Hi, I am, as you might have guessed, 5 foot 5 in the range of 190-200lbs but I've lost all motivation. I'd like to here sucess stories of women who've dropped maybe 50lbs? My goal is 130lbs.

I just kinda hope it reminds me of what I CAN be with a lot of hard work! :)
thank you all :)

    well, i haven't dropped 50lbs but i was 195lbs on january 24th and as of my last weigh-in (this past saturday), i was 163.4 so that's 31.6lbs lost. i personally couldn't go down to 130lbs just because of body type. i would look sickly. i need about 10 more pounds (i think). i hit a plateau for about three weeks at one point and i was 172 and it drove me nuts because i was doing everything "right". exercising, staying within my calories...sometimes all it takes is changing one little thing. i ended up working out more and eating different foods. and then the weight started falling off again. don't get discouraged. u can do it!

    That's amazing! Well done! I just said 50lbs cause thats about as much as I need to loose. My doctor told me I needed to get down to 130 for health reasons. But this is inspiring, thank you!
