Anyone My Size Want To Post Successes?

I'm 5'7" and down to 178 as of today. I'm hoping to go to between 155-165 though. 135 sounds a little light for your height but that really depends on your bone structure.

The important part is to take it slowly so that you lose slowly so that you can maintain at a healthy weight

I'm also 5'9''. I started at 191 and goal is 155-150. I'm now 178. I was once 143 and looked a little ill and boyish, but i guess it does depend on your structure and ideal shape.

Hi there!

I am also 5'9", and I don't know how much I weigh exactly, because the number on the scale always upsets me, so I don't have one. However, I have a pretty good idea...and it's in the ballpark of what you weight. I currently wear a size 10 in clothes, and when they get tight, I know I've gained, when they get loose, well, I know I've lost . I was a size 8 all of my life, and I'd like to get back to that, and eventually a nice size 6 would be ideal! I'm hoping to drop about 30 lbs. So far what I have been doing is keeping my daily caloric intake under 1500, and I've been using my treadmill 1/2 hour 5 times a week. I can see a difference already, my hips are slimmer and someone at work said they noticed I was losing weight!! Hooray! I started this journey on 5/31/11. If I had to guess, I'd say I've lost about 4 lbs. so far? I don't have the scale to confirm that, but I can see a difference. I think if you stick to a similar plan, you'll be in a good place and will reach your goal weight! Good luck, I wish you much success!

I am 5'9". Started at 182 and am now at 164.5 (4 months in). It has been an awesome trek. I do exercise some but I am not over zealous about the exercise. Tracking the food intake has been the key for me....I am a grazer and that needed to STOP! I eat what I want at meal time and record the calories. I love salad and that is a good thing but I don't limit myself to salad if I want something else. Just tracking the calories....it is a must.

My intake goal each day is 1,200 calories....I have a desk job so lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle during the day.

My goal is 150. I was at 130 in my younger years....between 20 and 30. But now that I am 48 I think 150 will be a healthy spot to be at.

Best to you! Friend me if you want to. I'd like that!
