    Feel free to add me. 5'2", need to lose about 25lbs, have already lost about 31 (a bit before starting MFP round two). My lifestyle and eating habits have changed a lot this time, and I'm sure once I do get to my goal weight, I'll be able to maintain. This last bit is super difficult though! Looking for as many cheerleaders as I can find in my timeline. :smile:

    I'm 5'2.5", original starting weight around 200lbs (highest measured weight 196). I got down to 138 in around 7 months, had a health hiccup, crept back up to 172 over 3 years, stayed there for a year and a half, came back on MFP at the end of last June, have maintained at 140 for 2 months to have a break and re-evaluate, now heading to a final goal that's probably somewhere between 120 and 127. I am in no hurry :)

    Hi! I'm 5'1" and my first goal is to lose 30 lbs. My vanity goal is 40, but at this age that might be impossible. My highest weight was 157. My goal is 125. Vanity is 115.

    It is going incredibly SLOW.

    31 and 5'2.5" over here. My goal is to lose 30 lbs to get back to where I want to be. Carrying extra weight is so much more noticeable when you're a shorty! I've taken to wearing oversized tops, but it just makes me look kinda pregnant.

    I know exactly what you mean! I'm 30 and 5'3 and also trying to lose 30 pounds. and I totally feel that I look pregnant. it shows SO MUCH when you're petite!

    Getting a bit bored with my meals. I stay away from sugar, white carbs, and limited dairy.

    Why do you stay away from all those foods? I don't know what a chocolate sandwich is but I'm sure you could have something sweet unless you have a medical condition to avoid those foods.

    I stay away from sugar etc because that's my problem with weight loss. Chocolate sandwich is just a medaphor. I am craving for some chocolate and bread. I've been on my "diet" for 110 days, and I think that I am doing pretty well. Now if I could just tone up, I'd be a happy camper
