    I'm right there with you-same current height and weight and same goal. I just started using this site today. Recording the quick just calorie method seems like it will work for me. Good luck to both of us. lessofellen

    If my after-body looks like your before, I'll be ecstatic. Fellow shorty here, and I look about three times your current size! Your body looks great to me! Good luck with your goal!

    Okay so I am 5'4 and I weigh now 154, I was 167 at the beginning of the year. I look NOWHERE as good as you! Heck I haven't looked that good since before my 2nd kid, I have 4 kids LOL IF I can get to your before pic I will be walking around practically naked everywhere! Okay not everywhere LOL but I'll be sooo happy, my goal weight is 135

    okay, i am so confused. is that you in the top pic? If so, you look fine the way you are. I'm also 5'1" and I weigh 153 right now. I've lost 13 lbs. so far on this site. I want to get to 135, but I'd love to be lower as well. 135 at my age of 42 seems a good weight and I'm comfortable. I don't think you need to lose. I personally thought it was your after pic. Also, if it is your starting pic, you already look no different than the one you want to look like. Plus, you don't look like the same person or body in the bottom pic.

    Oh my gosh, you look at fantastic at 155, but I understand the desire to always improve...you remind me of myself at twenty-eight, before kids. You have also inspired me to look as good as you do now-- I am under 5'2" and weighing 165-- last year I said good-bye to over 30 lbs--- we are unstoppable!!

    another thing, why are you posting this under success stories if you are just starting out and suposedly weight 155. I'm sorry, that can't be true if you are my height. My body looks no where near as good as your top pic, so this has to be a pic of you when you were AT 125ish already at some point. I just don't believe it. I see others agree.

    Your stomach looks fantastic! I'm 5'0 but I had a baby in 2010 and my stomach does NOT look like that! I'm about 126 right now and started at 158 on this site if that helps at all. :) Let trade stomachs though, lol

    I'm working on losing another 5 or so- but really I just want muscle, even if that number goes back into the 130's as long as I'm lean and muscular.

    Good luck, girl! Feel free to add me!

    Different body types can look VERY dissimilar even at the same weight and height...people are always shocked to hear how much I actually weigh...my mother gifted me with her hourglass shape.

    Why does it matter? Support her. She's here to improve whatever her body looks like currently, regardless of which picture she posted. Let's help her do that instead of asking her questions that insinuate that you think she is somehow being deceitful.

    Hmmm I'll trade you bodies!!! LOL I SOOOO wish I look like you already do :) You are gorgeous now - good luck in your journey to get where you want to be! I'm 5'2" and weigh 125 (used to weigh 190..yikes!) and I look nothing like you...of course I have never been a dancer or in sports so I've got some work to do! I know ppl who are the same weight/height can look completely different, you have been blessed and you've obviously worked hard to look like that. I've decided recently that being okay with my weight isn't enough - I wanna love what I look like as well and I can't get there by slacking off now. Anyways... just wanted to say you are already beautiful but keep working till you're happy! :)

    thanks again!!!! i have to say, i can work on my abs pretty hard, but my arms and legs are where im not loving at all.... and thats where i get most of the numbers on the scale from. my dad was a gym teacher and a health teacher (he passed away) and he always told me not to lift weights or do too much strength training because ill bulk up like a dude.... nice right lol. so okay, that leaves me with cardio.... but i have athletic endused asthma.... my body physically can do the work, but my lungs wont let me. ahh!

    Yw! I also have asthma, and I do LOTS of cardio (I've done 4 rounds of Insanity & currently doing a hydrid of Les Mills & Insanity)... I always use my inhaler before I start my workouts and its helped me get through it without having to stop due to a bad attack. You might wanna try that and see if it helps you at all :wink:
