    This says I’ll be 158 in 5 weeks so I’ll start with that[/quote]

    Dont beat yourself up if you dont reach that. Just make proper adjustments, asks questions and do research.

    I'm 5'7" too and have also been the wide range of 120-170. I'm currently 140 but trying for 125. I don't know if it will work though bc a natural set point for our height is around 140.

    I def need to be better about not snacking or backsliding if I feel like I've been "good" for awhile.

    Hi!! 👋👋

    Yes I'm looking to lose about 8kg (~17lbs)

    Anyone feel free to add me! I've been sending out friend requests to everyone but no one has accepted an I'm feeling kinda defeated...

    I've been a member since MFP pretty much started. Maintained for YEARS and was a cheerleader for so many friends here. Last year I slipped up though and gained ALL of the weight back (and then some) during my world travels and working as a chef. In dire need to get back to where I was!

    I'm trying to lose 10-15 lbs (SW: 210, CW: 150, GW: 135-140) and it's really hard. ;)

    It starts with that vision I talked about and what you will do to get there. It will be hard but if you create that image and use it to remind yourself just as you are about to eat said food that you know will take you away, you will snap out of it and stay focused. Just dont think it's over once you get there, remember it's a lifestyle.

    I will always preach this, even to myself, patience.

    I can’t believe I got here but I want to lose 20... I lift 5 days a week so I’m sure some weight gain is muscle but I have a wicked snacking problem. If I don’t eat chocolate each day I think I might die. And salty snacks... sweets... awful. Just jumped back on today so hopefully I can maintain the good eating. I cooked 2 days worth of chicken and have been eating 5oz every few hours with a veggie. That’s a start.... I’ll have to start mixing it up in a week. Right now chicken is a no-brainer for me....

    Me! I have about 14 left to go to reach my happy weight. However, wine makes me happy too. I am having an existential crisis...

    12lb down 15lb to go. I'm terible with sweets and chocolate. However, I've jumped onto a low carb diet in the last two weeks and I can literally walk past them. It's a really strange feeling. But it is definitely working and I was the biggest skeptic. Feel free to add me and watch my progress. New to my fitnes pal this week. Rich

    Me too! I’ve been so bad lately just wanting sweet stuff and I can’t seem to get to my goal weight, about 10kg more to get there. Could use friends in the same boat :)

    I only want to lose 15 pounds now. It's just seemingly taking so long. Good thing I'm patient. Or, maybe it's just that I never want to be up 90 pounds from where i am ever again.

    I'm tired stuck on my plateau so had my first pt session this morning for some strength training as hope some muscle building may kick start my sluggish metabolism. Plus two hours of tennis ... phew, however was feeling so smug then ate a huge piece of cake.... 😁😫.... I am my worse enemy. Trying to swap wine for g and t tonight.

    I am making progress but sooooo slow. I'm now at 128lbs and goal is 120lbs so half way. Problem is hand in hand with my weight loss is loss of muscle .... worried I'm going to be slim wobbly jelly. Working crazy long hours so not sure how to fit in resistance training on top of cardio.

    Cut your cardio workout in half and the other half resistance, or do circuits, that covers both. And with little to lose its best to take it slow, that will minimize the muscle loss.

    OP welcome :smile: - that was my original goal too, and 6 years later its still history along with a few extra. Stick with it, eat at deficit, track those calories, moving a bit more helps and weight loss will follow :smile:

    All the best.

    Hello Neighbor! (I'm in Germany :) )
    I'm mostly using this to maintain and monitor fitness now, but a couple years ago I came here to lost about 8 kg going from 65 to 57 kg (I'm 175 cm). I maintain now at about 57-58 kg, and use the site to try to monitor my eating habits for health and performance, (I'm a bit of a sugar fiend as well).
