I'm so excited to see so many women on here starting in the same place. And hearing all the success stories is really encouraging. Thanks for all the support!

HI,
I am 5'4 and half.....
Last year before I started MFP I was 190-200lbs
starting MFP in February I was 180lbs
CW today is 137lbs
GW is 135lbs but may continue
43 lbs lost!

Size 16 to size 6 and it feels great. (and some of my size 6 are getting too loose) It has been motivation, dedication to MFP, some hard work on the Treadmill and a little creative meal planning that has worked for me. I have had some very frustrating days (weeks when the scale did not move and some rewarding days when it dropped dramatically.....but the constant has been entering everything I eat and drink so I am accountable. I have not done much on the forums as I only discovered them awhile ago...I do look and get tips and answers to questions. Good luck to you and if you need friends to help fell free to add me.

I had lost 19 lbs before joining MFP since april 2011. It has taken me a while, a few setbacks and a lot of gains and downs. But hoping to get out of the slump and getting down under 200 lbs

My highest weight ever was about 224. I started here around 209. I am currently bouncing between 155 and 160.

I've really cleaned up my diet, didn't eat bread for over a year, no sodas for almost 2 years now, boosted my protein and drink 1-1.5 gallons of water per day.

However, i have also gone from being mostly sedentary to being a gym fiend - i have a personal trainer, and i lift weights 8-9 hours per week, plus about 6 hours of varied cardio. And now that it is summer time, i am swimming a couple of hours a week.

I went from a size 18 to a loose size 8, can wear 4s and 6s in some brands. I also had a lower body lift in March, which did wonders for my self esteem. The surgeon took off 6 pounds of excess skin, but i did not need any lipo at all.

I am 43, and i've had 7 babies.

My husband has been so motivated by my transformation, he has dropped 80 pounds and looks even better than when we met almost 20 years ago.

If i can do it, so can you!

mcpherson4 · June 2012

I am 5'4" and my starting weight was 199. I am now 183. Not success story, but I am losing. Goal weight is 150, maybe a bit less. One pound/One day at a time. I already feel better. Good to know we are in this together.

Danab1976 · June 2012

I'm 5'2 and was 256 at my wedding 6 years ago - i'm now 144 with a goal weight of 130.

I discovered spinning 2 years ago and that really set me on the path that I'm on today -it's intensity level is what it took to keep me motivated and making progress. Keep on going! It's not easy at all - but it's 50% what you lose (weight/body fat) and 50% what you gain (confidence, self-worth/self-love, positive connections). Good luck!

littleneck · June 2012

I am 5'4, was 188 lbs:flowerforyou: & I am 73 years old,cannot exercise too easily due to severe arthritis.Thought I was too "old"to lose weight. I cut out all junk(ice cream,candy bars) and just ate 1/2 of my regular foods-do water aerobics(sometimes!) and after 11 months have lost 35 lb .keep going you will be AMAZED at how great you feel with a 30 lb loss.good luck

I finally added some strength training into my regimen (30 Day Shred). Even though I hung on the lbs for a few weeks while my body adjusted, I dropped inches for sure. I'm also starting to drop some of the lbs now that my body is use to the strength training. I have a family beach vacation starting August 4th and I'm really aiming to be at 155 or lower. I think it's possible!
