but finding the time isn't always easy. Pre baby I was usually between 105-110. I am looking to get close to that again. I am loving this app and can't believe how helpful it is. I don't have any pics of me currently but here is what I looked like around 110.

    I am 5ft 2 and have lost 103 lbs, I went from a size 24 and am now a 10-12, I never imagined I would get to this and gave myself small goals along the way, clothes was more an inspiration than the scales, i would buy a new size smaller jeans and top, normally from a charity shop, in case I never fitted into them, I threw my sclaes9o6un2hpm9mp.jpg

    them away and weighed in once a weeks at the chemist. I introduced exercise by walking and getting a Fitbit, now I enjoy workouts. I realise now it's a life journey and not just to reach a goal weight. I still have a bit to lose, and tone up, but my kids now have a more active and happier mum x I hope I can help someone get to goal x

    WoW! Thank you for the inspiration.

    I'm 4ft 11 inches and now 144lb having lost 22 lb since January 13th 2015. Lightest I've been for along time, so much easier reading your success stories to keep motivated. Thankyou and well done.

    I'm 5'2", currently down 91.4 lbs. My goal is to be "normal weight" which would be 136 lbs. I'd like to go lower, to see if I can get to 124 lbs so I'd have both a buffer and bragging rights that I lost half my body weight. Not sure if I can go that low, but we'll see what happens. Don't miss the 39% of me that left my body :smiley:

    I am 5 foot and started weighing in at 215. I currently weigh 164. I went from a 20 to a 14. I went from 18/20 in shirts to a medium! I need to get to 153 just to be overweight catagory. I think 128 would be normal weight. I just want to reach the 153 for now. It is slowing down a lot right now. I have only lost 1 pound in three weeks. I will never go back to what I was. I have taken a lot of before and inbetween pics. I'm waiting to get to 128 to post them all.

    Hi Cladf!
    I have lost about 50 lbs, I am 5"2. Last 2 months I have gained and lost the same 5 lbs. Went from size 15 to 5-7. I am not looking for a specific number on the scale now, just want to be healthy and lean. I have a long way to go, but I see the finish line! You can do it, just take it one day at a time. Keep that motivation and you will accomplish anything you want!

    Tammy - you have the EXACT same end goal as me. I started at 203, I want to be 128 by the end too. Sounds like our stats are SO similar! Feel free to friend me if you like?

    I'm just getting started but I am 5'0". I am around 140 right now and it's tough losing weight being so short. Hopefully I'll have some hot pictures when I'm around 110, like I was before college...

    Hello, I'm 5'2". Cannot, for some reason, get pictures to post but you could view the ones in my profile. They are all of me at my current weight, about 107.

    I've maintained my current weight for going on 5 years. At my heaviest I was around 140-145. The last time I had to lose weight was post-pregnancy in 2011. That's when I found MFP, started logging food and exercise everyday, and the rest is history. I still use MFP in maintenance as I did while I was losing.

    Good luck, ladies!

    I am getting close to my goal. W
