    Just found you guys.... I'm 5'2 and weigh 159. I need to lose at least 25lbs to get into a healthy weight range. I'm participating in a game on mfp right now like resembles biggest loser and I am amongst the smaller (pound wise) but I feel like I'm right with everyone else cause for my height I have to lose just as much as they do. It's kinda frusterating.

    Im totally in on this. I am 5'2 and 145lbs. I work out 5-6 days a week doing 15 high intensity cardio warm up - half hour of strength training - , and then about 10-15 min interval training.

    I want to weight 125lbs (loose 20 pounds) - I just love drinking wine....and that is what I think is holding me back.

    I tried counting it in my caloric intake - but i just don't end up doing it and then consume over my recommended intake.

    Today I am planning on not drinking wine - and trying to focus on eating delicious hearty healthy foods like I usually always do and keeping it around 1250 calories a day. Wish me luck!
    You should look for the "like minded lushes" thread. I love them! We all like to drink and have an awesome support group going their. We'd love to have ya :drinker:

    I'm there too, and add I'm almost 49 - so add another layer of difficulty to trying to lose it besides being vertically challenged :)
    I have yo yo'd the same two pounds for quite awhile before getting really serious with this site, and exercising. I am starting to slowly see the inches come off - not a lot of pounds but some - so YAY! I started at 150 lbs 40 days ago and am at 142 right now, and have 25 lbs to lose total. I think my metabolism was pretty well shut off - but it is coming back.

    Let's hang in there together.

    Count me in.....am 5"1 and need to lose 25 pounds. Finding it harder and harder to shift the weight as I get older. Find it very frustrating which may well explain the terrible yo yo dieting I have been doing for the last 5 years. On day 2 of shred so am praying this will help me :0(

    Hi Everybody! I'd love to join the group - I'm 5'2" with about 20 pounds to lose. My starting weight was 140, and after 2 weeks I'm down to 138, with a goal weight of 120. I've been lurking around the past 2 weeks on the MFP boards, and I'd love to make some friends on here and dive into the community!

    Right now for exercise I'm doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (Level 1, Day 10 today!) and trying to take advantage of the beautiful mountains around here by hiking once or twice a week. We went on a 5-mile hike last weekend and the gorgeous views were totally worth it!

    I love the support and friendliness of everyone here on MFP, I'm excited to begin my journey and watch everyone as they continue (and SUCCEED!) in theirs! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I am 5'4" and just about 145 lbs. I want to lose about 15-20 lbs.
    I run 4-5 days out of the week BUT over eat 7 days a week.
    It is very hard for me to lose weight let alone not gain any!
    Would love extra support!

    I'm about 145 lbs and I would like to lose 20 lbs. I am doing The Firm program and have just recently purchased their new program where you lose 15 lbs in 30 days, you exercise 3x a week for 20 min. I can't wait till I get it in the mail. I weight 140 lbs about 3 weeks ago and a little stressed about the weight increase, but I think it is because of the body toning and muscle mass that has put the weight on.

    I would love to be your friend and we can coach and support each other.

    Thanks

    Have you checked your measurements in a while? Could have lose inches but gained weight. It's hard I look at the scale all the time too, pretty much daily and sigh when I go up and down, but within five weeks I lost two inches around my hips! Add me if you'd like, we've got the same amount to lose in the same area. I'm 5 foot 2 and currently 142 ish and want to get back down to 120 or lower.

    Does anyone else feel like when you gain weight it's super visible because you're short? I look bloated after eating even a small meal! I hate it. And when I gain weight it's obvious, but it takes forever for the effects of losing weight to show.

    5'3" and 15 more pounds to lose. I'm at 140 right now and would like to get to 125. I think anything under that would make me look unhealthy, but we'll see once I reach my goal.

    Me, too! I am 5'4" and 128 want to get to 120. So much harder now that I am in my mid-40's. I have to work out very hard and really restrict my diet. No FUN! :(

    I am trying though and am motivated. Nice to find others like me.
