Looking for inspiration - anyone else here about 150 lbs...

I am exactly 150 lbs. and 5'1 I'm hoping to lose 15-20 more. You can add me if you want.

Yes! I am 149 looking to get down 15- 20 lbs.

I started there, hoping to get to 134... That's the magic number in my head. About 10 more pounds to go!

Time is one of the hardest things for me as well. I am trying to be better about portion control. I am only 5'2, so eating too much can pack it on quickly.

My new pic has my head cut off, anyone know how to fix that?

Have a great weekend!

hey, I'm 5ft 2 and want to lose 20lbs. we all can motivate each other.

Me too and I'm a little under 5'4! Add me if you like.

Hello,

I am right at 150 (again), heading for 125 this time. There are two support groups that I know of for shorties. There are probably more than that, but I just know of two. I believe one is a group and the other is a forum. If you look under motivation you should be able to find them.

The forum that I am part of is at

Reading everyone's success is really giving me inspiration. I have 20 lbs to go to reach 150, but add me if you want. I need inspiration too

I started this journey on march the 1st with 160 pounds /72,8 kg and hoping to weigh 115 pounds/ 52 kg by september by staying below 1200 kcal per day.

I wish everybody here good luck:)

Welcome to MFP!

I'm starting up a women's weight loss challenge. It starts April 14 and ends July 21. The reason why it doesn't start earlier is because I'm already participating in one run by someone else that ends April 7.

Every participant will contribute a $10 gift card before the challenge begins. Weigh-ins will be every Saturday and it will be based on percentage so it's fair to everyone. Each week there will be a weekly winner who will receive one of the $10 gift cards. At the end of the challenge there will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall winner who will split the remaining gift cards (with 1st place getting the majority, etc.)

There are 22 participants so far. If you're interested in participating just leave a comment or send me a message if you have any questions!

Thanks!
Hilary

I'm very interested in the Challenge! Please tell me where to send the gift card. Thanks, Lori

I stand about 5'2" ...Im currently 150lbs down 12 lbs from 162....My goal at this point is to make it down to 130-I just joined this program so i could continue to find fun and productive ways to the shed the next 20 lbs!

I forgot to add that I am 5'1. The things I have been doing lately is really a mixture of Wii Zumba, Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD's, walking with strength bands as well to help firm my arms. this past week I have started to go running in the evening around my block. I can't stick to one thing, I get bored really easy doing the same thing everyday. After this weekend I will begin a round of Turbo fire since I ahven't done that in a long time. As far as food goes, in february when i really focused on my weight I started out with weight watchers which I love, it works if you are consistant with it, but then 2 weeks ago because i absolutly had to get down to at least 146 by this weekend (im in the navy reserve and I have my physical test this weekend and I was past my maximum weight I could weigh in the Navy so I had to lose weight) I started atkins and while it sucked the first couple days I must say it has made me realize how little vegetables I was eating before and how much sugar I was consuming, but now that am am at my first goal weight I can slow down again and will probably go back to weight watchers, but haven't really decided yet.
