    I'm 5'6" and currently at 142. I'd like to try to get down to 135 and see how well I can maintain that weight.

    Hi! I am 5'4" and 141, shooting for 132. Weight has snuck up on me and now seems to refuse to leave. I am ok on the calorie counting now (most of the time), but am really struggling about committing to exercise. It's all fits and starts, then falling back into sluggishness. I know no one on this site so am hoping the group will be good for motivation. It's so hard! (Also recovering from a sprained ankle so walking currently ok, but no running for me.)

    Hi! I'm 5'6 and my current weight is 138 lbs. My goal is 130 lbs, but for the moment I seem to be stuck at 138-140 lbs and it's very frustrating! That's why I joined MFP, because if you change nothing, nothing will change! =)

    Hi All.. I am about 5' 4 1/2" , around 148.. Would like to be 140 with 19/20% bf.. Going to start focusing on doing combo of weight training (at home) nothing fancy and cardio.. I have always seem to carry my weight well even when I was about 183 starting last year after having my son.. Feel free to friend me for some support..

    Hi I'm 5'8" and 140 lbs my goal is to lose the last 15lbs I gained during my pregnancy and to tone my body.... Feel free to add me let's all do this together :wink:
  • Hi all!

    I sound almost identical to some of you; it's certainly nice to know I'm not alone! I'm 5'6" and back in January I weighed about 160lb. I'm currently about 142lb but really I'd love to get back to 120/125lb which is what I weighed when I first met my OH 2.5 years ago.

    I could really use some new friends on here to keep a check on me each day so please feel free to add me!

    I'm 5"9, 145 and trying to get down to the 135-137 range, while adding muscle (I've lost 5 lbs thus far). I like lifting, HIIT, and eating semi-clean... some of the time. Feel free to add if you have similar interests/goals!

    I'm 144 lbs and my daily goal is 1480. It's tough. I didn't realize before this app that I ate so much! What's your daily goal?

    My daily goal is about 1600.

    Hello! I am 5"3 140lbs hoping to shed about 20ish lbs! It seems like a lot of us are alike in our stats. We can do it!

    I'm 5'6 and about 130 pounds, and I'm hoping to get to 110-115 pounds or a size 4/6. Since I know it will be really hard to lose those last stubborn pounds I'm going to start paying close attention to how my body feels and looks. I also want to maintain my lean muscle that I've worked hard for :)

    I'm 5'5" 141lbs at the moment - my goal weight is 130ish, but I'm looking to tone up more than "get skinny" - I'd be happy to stay 141 is it was all muscle :)

    When I started I was 140, trying to get down to 125. I'm trying to tone. I'm now around 133. Add me! I could use some encouragement! :)

    I'm 141 right now and my goal is to be around 130 and to get toned. When I started using MFP last month, I was 150. So far, so good ;-)

    I swear my body goes on STRIKE at 140. I've gone from 157 to 137 since April (I'm 5'4") but a few have creeped back on and I'm smack dab at 140. How do I get it through to my body that 130 would be a much better place?

    Anyone in the same boat please add me!
  • I am 5'1" and after a 2 pound loss, I now weigh 145, but I would love to be around 120 pounds eventually.
  • I'm 5'8" and around 141-142... setting sail for about 122. down ten pounds so far.

  • I am 5'5 and 143 and i'm trying to get down to 135 :) it is sooo hard with the last 10-15 lbs.

    I'm 5'6" and weighed 140.8 this morning. I've been bouncing between 138 and 144 since March. I have been working out a lot and even though my weight has kind of stalled here my clothing sizes have gone down and things feel a lot firmer. I'm trying to focus on that more than the number on the scale, but I'm finding it really hard not to measure fitness by my weight.

    I have six pounds to go to reach 140. I am 5' 4". Not sure where I would like to be. I can't go a low as most girls here due to my age. I am 61 and if I were to get to 120 or so...I would look dead.
