  • I'm finding this challenge late, but will join you guys. I am 5'4 but can't see myself lower than 120, you guys are soo tiny!! I am at 130 now...........AGAIN...........and frustrated because I was at 123 for a wedding recently and felt great! So if we know just how great slim feels, why can't we stay there????? (Labor Day weekend didn't help, either)
  • i'm in!
    starting - 158
    goal - 153 to 150!

    Blaming TOM for bloating and water gain and trying really really hard not to get discouraged and just pig out. This journey is really hard for me!!!

    EEEK. last week . 118.3

    this week 118.6

    i overate the whole week by just under 2000 calories. not evenly spread though. TOM is due in 5 days. im hoping for 116 by the end of next week (16th)
  • Well, I'm not 5'4" I'm 5'3" but I would LOVE to join in! I just started MFP up again and definately need the motivation to keep going and stay on track. I'm in the military so most of what I have is muscle mass so weight is hard to go by, but my goal is 130 by 01 Jan 2012 or a pant size 4.

    5'3"
    Start Sept 1: 150
    Goal by Oct 1: 143
    Goal by Jan 1: 130

    Great Job ladies. I started at 171 on the 1st down a 1 1/2 pound to 169.5! Things are going good, especially since it was a long holiday!

    My biggest problem= alcohol! However, I just had one Bloody Mary this weekend! Hope everyone has a great week!

    Weighing in a day late!! As of yesterday I had gained 2 pds (157lbs) (was it all the beer I drank over the 3 day weekend?) but as of this morning I am down another pound (156).

    My usual weigh in day is Friday, so I'm not too bummed about this! Will change my ticker tomorrow morning.

    Count me in, too. 5'4", currently 124. Would like to be 120 by 9/30. Been consistently under 1000 cal/day (usually around 800 cal/day) for 10 days, and have only lost 1 pound. Any suggestions?
  • I kicked 30 Day Shred up to level three this morning, so I would hope I would NOT mess up that workout by eating junki!!

    Ipaeplow: If you are exercising, you should definitely be getting more calories than <1000. You do not want your body to go into starvation mode. It is terrible for your body and any type of healthy weight loss.

    Hey...who said 5'4" was short....I thought all this time that I was average height...lol!!!!!

    I would love to join also. Current weight 175.5...would love to get closer to 170 by end of this month.

    I always considered myself average height also but it seems that on this board 5'4 is considered shorties:)

    Roller coaster week for me this week, it was TOM and i had water retention went up to 157 lbs. Today i am back down to 151.6 lbs. Yay!
  • I am in! I am 5'2 and 187lbs and I think losing 5lbs by the end of this month is a good goal. I would like to lose 10lbs by my birthday in November.
