Thanks! It is awesome!

I'm 5'5" and completely aghast at the number on the scale. How does it keep going up? I thought I had been starting healthy habits, but clearly not enough! The past year or two have been rough, and I did that whole emotional eating thing. I'm hoping to lose 20-40 lbs, but I'm trying to focus on health more than weight!

Hey everyone! I'm 24 and almost 5'4" lol. I started (this is my second time losing) at 173lbs, currently 145lbs. I am aiming for 130 again. Between May and Sept 2012 I lost from 168lbs to 128lbs and it felt awesome! I want to get back there again! Anyone can add me for friends

Love all this support and encouragement!
I'm 34 years old, 5'2 and would like to lose 75lbs... or i should say i want to feel good and feel amazing about myself. I'm down 11lbs since starting back on MFP 3 weeks ago... and down almost 14 inches overall. I've been exercising 6 days a week (fitness walking 3-4 miles) and eating between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. It's hard with 2 kids who love junk food and a husband who is supportive but "forgets" I'm trying so hard to eat healthy. I'm also on medications for Crohn's that definitely do not help but I'm not going to let that stop me this time!
I know we can all do this!!

I am same height and trying to lose 30 pounds as well. I have a goal of 10 pounds for August and trying to lose the last 20 over a few months. I have been doing low carb / low fat and feeling so much better. Less bloated and more energy. Best of luck to you all!

I'm 36, 5'4", and weigh 163. This is huge for me. Trying to overcome depression from failed pregnancies and get back to where I used to be. I haven't logged on to MFP in a long time, but when I did I realized I've already lost some weight (was 180 at my heaviest, when preg). I'm hoping for some camaraderie and motivation with this group! Goal weight is 120.

Hi all! Found this forum at the perfect time. I am 36 y.o., 5'5" and have quite a bit more weight to lose than the rest of u girls. My s.w. was 256, current is 251. Goal weight is 150. Joined the gym 2 wks ago and w MFP I have been cutting down on calories and eating a lot healthier. Cutting out soda was a big deal. I work night shift and would routinely go thru 2 20 oz. Mt Dews a night. Now at work I drink 4 20 oz waters. Would love some fitness buddies and some encouragement. Please add me, tho I am not sure how or what goes w that. Stay busy girls!

I'm 5'1", SW 200, down to 184 (1 year later), turning 36 on Sunday and want to get my *kitten* together to be fit by 40. I've just started the C25K program. I'm on W1D2.

jeanu01 · July 2015

Hi gals.i am 5ft and weigh 75 kgs. Need to loose 25 kgs for my ideal weight.(last was in 2005).i am 42 years old and could use some motivation.All the best all of you!!

vivrevotrevie · July 2015

I am about 5'6-7", looking to lose 40 total. Down 5 or so now.

Recently injured my knee during a women's field hockey game. Hoping it isn't bad (MRI next week) so I can keep up with the weight loss! If it is, would love to have suggestions on how to at least lose a little just through diet. I have always done a combo diet/exercise.

I have been up and down in my weight since high school. Always been a very active person, playing sports and exercising recreationally, and a "healthy eater." Once I started logging foods I noticed a difference. It is amazing what those extra calories can do!

Feel free to add!

kism · July 2015

I am loving all your stories. It has definitely helped me in the last few days, of starting out clean (for the rest of my life). I know that this is the way it has to be. I am 5'3" 266lbs I never feel "GOOD" right now that's all I want. Please add me as well. I will keep you posted Thank you

caitsaunt · July 2015

I am 44, 5'5" and looking to lose about 60. I lost down to about 178 1.5 years ago, my lowest since 2006, and have crept back up to 209. I can't stand it.

I'm counting calories (eating based on Scooby's TDEE), avoiding foods that tend to trigger cravings for me (mainly sugar and wheat) and doing weightlifting/crossfit. However, I hurt my knee on vacation last week so need to chill for another week or so.

Glad to find a like-minded group!

Erino505 · July 2015

Hi! I'm Erin from Oregon. I'm 5'6" and want to lose about 20. Right now I'm about 160, but in 2012 I had gotten down to 128 working with a trainer and on a vegan diet. I'm not worried about getting back there (it was a lot of work and very time consuming!) But I'd like to feel a little better and have a little less back pain. Please feel free to add me. My plan this time is to cut down on alcohol, be a little more aware of what I eat and to cook at least 80% of the time. Good luck to all you ladies!

FinallyFit28 · July 2015

Hi Ladies, feel free to add me on. I'm 5'4 1/2 currently at 139 trying to reach my goal of 127. I enjoy getting to know and learning from people with like minded goals.

AshBur1988 · July 2015

Hi I am 26, 5'5 and 232 pounds. 170 is my goal weight for my ten year class reunion this coming May. With 145 being my final goal. I have tried to lose weight off and on since 2008. When I started in 2008 I was going to a doc with my mom and got down to 170 but the pills he gave up to loose weight almost killed my mom and gave me a seizure. (It was fin fin which is illege but we didn't know at the time.) since then I gained all my weight back. I did weight watchers for about two years but stopped because it wasn't working. When I stopped I was ten pounds more then what I started. I am now doing Nurtisystem with my cousins and so far it is working. Already I have lost 5.2 pounds.

Jazzysoul · July 2015

Hi Ladies! I'm 45, 5'4" and 177lbs. I want to lose approx 30 with a goal weight of 145. This is not my first go 'round. I shed close to 40lbs a couple of years ago with MFP. I fell. I fell hard. Regained most of it back. I never left MFP but I never regained my determination and focus. I'm ready now. Feel free to add me!

AmberDalum · July 2015

I'm 5'5 I weight 135 pounds and I'm trying to lose 10 pounds. I know 10 pounds isn't alot but iv been having a really hard time, I need motivation and support. I have a bad self image of myself. I want to feel better about myself. I'm trying really hard to not only diet but to be healthy and to change my life to be entirely happy with me my body myself and my weight.
