    Hey everyone! I'm not the same height as most (5'3") but I am in the same boat of losing weight. I am looking to lose 100+ pounds but 50 sounds just as good. I'm looking for a great group of people to keep me accountable and on track. Add me as a friend and I'll do the same and we can all work together to get to our goals.

    My goal is to hopefully shed this excess 50 pounds by November... Is this realistic? I don't know, but I'm gonna try!!!

    I think a consistent 2#s/wk is very hard unless you're doing lots of calorie burning exercise & don't stray from 1000/1200 cal diet. Of course, everyone's metabolism so 50#s by November may be the right goal. For me, without being able to do strenuous exercise plus surgery & rehab, my goal is 35.

    Yeah I agree that sounds a lot harder when you put it as two pounds per week. My Cala a day are about 1500 and I'm set as sedentary. I think realistically I could lose 25 by November then. I feel like I would starve on only 1200 calls! How do u do it??

    I don't know I've gotten into almost a zen kind of place...never been there before! I'm saying to myself it's ok to feel hunger pangs, read that somewhere, and food is fuel. You have to understand I love to cook and I love food! I've gotten into this whole fiber, protein, sodium nutrient thing which means I'm learning new ways to cook...I'm surprising myself. Also I no longer have any children at home...that's huge!!! Really steady 1500 cal/day is much better all my dietician friends tell me.

    I'm also looking to lose 40-50 pounds. I'm 5'7" starting at 200 and I'm on my second day now. After every diet or exercise motivation I get, it's gone within 2 weeks. Add me and we can motivate each other to reach our goal.

    I know what you mean about zen place. I was there tonight! I closed my diary for the evening and watched a movie. My tummy was grumbling so I filled it with water. Normally I would have been running to the snack cupboard, but I decided its okay to feel hungry sometimes. I'm thinking more long term than short term now in my decisions

    Hi Julie! You sound very similar to me minus the height. Last time I was here I Managed to lose 50+ pounds and was down to 145. Then I had baby number two and gained all my weight back and was up to 200

    Now I'm at 190 and am looking to hit that goal again! We can do this :)

    somewhere between 5'6" and 5'6.5" ( it varies every time I'm measured). I'm down 30ish pounds over the last year and think longer term I want to lose at least another 30ish pounds. The current goal I'm struggling with is sub-200 and to weigh less than my husband. I've been within 5 lbs for the last couple months. I could use focus and rededication.

    Hello! First I want to congratulate you on your 30lb loss! Losing weight is no easy task! However, you've come to the right place to lose that additional 30lbs. It helps having friends with similar goals :smile:

    Hi everyone,

    Can I get in on this, too? :smile: I'm the same height. I lost over 30 lbs a couple of years ago and then gained it back. I want to lose that 30 again. I did it with Nutrisystem last time but then I hit a wall, got frustrated, was getting tired of the food. I know what to do and how to do it (more or less!) and I've lost a few pounds the last few weeks. It's the motivation that needs boosting.
