I'm 5'4. Like you I have a big bust and booty ;) I would love to get down to 145 lbs. The holidays really set me back and I'm currently around 165 lbs.

We have similar stats, although you didn't list height. I"m 5'4, currently 162 lbs and a size 12. My goal is to get down to a size 10 and 145 pounds. I also started as a size 16. Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me as a friend.

Very similiar: GW: 145 CW: 163 SW: 189 Height: 5'4 Age: 41 Sex: Female

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. We've decided to look at Sam's Club tonight for a treadmill. He likes to run and I like to walk/jog so it makes sense for us.

I live in the great state of Georgia too! Feel free to add me.

It's crazy to see how many calories food has! I used to love nachos-- but no more. At Red Robins I like to get the small hamburger with a side salad with lite ranch dressing. Then I snag a few of my son's fries and call it a meal!

I'm planning to get married on May 19th 2012. Still in shock about it since we've only known each other for 6 weeks, but I know he is THE ONE!!! I'd like to reach my goal weight by the wedding (145 lbs--I'm 162 at the moment). Unfortunately Thanksgiving set me back a little but I'm determined to get back on track. And my…

That's really sad. As others said, it's more a reflection on her than you. Use it to inspire yourself!

Wow! Amazing!

Go to the library, take baby, and check out some exercise DVD's. I have been doing "Pilates for Weight Loss" the past few days and can already see a difference. Make sure you get some books for baby while you are there (can you tell I'm a librarian?) :)

Good job, Lisa! We were planning on getting married at the courthouse but I decided I wanted it to be a bit more special. We have a small ampetheater on the river with built in benches that can be rented so we will be using that for the wedding and having the reception in a private room in a restaurant. I'm praying for no…

Hummus is one of my favorite foods. My bodybuilding finacee is in love with it because of its high nutritional content. I like to splurge and eat if with a serving of pita chips. But it is also good with salad and raw veggies. Baba Ghanouj is another delicious middle eastern food made from eggplant with a similar texture.

I have been a yo you dieter for years. I'm only 5'4 but last winter I climbed to my highest weight ever--197 lbs. I was horrified to be so close to 200 lbs and my doctor told me I might have to go on cholesterol lowering medication. I'm a recovering alcoholic and have been successful with that, so I apply some of the same…

Yo comprendo, pero mi espanol es muy malo. Quiero practicar mucho. Gracias!

Thanks!

Can't get the pictures to work. Sorry.

I met a wonderful man a few weeks ago and already we're talking marriage (and my last name is not Kardashian ;) Feel free to add me.

You can friend me! We are the same height and have the same goal weight. It will be fun to journey together.

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but in the South we have a store called "Cato's." I buy a lot of my work clothes there. They are affordable and fit my body well. I notice a lot of African-American women shop there, and though I'm white, I joke with my black friends that God intended me to be a "sister"…

I gained around 50 pounds after going on Bi-polar meds. The meds made me really tired (to the point I would have happily slept all day if I could have) and also increased my appetite. A very bad combination. After four years I have started taking the weight off. I reduced the amount of one of the medications I take. I stay…

I remember how heartbreaking the five years I tried to conceive a baby were-- I cried every month my period came. Sadly I never have been able to have biological children and have no explanation as to why I can't. It just wasn't in God's plan for me. However, God has given me a wonderful son through adoption and now that…

Wow! What a hottie you've become ;) Thanks for the inspiration

I'm a military brat but for the past 30 years I have been firmly planted in the South Eastern U.S.-- 12 years in Alabama and the past 16 in Georgia. Hey, ya'll!

Welcome. My mother had a heart attack in her early 50's and this year, at age 68, we nearly lost her again. Heart disease is no joke. Good luck on your journey. Add me as a friend if you wish.

Welcome. I'm close to your age and also single. We single ladies have to stick together! Add me as a friend if you'd like.

Sounds like you need a new friend. If you can't go to a bar without drinking, even when you want to, it sounds like you may have a problem. I know this is a diet forum, not an alcohol forum, but I happen to have a drinking and a food problem. Sometimes people have both. I had to focus on the alcohol problem (12 step group,…

Amazing!!! Congrats!

Fantastic! You are an inspiration!
