Hi! I'm 5'5" and I'm working on getting fit. I htink I'd like to lose 25lbs more... but it's been so long I am not sure what that will look or feel like. :laugh:

Hi~ I am 5'6. I gained 15 lbs in about 10 months. I am now down 6 lbs! After I get to a weight where I see the fat is gone. ( 9 more lbs guessing) I then need to cut back the length of the cardio and pump back up my muscle bulk, definition and tone. This has been 2 months so far and a seemingly long process for me. Perseverance!!! Nice to meet everyone. Sandi

Hi everyone! Glad to be in a group that looks like it just formed and fits my height. I'm 46, 5'6" and weighed 254 when I began my new journey to lose weight on 3/29/12. Feel free to add me as a friend so we can support each other along the way. I know it sounds like alot....but my current goals are 1). to avg 2 lb loss a week and 2). to be at 200 lbs and/or under by October 23. I leave for Disney (Orlando, FL) that day and promised if I hit my goal I'd get my pic taken with Goofy and Pluto, LOL!! That will be my half way mark. I would eventually like to see myself get to 160lb.

I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 170. I put on the weight after back surgery and still trying to get back down to my "before surgery size". I never had a weight problem before that and made exercise a daily part of my routine, my lifestyle. Now I am having trouble getting back to that place! I joined this site for motivation and encouragement. I'm close to 59 yrs old and want to be awesome by that birthday!!!

I am 5'6" and I am stoked about getting in to shape! Its great to have some other people to go on this Journey To Health with!

Hi everyone! Would anyone like to be motivation partners? Here's a little about me and my goals:

I'm 23 years old, about 150 pounds (and 5'6"). I'm looking to tone my body as well as lose the fat on my hips and butt, as well as my arm flaps (lol). Having a child ruins your body!

I have a family so sometimes I lack motivation. I'm looking for someone who would like to send motivational texts or emails.

I need help eating better and getting off my butt and going to the gym, especially on days that I work!

Hi all! I am 45 years old and 5' 6 1/2", though most people tell me they think I'm taller. I currently weigh 240. When I started my lifestyle change on 4 April 2011 I weighed in at 399 pounds. My highest recorded weight was 433 in October 2008. I avoided scales, so this was the last time I weighed before April 2011. I have set my goal weight at 169 pounds. I have never been a normal weight - I weighed 103 pounds when I started 3rd grade, and was about 250 when I graduated high school (1984). The weight kept climbing up. I was a type 2 diabetic (since 2005), had high cholesterol (since 2010), and was on 4 meds for high blood pressure (1st med in 1994). Something clicked last year and I knew I had to reclaim my health before I started having serious health issues including medications for diabetes and high cholesterol. I set my mind that I WOULD do it this time and started changing my eating habits. By the time I lost 100 pounds late October, I was ready to add exercise to my lifestyle change and joined a gym. Boy, was that first visit to the gym a scary one! But I did it, and I now enjoy going to the gym. I have recently walked in two 5K's and can't wait for the next. My goal is to run a 5K next spring. I really, really hope to be to my goal weight by the end of this year. I joined MFP about 6 weeks ago and love this site! Friends are always welcome.
