    I'm 5'4. Started at 147 and I'm down to 133.5. I started low carb October 4th. Lost 13.5 pounds since then.
    Goal is 115 but I work out a lot so maybe 120 will be better.

    Hello! I'm about 5"3 I weigh 16st and have only been doing this 11days. So far I have lost 2 pounds which I am so pleased with. My goal weight is to be nearer 9st. How hard do you think it will be to reach this?

    Hi! I'm 5'4.5 and started off with MFP at 178 and am down to 153.9 (83 days) but I've been the same weight now for the past like 3 days and getting upset. I drink plenty of liquid, calories are under 1000 everyday and I do incorporate fruit and veggies in my diet. Not sure if the 150 carbs per day they allow is too much? (I usually at most eat 120-bad days!)...not sure what will spurn some sort of weight loss everyday. I do walk about 3 days per week, 40 min, moderate pace..HELP! Trying to get down to at MINIMUM 120!

    I am 5' 3 1/2" and 65 . In late August at the doctor's office, in light clothes I was 153.

    I am now hovering around 134 in my underwear , at home.

    My nominal goal is 125, but the real goal is getting into a particular size 6 Armani dress that I found on a tremendously good sale ($50 f you can believe it!) and not look like a 5 lb sausage in a 2 lb case.

    I am not following a formal plan, just charting what I eat, weighing ingredients for precision and planning a strategy for noshing temptations, wedding receptions and holiday dinners all to keep me as close as possible to MFP's !@#$%(*!! 1200 cal per day goal.

    3 days is not a lot of time at all. I had stalled for more than 2 weeks and then over night I dropped 6 pounds. Keep doing the right things and you will see results. Sadly, it's not instantly reflected on the scale... I'm 2 months in and 16 pounds down, but it came in big losses and long stalls.

    Thanks for the advice...Wow, a 2 week stall? I'm so addicted to the scale (weight myself everyday in the morning) but I will admit that the inches must be coming off b/c I am now wearing a Size 12 comfortably and earlier this year that would have been I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E! So I know it's working it's just frustrating with the up and down and I know I'm doing everything right. Weight loss is super tough! :blush:

    Hi I'm 5'4.5 and weigh around 124. My goal is 120 and maybe even try to aim 115. People tell me I should stop losing weight and start building muscle but I still feel I have a few more lbs to lose

    @arijacks80 -- have you tried a trend weight app?
    I use Libra app. Log in my weight every morning (same time/routine). It's great to be aware of the daily fluctuations, but also to see the downwards trend & know you're working in the right direction. Most days are down/even, but there are days I'm up, and it doesn't bother me so much anymore.
    Good luck!!

    I'm 5'4" and starting over on MFP. I lost 22 pounds the first time and felt amazing then a family tragedy happened and I need to lose again. I was aiming for 135 but after reading everyone's posts I think I might need to lower it. I will aim for 130.

    It's completely a personal choice, you may find you're happy at 135 anyways!

    Also 5'4".....started at 154.7 8/17/15 and currently at 140.2. My goal is 125 which should be a comfortable size 4 for me. Historically, when I got close to 120, my size 4's are too big, so I will be happy in mid-120's. SLOW process. I do cardio 3 days a week for 45 min. Weights 2 days a week 30 mins each, 1- 45 min kickboxing/hand weights class and then additional walking 7 days a week to add more calories burned until I get to at least 500 a day.

    I would love to be at goal before June 1st when I have my 30th class reunion.
