Height: 5'3
Starting weight: 190 (size 12-14)
Current weight: 155 (size 8, fitting a size 6 but snug)
Goal weight: ~125-130
I began working out regularly Sept. 4 2014 and after losing 30 I maintained at 160 or so between January and April and have been working on finishing the rest. I'm noticing that it is requiring more patience now that I've become closer to a healthy weight but also that it's become easier as I've developed some habits and enjoy exercise. I do a lot of spinning, running, weight lifting (Stronglifts 5x5).
Some tips:
1. Eat healthy food - everyone says a calorie is a calorie but paying attention to the value of food you eat will help you fuel your work outs and make you feel better. I quit consuming "diet foods" and artificial sweeteners and have noticed that I no longer crave sugar like I used to.
2. GET A HEART RATE MONITOR WITH A STRAP. This has been my single largest motivator to workout.
3. Do an exercise that you like and it will no longer be a chore. Just because someone else is successful with something doesn't mean that's the only way to do it. I hate Zumba, TRX, elliptical, recumbent bicycles, at home bodyweight workout videos and Turbokick. I've tried lots of different types of exercise to just see if I like them. Take what you like - leave the rest. Also, just because something is hard doesn't mean that you won't like it.
4. Be nice to yourself.

These were my shorts that fit at my smallest years ago and they were the only thing I really held onto. I knew that I wanted to get back to where I could fit into them!! Now (currently at 153) they're getting loose!
