I just recently found out I'm 5'1''. My driver's licence said 160cm (5'3''), so I just believed that to be my height. However, I recently got a physical and found out I'm actually 155cm lol. 2 inches can make a big difference in terms of looks.
CW: 159lbs
GW: 115lbs
HW: 180+lbs
You can post your success stories or your progress. I weigh myself every Thursday, exercise 6 days/week and am quite strict with my diet. Feel free to add me if you think we're compatible

I am 5'3. My initial goal was 147 ( the weight I first met my fiancé) but that's still not a healthy BMI so I'm aiming for an initial goal of 135. I'll evaluate from there

Hi everyone, I'm going to join in here because my stats are very similar to all of yours:
I am 5'2-ish and I weighed 120ish my whole adult life but over the last two years I gained weight. Now I am my heaviest weight ever: 150 pounds. My goal is to drop back down to 125-130.....so about 20-25 pounds. Did I mention I have the added incentive of my wedding being September 8, 2017?!
Good luck everyone. Can't wait to see everyone's progress!2 -

Hi. I'm 53 years old, 5'1". And I can relate, as I always thought I was 5'2", but I recently found out I'm only 5'1".

HW: 201
I started last July 27th. The weight has been coming off sooOOOOo slow, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm so much better off than where I was! I'm at 1200 calories, but I eat back all my exercise calories.

I'm 5'2 and 39 years old. Most of my life I've been around 110lbs. Four years ago I gained massive weight because I was drinking too much alcohol. I decided that I needed to improve my lifestyle in several areas so I stopped drinking and started counting calories.
CW: 115lbs
GW: 105lbs - 110lbs
HW/SW: 115lbs
I found that tying to lose 2lbs a week was impossible because I would have to eat less than 1000 calories and cannot do that and get my required nutrition. I also found that 1.5lbs was to aggressive as well, and aimed for a weekly goal of 1lbs for the first 20lbs. After that I had to aim for a .5lbs loss a week until I got around 120lbs - 125lbs, and had to further reduce my deficit to 250 calories a week. I also had to exercise which I did by walking at least an hour a night. I've been maintaining for a little while now and generally eat between 1400 calories to 2000 calories. I'll probably start back up in the next month or so to get to goal. I plan on keeping a 250 cal deficit and increase my exercise. When I get to my goal I want to start working on increasing muscle and will start eating over maintenance and doing heavy lifting. When everything is said and done I am hoping to weigh around 120lbs, if I can gain that much muscle.
Good luck OP!1 -

What is your average daily calorie intake. I am having trouble with the scale moving!
I eat anywhere between 1000 - 1200 calories a day. If I eat anymore than that, I don't burn enough to have any significant weight loss. On average, I burn anywhere from 500 - 800 calories a day.0 -

I used to be a healthy weight when I was in middle school but I was never the ideal weight for my height. Lowest I've ever been as an adult was 145lbs. I'm also looking forward to how I'll look at 115lbs! I'm very excited 0 -

Keep your streak going! My longest streak was 250 days but I broke it for a few months. Once you lose the momentum, it's hard to get back into it. Stay focused, have a goal in mind and push through. You can do it! I have 115lbs on my mind and I'm not looking back anymore!0 -

The last time I was a healthy weight was probably when I was 9 and going to dance classes
Two years later my parents divorced and I spent weekends with my dad. We used to have 'sneaky McDonalds' in the car park. Started off with a cheeseburger, then a double until it became a full meal! Just got fatter and fatter and never been healthy. I've never been grossly overweight looking as I can just about pull it off with my larger frame, although my highest weight of 178 was pushing it.
I'm five pounds away from a healthy BMI and I know it isn't the most reliable thing, but to be 'healthy' for once by some standard will be amazing.
I've actually bought a bikini today to wear on my honeymoon in August and I don't look half bad! My thighs are still wibbly but the fact I even bought it was amazing!
I wish I started this journey so long ago. I've been ashamed of my body for far too long.1 -

You lost a lot of weight in a year! Slow is better than maintenance. Do you know why you end up eating your burned calories back? I know that when I didn't plan my entire day's meal plan, I unsuccessful. If you need any pointers with your diet, feel free to pm me. Food control comes first before any exercise. Hope we both reach 115lbs 0
