Hello I am currently 140lbs. My goal weight is 120lbs. I am really struggling to lose 5 lbs. I am hoping to find friends and support.

Feel free to ad me also. :o) I'm also 5'2 and I also only have about 10 pounds to lose. Nicole

{{hugs}} Go to Target and buy 2 pairs of jeans. One in your current size, and one in a size smaller. Hang the smaller size in your bedroom so you can see it every morning when you wake up. Then go through as many of the success pages on this site that you can. It is truly inspirational to see how people can turn it around…

So I guess I should really focus on trying to reach my goal by the end of July. Gosh that's hard.

BTW, thank you so much for all your replies. :o) This is part of the reason I failed last Spring and gained back the weight. I work ridiculously hard for 2 months and try and lose 2 pounds a week and then I crash and gain it all back. I always want to just lose it all within a month!

I'm going to try this. It's going to be hard-my whole life I've thought: eating less, feeling hungry = lose weight I do some strength training. I'm working on JM 30 DS right now and when I'm done that I might try Ripped in 30 Days.

My profile pic is the pic I was using last spring when I was almost 10 pounds lighter. I suffered a running injury and subsequently put those 10 pounds back on this past fall. I guess I should update my picture-I just really liked that picture! :o) I'm quite short, 5 feet 2 inches, so 135 would be considered over weight…

lol…..a week and a half ago I decided to stop eating back all of my exercise calories bc I wanted to jump start my weight loss! lol. That's typical that that wouldn't work! :o) I want my 20's metabolism back. :o)

Thanks for the tips… I certainly don't want to get into the habit of purging via exercise. Those darn red numbers are just so alarming! :o)

I'm in! :o) SW: (Starting weight) 130.8 CW: (Current weight) 128.2 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 123.2 Weigh in Dates: 3/01: 3/08: 3/15: 3/22: 3/29: End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) Total weight lost:

I would also like to join in :o) This is my plan: I'm currently doing the 30 DS (Level 1 Day 6) . After the 30DS I plan on doing another JM dvd. I also alternate walking/running every day (20 minutes) except Sunday. I've been doing the MFP thing for over 2 weeks now. I've only lost 2 pounds. I'm finding it very difficult…

I'm from Calgary! Feel free to add me! :o)

It's hard getting back to fitness and calorie counting after a vacation! :o) You look like you are back on track though! Mu biggest obstacle right now is getting past this calf injury-I may just have to give up running and start doing something else… :o(

I can totally relate-I keep losing inches off my hips and chest-my waist measurement has barely budged....I actually don't want to lose any more inches off my hips....it's really frustrating. A few years ago I did do the low carb thing and that did take inches off my waist....but as soon as I fell off the low carb wagon-…

Holy Smokes! What an amazing transformation!! Congratulations-you obviously worked hard!

Great Thread :o) I totally sabotaged my diet last friday with Cheesecake and Pizza for dinner. I thought I deserved whatever I wanted on Friday night for dinner because I had worked sooooo hard all week long. BIG MISTAKE: I felt so crappy on Saturday and Sunday. It took my body 3 days to deflate from the excess…

I'm 39 . Married for 17 years-five kids: 17, 13, 11, almost 9 almost 7. Add me too if you'd like. :o)

^^^this^^^ Have fun with it Be persistent And try the "three bite rule" :o)

I recalculated my calorie goal based on TDEE/Body Fat % and BMI. It ended up being 1633.....I haven't started eating that amount though....I'm kinda scared ;o)

Strictly for running, especially up the last hill before I get home Nickleback-"burn it to the ground"

Seriously!! This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. :o)

I was also wondering what to do the next day....I binged last night and when I got on the scale this morning I was up by 2 pounds-and that's all I've lost so far in the past 3 weeks!! The binging sucks because it ruins my whole week of good eating. I guess the best thing to do is just get back to clean good eating, and…

my mom also had breast cancer and was advised to stay away from soy. A year before she was diagnosed with breast cancer she started drinking soy milk. I stay away from anything that contains soy.

That is AMAZING!!!! You completely transformed yourself! {pat yourself on the back!!}

this just makes me want the REAL poptart ice cream sandwich even more....

Wow-that 2 pounds looks like 10-you look fantastic! Way to go! I'm on day 6 level 2 30 DS ...I hope I get results like yours! WTG! Thanks for sharing. :o)

I'm 5'2" and I guess I'm small framed-my wrist is less than 6inches. I'm 126 right now and am hoping to get back down to 110-115. I feel best when I'm below 120. I'm running and currently doing the 30ds (day12). Feel free to add me! Nicole

What an awesome success story!! I actually shred a few tears at the end. You are my hero! Thanks for sharing your story. :o)

WOW-that is an amazing transformation!! Those are the results I want!!! Thanks for sharing. :o)

when I feel like ice cream I usually treat myself to a fudgsicle-80 calories/low fat :o)
