    I am probably needing to lose about 30 lbs. I won't step on the scale at the moment but I am probably close to 160. I was flexing betwee 135 and 141 when I met my husband about two years ago and I felt very comfortable with that weight. I am only 5'2 but if I get down too much more than that I look too skinny - maybe that has something to do with my age - I am 47 and I think too skinny as you get older is not necessarily attractive.

    I am taking a personal training class 3 times a week. Trying to be good at logging in my foods and staying within my calorie range. I have been craving food and I am sure it is from the holidays as I had a ton of comfort foods. I've been thinking of doing a Jay Robb Fruit flush to help me get back on tract, but I don't want to lose a work out night at my class and you are not supposed to work out heavy on the fruit flush and it is 3 consecutive days. Hmm - trying to find a way around that but still get the benefits of the flush.

    Have you tried a protein shake? Its a good way to curb your cravings without upping your calorie intake. I use ice, water and one scoop of chocolate protein powder (I buy whey with no additives from GNC) and blend it and it taste like a smoothie - but only about 120 calories and the extra protein will help you not crave!

    I'm 5'2 as well, 26 years old and currently 159lbs. Looking to get down somewhere around 130-140lbs. Hell I'd be happy just to be at your current weight at this point (that was my *normal* weight all through my undergrad...then I met my boyfriend haha).

    I started a couple of days ago too! I wanna lose 20 pounds. We're doing the Biggest Loser contest at my work and it definitely helps having others involved and doing it together. :)

    I just started MFP yesterday and I need to lose about 25lbs. I had a baby in September and it is time to shed those pounds. Good luck with your weight loss. I think this site and it food journal really helps hold you accountable for your actions, so that should help.

    5'10 and 160 here. I would love to lose 15; if I lose 25, I would be delighted. My stumbling block is my schedule. Like a lot of people, I work full time and have two little children who require a lot of attention. (And I want to spend time with them!) I'm bad about packing my lunch; I also eat their leftovers and snack when I get home. But I am committed! No more leftover fish sticks or pasta for me.

    Hey everyone I am new to mfp. I had a baby boy two and a half years ago, and my weight shot up to 150 from 110. I was able to get back down to 120 a year afterward. Then, I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was 16 months old and gained even more weight than I did with the first pregnancy. I reached an all time high weight of 170 on the day I had her. Now four months later, I am at 133. I would like to lose between 20-30 lbs. I think I look best at 110-115 lbs (which was always my weight prior to pregnancy) because I have am only 5'1 with a small frame. I am going to try to fit in as much exercise as possible, but I am finding it hard with teaching full time, raising a toddler and newborn, and working on my doctorate. Do any mothers of young kids who work full time have any tips for fitting in exercise?

    I'm 5'11" and I started out at 195 lbs, but my goal is between 160-165. I started a month ago from today, and i've lost 12 lbs so far! I just want to get in better shape and become the athletic person I used to be. Also, I've been needing new clothes for a while now, but I refuse to buy clothes that fit me while weighing 195.
