    I am 5'5" as well. I started MFP on June 21st at 208 lbs as of this past Tuesday the 16th I weighed 191.4 lbs. So I have lost 16.6 lbs. I have set my GOAL weight at 137 lbs. When I graduated from high school in 1993 I weighed around 130-135 and no one ever said I was too skinny. Sorry I don't have any pictures - I will get some soon. I have been battling my weight since I turned 21 15 years ago. I just turned 36 and decided that it was time to quit playing around with the one and only body God gave me and take care of it so I can be around a long time for my only child (daughter) that is 5 years old.

    Heaviest Weight - 214 lbs
    SW MFP 208 lbs (JUNE 21)
    CW 191.4 lbs (AUGUST 16)
    GW 137 lbs (AS LONG AS IT TAKES - SLOW AND STEADY WILL WIN THIS RACE)

    Heh - i'm big boned, and after my DEXA scan last week, i've got the numbers to prove it. I've got bone density of 111% of average. :D

    My "goal weight" is around 135 lbs, but i'm more concerned with getting my bodyfat down to about 20%. Those numbers should be in the same range, though, based on current numbers and predictions.

    My heaviest was about 212, i was at 199 in December, started at the gym in mid-February at 185, and this morning i'm at 166. Slow and steady, right? I've lost about 12% bodyfat in that timeframe.

    Keep up the good work, ladies! :)

    I'm 5'5" as well.

    GW: 135.0

    Does anyone else weigh thesmelves every day, just for your own day-to-day accountability? I used to hate weighing in and thought it was a bad idea to do so every day (I fluxuate a little), but now I feel motivated to not eat before bedtime knowing I get on first thing in the morning...

    I weigh every day and log my weight on a free site called Physicsdiet.com which does statistical smoothing of the numbers to show you a trend line, even if the daily weights fluctuate all over the place. I'm pretty much a science geek and like seeing my real trend hidden in the zigzagging daily weights.

    thought this would be an interesting thing to do so I'm going to give it a try.
    Seems interesting. At first I had accidentally put my height ast 5' 0" which put me as obese. I cried! Then I fixed it. whew!

    Hey there! I'm 5'5.5 and am big boned. I didn't really take before pictures and I should really do so. Seeing all of your pictures is really motivating and I'm sure to see pictures of yourself after the loss has to be equally as inspiring.

    Here are my stats:

    HW: 320
    MFP SW: 297

    good for you :) for sharing. It is hard to share weight, isn't it?

    I'm actually 5' 4.5" . I don't really have starting pics because like a lot of over-weight people I am never in front of the camera, but rather willing to be the photographer!!!! But I'll share my stats...not that anyone other than my cat knows my weight!!!

    SW 194
    CW 192
    GW 150

    I could set my goal lower, but I'm looking at a big birthday (50) in 6 months and will decide when I reach goal if that number looks good on me (and it's been a long time since I've been there!!!)

    So here's to our journey and may we all be big "losers".
  • You look so tiny in the second pic...great job!

    I'm 5'6", so I'll join as well...

    CW 184
    GW 148 (I originally thought 150, but I'd love to see the 140"s on my scale :-)

    I'm stuck in the 180's!!! I was at 176 before my vacation and can't seem to get my mojo back, thus I decided to join MFP. Heading to a circuits class tonight, and hoping to stay out of the chips tonight :-)

    Hey! I'm 5'5.5 this is me:

    SW: 155 (28% body fat)
    CW: 139 (21.9% body fat)
    GW: 134 or 19%

    It's amazing seeing the range of people's goal weights due to build and other factors. Keep it up!

    I am pretty much the same height as you and I have just started at exactly the same start weight that you were!! I'd love to know how long it took you to get down to 184 as it's my goal to be in the 180's by New Year and I want to know if thats realistic!!

    I also have pretty much the same goal weight as you so it's nice to know I'm not being to optimistic by wanting the 140's on my scale!!
