    Interesting how everyone weight loss journey is so different.
    I am 5'7 and have been maintaining at 135-137 for 8 months now.
    Took me a long time to lose 48 lbs. 95% logging everything. Very little exercise.
    Not eating processed food was the kick start. (pre MFP) Lost 10lbs in 5 weeks.
    Slow and steady after that...I also have learned to watch my carbs (100) and sodium(1500)intake which has helped a lot. Which goes hand in hand with processed /restaurant food.
    I eat on average 1300 calories a day.

    Hi. I'm 5'5" and currently 127 lbs. I started at 145 lbs in January and I got to 125 lbs in July. My goal weight is 117 lbs.
    I lost the weight with exercise and healthy diet. I still exercise every day but I can't stop overeating some days. I have a sweet tooth and it is my major problem.

    I just turned 40 and wanted to get more active. I am 5'7 and around 155 pounds. I eat well and try to do 40 minutes of treadmill 4 times a week. I weighed myself 2 weeks ago and it said I was 160 lbs....I threw my scale in the garbage. Not sure if I have lost anything but I am not going on a scale for a while!
