    Hi, I'm 5'5 (probably one of the tallest here lol) & my current weight is 136lbs. I started at 150lbs on the 15th September, so I've lost about 14lbs in just under 6 weeks, (I know, not a huge loss for many of you). My GW is 110-115. That was where I was before my weight gain

    How many calories have you been eating and what is your exercise regimen? Because I want to mimic exactly what you did! LOL!

    I'm 5'5" and 155 and keep bouncing around the same 3 or 4 lbs. My GW is 135-140. I know I look good at 135 and don't want to get lower than that. What do I do want is be a toned 135-140 and not a flabby 135-140. :)

    I'm 5'4" and 37. I could use some friends for motivation if any wants to add me. I'm currently at my highest weight at 236. I got down to 189 a couple years ago. Due to a couple medical issues and well, just life, I've gotten to where I'm at. My ultimate goal is 130.

    I just got a Fitbit yesterday and so far I'm loving it. I've been doing weights in the morning and then some elliptical/cardio in the evenings.

    Eat at a caloric deficit! Calculate your TDEE and then subtract 500 and that's the amount of calories you eat a day. If you do that and exercise properly you will get there.

    I'm 5'4! Started my journey at 190. Reached my goal of 132, but gained some of it back. Right now I'm 145 and wanting get down to 138. Not really focusing on the scale anymore -- more of lowering my body fat percentage.

    Also 5'4. Started at 167 down to 150.4 right now. Lowest I've ever been was 127 and honestly it was too skinny. I carry all my weight in my lower half and at 127 I looked super bony up top then. But we all carry our weight differently. I'm aiming for 130 I think. But I was pretty happy when I weighed 135 in all honesty. I've also been having some medical issues do sticking with my current plan has been a lot easier knowing that it's helping me not feel like death warmed over!

    I'm shaped the same. I just started touching 127 on a good day recently and it's about the thinnest I can get. All bony up top!

    I'm just curious about your ages. I'm 5' 3.75", 53 years old. My goal weight is 146 (about 25% body fat). The last time I was anywhere near 125-130 was when I got married at 24yo.

    I'm turning 30. The last time I ever weighed 125-130 was probably the 5th grade. I hit 150 in middle school and was between that and 180 ever since. I've actually never been slim.

    I'm 25 yrs old. The last time I fell into this weight range I was 19. However, even though my weight is about the same I wear smaller clothes now than I did at 19.

    I'm 5'4 and started at 179 about 5 yrs ago on ichange logging everything I ate everyday . I started using MFP when quite a few of the ladies from ichange switched over . I am currently using both programs . I weigh 148 now but was down to 145 in the summer . Would like to get down to 142 , I know that's probably more than I should weigh for my height but at 64 I'd be happy with that . I just want to stay healthy and keep my cholesterol and blood sugar under control .

    I'm 5'4" and I am between 127 and 132 lbs. so when I am being really good ad eating clean I get to 127/128 and when I'm being more carefree am around 132.

    I would love to get to gw of 120 but I can't seem to ever get lower than 125. Must be a plateau - I'm starting to just accept it

    Hi there, Im new here, Im 5'3.5 :) I am currently at 187, ( lost 5 pds my first two weeks, 3rd week ends tomorrow) I would like to get to 140, it's tough, I've been trying to lose weight for years with no success, but then I've always had them tied to a goal, like going on a vaca or something..... NOW Im doing it cause I want to, and cause I want my back to stop hurting so much..... My goal is by spring, I can do a flip on the parallel bar, nothing drastic, just a simple flip. LOL
    I'm the same height and weight as you & your struggle sounds identical to mine! Lol. Hang in there! Feel free to add me!

    I'm 5'4" and currently weigh 133. I want to get down to 110, because that is the weight I felt the healthiest at.

    Until I was 25 my highest non-pregnancy weight was 105. I always thought I was too skinny and needed to gain a few pounds. When I managed to get up to 110 and felt great. Had more energy and liked the way I looked more.

    Then I got up to 125 in what seemed like no time for no explainable reason. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with lupus and RA. The medications they put me on caused me to balloon up and didn't help my symptoms. I got off the medications at 145lbs and haven't been able to get back to that 110 I felt so great at since! My symptoms are mostly managed by eliminating food triggers from my diet, but I just know getting the extra weight off will relieve a lot of the strain on my body!

    I turn 30 in January and would be so happy to be down to 120 by then. That's where I was last summer; life got crazy and I stopped being strict about my diet.

    Here! Started at 180. Currently at 140. At this point, I'm mostly trying to get in shape, but I could probably stand to lose another 10 pounds.

    Hi all :) I'm 51 years old and 5'4", too! Started my journey here on MFP in July 2014 at 369lbs. Today I'm 243.6lbs with a 125lbs loss so far! WOOHOO!!! I don't even truly know what I want my goal to be since I've never weighed below 200lbs yet in my whole adult life. I figure IT'S ALL GOOD now as long as it's going down down down!! However, I am currently stuck on this horrible plateau and it's irking the devil out of me GRRRRRRR!!!! >:)

    I'm a touch taller, at just over 5'5" ☺️. Currently 181 lbs or so, would be very happy at 145-150. Main aim is to reduce body fat - it's over 40% now, and I don't like being the consistency of double cream!
