    Yup! I just joined and have about the same goal. 5'4'' and want to lose 25 lbs. I need to lose 20lbs to get back into a healthy BMI category, but I thought I'd go for 25 before July.

    I'm using my 30th birthday as a marker as well. That will be in about 5 weeks and have about 8 lbs to lose before then.

    i too am 5ft 4 and need to look 20 lbs. i don't think i've figured it out right yet though as i'm eating 1200 net but it says that i'm in a 460 deficit and my loss this week will only be 0.9lbs. i can't figure out whether i need to eat more or less, e.g. 1200 then exercise. i did that last week and only lost 1/2 lb?

    what are you eating/netting at? what is your weekly weight loss goal?

    well, I am in the same vote as you--I would like to loose 20lbs by July also. We share the same Birthday Month! Not sure of your age, but I do find it difficult(getting in the exercise) at my age (69). But I decided this was my resolution for this year. to get of my but and move! good luck on you journey-have a positive attitude and im sure you will prevail.

    Maybe a half inch shorter.... And I've already lost a few. I still probably should lose another 15. I'll add you...

    i only been doing this for 2 days and im desperatly trying not to jump on and off the scales i will weigh my self thursday morning and im hoping after a week to have lost 2 llb or more . i think its doable as i have been exercising more already and intend to keep it up i read somewhere to lose 1llb of fat you need to have saved or exercised 3500 calories so if cutting by 500 from a normal daily intake its possible to lose a 1 llb in a week

    im currently on 1200 calls a day i was gonna stick at 1400 but then i wont lose so much and i really want to be under 11st by the end of the month
