    I am 5'6" and weighing 204. I can't wait to get below 200 it's on my mind constantly. I am running a half marathon in 7 weeks, I'm hoping this training will help me get below the 200's. I started at 230. My highest weight was 299.8 (prego with twins). They are almost 3!

    I'm 5'6". My starting weight was 228, my current weight is 190, and my goal is 150. I've been a bit distracted the last month or two, and haven't been good at logging, although I am watching what I put in my mouth (keeping track in my head). Need to get back to tracking. I've been working on this since April of 2011...

    Hi there. I understand what you are going through. My weight has always been an issue for me. There are times in my life I was around 150 and feeling pretty good, then something would happen that caused major stress, and before I knew it, I was up in weight. I am 5'5" and weigh 220. I want to get back down to about 150 which I know is a healthy weight for me. Feel free to add me! The more friends with similar goals the better! BTW - I work in Marketing too (not a teacher though). :happy:

    Hey ladies! I am 5' 6", and I had a start weight of 189. I joined in mid-September. I've been taking things at a comfortable and realistic pace, and I am down 19 pounds. My initial goal was 160, but now that I am down to 170 I've decided that my goal weight is between 145 and 155, depending on how much muscle I build in later stages, and how I am feeling about myself, my body and my habits. I figure this is something that I'm sticking with forever, so the real "goal" is being healthy and staying fit!

    I am 5'6" and was 178 about 3 or 4 years ago. Got down to about 150, then some pounds started creeping up again and went up to 165. Got down to 160 when I started this and now I'm at 153! Trying to get to 145 and sustain!

    This has been great to work with and I see progress most weeks since I've joined.

    Great job everyone!

    Hey! I'm 5'6'' & my goal is somewhere around there. Ideally, I'd like to be anywhere from 135-145. Over the last 12 months I've lost about 50 lbs of baby weight and 20 lbs of pre-pregnancy weight. Hoping to finally reach my goal by summer. Good luck to everyone!! :-)

    I'm 5'5'', does that count? 150 is my goal too. My baby just turned 3, and I'm still working on getting that pregnancy weight off. I could definitely use friends & encouragement.

    I'm 5'6. I was almost 200..then dropped to 175 for forever. Now Im at 138

    My goal is 135 . My rec to everyone. TONE. Im still not pleased at 138 and I highly doubt 3 pds will make the difference. I still have alot of belly pudge :(

    I'm 5'5". My goal is somewhere between 145-150 lbs. I started at 171, and I'm 160 now, but I believe I've hit a plateau...3 weeks no real change....
    Help I don't know what to do about that!

    Hey there! My original goal was much lower than this but I've bumped it up for now. We are about the same height and everything so I'd love to work with you towards our goal. It'll be fun. :)

    Me too! I'm 5'6" and I started a couple years ago at about 190. I'm, now at about 160 and I can't seem to get lower. All I want is for my BMI to be in that healthy range of about 25! I'm so close I can taste it! Thanks for posting, it feels good to know I am not the only one out there struggling. Keep working at it! I'm still trying too! :)

    YES! I'm about 5' 6" and looking to get down to about 145-150. I hit a plateau at about 155, and it's always a struggle to get past that. Working hard to break that barrier this time around!

    Good Morning -

    I started a few months ago, and fell off the band wagon. I was 205 at my highest..looking to get down to 150. I'm 5'6" and currently at 190. I would love to chat sometime, don't really interact with very many people on here and it would be nice to have somoene who is in the same boat. Hit me up and we can chat. Thanks!

    -Ashley
