    SW 178
    Started My Fitness Pal 6/5/12
    149lbs
    Today
    CW 145
    Goal 135

    I am 5' 4"

    By Sep of 2011 I had lost down to 143 but then gained and lost the same 10 lbs for 8 months ..... Never able to get any lower. I was looking for a calorie counting app and came across My Fittness Pal. When I calculated my calorie intake I finally understood why I was having a hard time losing weight even though I excercise quite a bit.

    My husband I and started this journey together in Feb 2011..... He was 277 lbs and I was 178. Changed our diet to fresh foods and dropped fast food and things that come in a box. We also started excercising. He is now at 190 (6'1")..... That is an 87 lb loss. His weight just sort of melted off and my was consistent till it stopped in Aug 2011. Started My Fitness Pal 15 days ago (6/5/12) and have lost 4 lbs.......so as of today am at a 33 lb total loss. It can be done but it takes time and commitment.

    I'm 5'4 and I'm over 200lbs...
    My goal weight is 150...

    I started Zumba about 4/5 weeks ago... It's a huge help and it's fun!!! Not sure how much I lost since I didn't weigh myself before I started taking the class. Still looking to do something else, like weight training.

    Good luck to everyone!!!!

    I am in the same 5'4 ; 200 (215) lb boat. I started working out at curves during lunch and elliptical after work. So far the scale hasn't moved much, but I haven't been good on my food portions either. I am trying to eat healthier and more often. Hopefully that transition will make my calorie cutting easier.

    I'm 5'3" and starting weight 190 lb. My current goal is to get to 161 lbs, although if I manage to hit that, I'd like to keep going and lose a bit more.

    My motivation/will power is terrible so taking it a day at a time.

    I've lasted 3 days so far lol but have kept within my target calories.

    I was doing the atkins diet but i got bored with it and decided to try and count calories. . . this is week two and my weight really has not moved, but thats my own fault for letting it all go this weekend for fathers day with my dad. Im back on track and hoping to lose some more weight. I hope calorie counting and exercise will work for me much like atkins did without the boredom =-D Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
