    Hi, I am 5’2 and 165lbs. My goal is to be 130-120 again. I have been trying to get under the 160 mark for months but nothing. I know I have a big problem when it comes to food, I am an emotional eater and evening is the hardest for me. But for 2 week now I have started to drink 2 protein shakes, and according to my scale I have gain 12 lbs. But my pants fits the same and any one I ask if it looks like I have gain 12 lbs. says no. I have been to the gym doing cardio and weights. But when the scale doesn’t show any less I am starting to feel so discourage. I don’t know how to lose this weight. I get so scared to eat that when I do put something in my mouth its anything because I am so hungry. I have also found out that I have to do some gluten free diet, so whole grains are out for me.

    Hello everyone! It's nice to see so many ladies who all have about the same 40 or so pound goal. I started faithfully logging back here on MFP in February and I weighed in at 180.6. As of this morning on the scale I was 158.6. I'm 5'7" and I want to get down to about 145 and then I'll reassess when I get there. Feel free to add me. Oh and by the way, I was 256 at my heaviest back in 2005!

    I was 160 and my original goal weight was 130, but I've lost so many inches lifting weights that my new goal is 140, but I'm pretty happy at 145. Don't let that number control you.

    I'm 5'2" and currently weigh about 163lbs at the moment. Trying to drop back down to 135 (medium body frame), since that always seemed to be my usual number before and after I was pregnant. That's also about the weight range where I can comfortably fit in my favorite clothes!! Hopefully this time around I'll have a tighter body instead of skinny fat :)


    Just been so lazy the last few years that my weight climbed without me realizing until my loose clothes got tight... :blushing:

    I'm 5.5 highest weight was 168 - started MFP in Jan @160, and now at 142 lbs. Feeling great as I am in a good routine of eating well and exercising. If you want to be friends, send me a request @ mariettatc. I lost 15 lbs by changing my eating habits, and exercise 3-4 times a week in the first 5 months - so it was healthy progression.

    Currently I doing an all raw diet, fruits (berries & green apples -only), veggies, fish & eggs,nuts. It has helped me "cleanse" my system of toxins. I just added chicken and more fruits to my diet. I lost only 3.5 pounds on this program (in 3 weeks) but, have gain a more tone body, and reduced my hips, waist and breast measurements by 5 inches. I feel like my body is operating so much more efficiently, as I'm stronger and have more energy than before. The first week is the pits though :) I now enjoy eating well balanced meals and actually love eating salad and veggies!

    My original goal was 15 lbs, which I kept low as I wanted to have "success" and now I'm trying for another 7 lbs to get to 135 by end of August. That would be a total of 30+ lbs so I'm stoked to reach it.

    You can do it, just stay positive ::bigsmile

    This is a great thread! I'm 5'7 and 166. I've been on MFP on and off, but I'm hoping to stick with it this time. My first goal is to get back down to 156, which was my weight for most of college. Then, once I hit that, my final goal is 140-145 depending on muscle, etc. I would love friends in the same boat a me!

    I'm right there with ya sisters! I'm stuck at 160 after maintaining 140# for 3 years. Life, stress etc got in the way and bumped me up gradually over the last year. Still going to WW after 6 years (starting weight 191). I know I can do this. Love this website; better than e-tools.

    I'm right there with all of you ladies!!! I am 5'4" and currently 172. After baby #3 I KILLED myself for a year and lost 70 pounds. I looked and felt amazing. Then I had baby #4 and put EIGHTY pounds back on. I was 219 a week after my daughter was born. It has been a nightmare getting the 46 pounds off so far and has taken me 2 years. It was so much easier to lose last time. I'm sure age is a big factor, but I am so determined to get the last 27 pounds off!!! Would love to add some friends for motivation, I sent a few of you requests, but anyone feel free to add me. I only have like 4 friends right now...lol.

    My goal weight as of now is 145, but I would love to go even lower than that...135 would be amazing. I didn't make that my goal because honestly I just don't think I can get that low. 145 is more attainable. Maybe once I get there I can get a little extra push from friends to make it the rest of the way:-) Please add me if you like!
