    Never give up.. You just lost track of the way your should be eating and exercising.. I use to be 175 now 131. I know how you feel in 2000 i weighted 175 got to 144 and felt good then throught the years gained it all back. Then I got on here and it all changed. I did the calorie counting and exercised 30 min a day thats all you need.. And I made my goal weight in 4 months and keep it off. I dont log anymore I was getting bored with it after I made my goal but I do log my exercising because it keeps me motivated. Im her is you want to add me as a friend. I can tell you IVE BEEN WERE YOU ARE AT.. Its ok you can do this again and stay fit for the rest of your life.. Its not a DIET its a lifestyle change and you cant look back..

    Great idea for putting up photo of you at the weight you were BEFORE you got where you are now. Inspiration. I'm going to do the same thing! Anyway, I'm 5'2" and weigh 175 if you can imagine! And I really need to lose 50 lbs., but I will be happy if I can just drop 20 now. If I can do that, then I'll go for the next 20.

    5'4" starting weight was 170 a year ago (i was probably 180 at my heaviest though). I'm currently 135, and trying to lose the last 5-10 pounds and/or tighten up. I'll be posting progress pictures soon. Anyone feel free to add me!

    i started on MFP around that much and in 90 days only lost about 16 pounds. but you know what? i went from a 12 (okay; a 14 in denial! lol) to a six in 90 days! i THOUGHT i had to be around 130ish but really, i'm a 4/6 now hanging around 148ish. now i'm just toning. pick a size that is good for your body type and go for that. weight is so deceiving! sending a friend request. all the best.

    I have a similar goal (5'6 and 175 trying to get down to 130) but this is my first time on MFP. I've been logging in everyday and it has made me hyper-aware of how many calories I consume. Would love any suggestions on some low-impact workouts you all can give. I'm not exactly a gym person.

    I injured my Achilles tendon a while ago so I was looking for low impact workouts without a lot of twisting and bouncing. I found Ellen Barret. Her workouts are slower and more flowing and very Pilates/ballet/yoga inspired, but they have been more effective for me than the old keep going till you drop workouts (Insanity, Tae Bo, etc...). And I feel energized afterward instead of pooped. Other than that, the most effective calorie burner exercise I've found is walking. I keep a really quick pace so I burn about the same walking as I would jogging. Walking is also a great one for slimming down the waist.

    I'm in this place too! Started at about 180 (I'm 5'8"), gradually got down to 160 and was very fit after doing P90X. Went primal, felt amazing, lost all the jiggle and was pumped to start hitting the meat of the issue and getting down to a size six. Then life crapped all over me and I'm almost back where I started. Sigh.

    The stress makes it so difficult to say no to carbs and refined sugars. Plus, I've been so laid up by my anxiety disorder I became completely sendentary. Which just makes it worse. Got to get active!

    Looks like I'm finally stepping back on the wagon, but now I'm jiggly again just in time for summer. :( I really wanted to be down in the 130-140 area this year.

    I'm 5'4" and currently 172 lbs, but I started off higher at 207. I'd LOVE to get to the 130's (though at the current moment 160's would make me giddy I'm at a plateau >.<) feel free to add me :)

    I'm 5'6, currently 172lb, and trying to get down to 145-150lb. I've been bouncing around the 170lb mark for a few months now. Frustrating! But I can do this. Feel free to add me!

    5'5" started at 180, lost down to about 165 then gained it back again.
    Joined MFP Aug 2011 at 180, now down to 162. Would like to get to 150 then see where to go from there.

    My starting weight was 186 lbs (I'm 5'3). Right now I'm down to 156 and my goal weight is 135. I might go lower, but I'll have to see how I feel once I get closer to that weight. Feel free to add me! :)

    I'm now 173 and would eventually LOVE to be in the 130's, I'd even be happy in the 150's as a first goal.
