Hey guys!
I've been on this journey of losing weight for a while now (about 7 months) but have only lost 5lbs. This was just by working out regularly while my diet was still horrible. I did a lot of lifting so I think I have a pretty decent muscle base now but I'm trying to really up my game and reach my goals by eating right and counting calories.
A little about me.. I'm 18 years old, 5'4, 151lbs and looking to get to about 120lbs. I have a small frame so the extra weight really shows on me and I'm desperate to get it off.
Currently I'm focusing on eating clean which is really difficult for me because I have a sweet tooth and I love all food that's bad! Haha it sucks and I'm working on it. Just thinking about what it'll be like to be at my goal weight.

    5 foot 4 here,
    My 2016 i was 176lbs
    today 142lbs

    I am now at the fittest i have been since my teens, and the same weight/clothing size that i was at 21. I am a broad shouldered muscular man so am actually now trying to work out my maintenance intake requirements.
    i quite fancy dropping to 139lbs but as i am fit/healthy and in the healthy bmi range the loss of 3 more lbs would not make any difference at all other than to hit a pre conceived goal

    Im 5'2 and my heaviest weight was earlier this year, July weighing around 152. My current weight is 134 and my GW is 125. I just started using MFP again this October and try to be religious about logging my meals. One thing I've done differently this time around and am having great success is doing hiit workouts with fitness blender on YouTube - they have a great variety of workouts no matter what level you're starting at. Feel free to add me :) my diary is public and i do weigh my portions.

    That's basically where I started almost 3 years ago! My original goal was 125? I set my calorie goal at 1350 for starters and worked out up to 3xdaily(10-45 min at a time). I got to 128, had a checkup where the doctor told me to stop trying to lose because I was at a healthy weight. Came down with a stomach bug immediately after and lost another 3lbs that week! I got down to 110 before my husband put me on exercise restriction and I went back to the doctor. Weight loss can become addicting, so just be careful. MFP really helped me to understand how much and what I was eating. I've basically been in maintenance for almost 2 years. I don't really eat "clean". I eat junk food almost everyday, but I mostly eat salad or veggies/fruit at lunch to make sure I get in my 5 a day.

    Good luck!

    I can see how weight loss can be addicting. A couple years ago I was SOOO obsessed with counting calories. Now I think I have a healthier mindset!
    How long did it take u to get down to 125?

    One thing that scares me about weight loss is that I don't want to lose my curves. Just shrink proportionally. Did u have that problem when u lost the weight?

    Also thanks everyone :) added you all!

    Idk..I lost the most off my chest first..but you can look at pictures I have in my home page. My measurements changed from:
    Chest 38-39 to 32
    Waist 30ish? To 25
    Hips 39-40 to 35
    It depends on your natural shape and if you end up with a higher level of bf or become very lean and muscular. I don't consider myself to be curvy, I look athletic and lean.

    I went from 148 in Feb(when I joined) to 125 by May. By the time school started in August, I was 116 and lost 2 lbs each of the first two weeks back.

    I'm 5'4". I have been as high as 180, 128 was my lowest. I bulked up to 142 and never cut well. I'm currently 144 (as in my profile pic). I'd love to be 130-135. 120 is not realistic for me. I looked a bit too thin at 128.

    I'm in the same boat as you. I'm currently 170 and 5'2, trying to get down to a 130-120lbs range. Sweets are my addiction too and I love eating out and food as well. But I'm trying to turn my life around for my health and my clothes. Hopefully we can help each other with our goals

    I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is 115 lbs. This weight should be fine because I have a small frame.

    I'm 5'5" 135.4 haha, and trying to get down to 120. Been having a bit of trouble with eating too much, now that I have more stamina to work out more. But it's still sloooowly coming off. Add me if you like.

    5'4" currently 158, medium frame, goal for now is 140.

    Great job on working out & eating healthier!!

    120 seems like a pretty low goal weight though, maybe try first for 135 and see how you feel when you get there.

    I think I'll do that for sure :) I just have a smaller frame and I've seen charts that show what a healthy weight for each frame size is and 120 is right in the middle.

    Yep! I'm 5'4" and currently 175lbs. 120lbs is my dream weight but I know it might not be realistic for me so initially I'd like to get back to my happy zone of 130-135lbs. I've just started tracking with MFP so feel free to add me everyone :smile:

    Add me. I am 33 years old. 4"11 and weigh 150lbs. My goal weight is 115. I have been on my journey for 5 years now. I made to my goal weight before but I gained it back and I feel like it's impossible to get back to my goal weight again since now I am in my 30s. I need to loose 25lbs
