I like it!!! :smile: What a good idea for a challenge. I'm certainly in. Over the last few weeks the exercise has slipped so I really do need to get back into it again.

I've been going to a local class 2 or 3 times a week for the last few months, and I absolutely love it! It's a really fun way to exercise - our class is like a social night out with great music and it burns lots of calories. I don't think my legs have ever been so toned before. Definately try it, though I'll warn you it…

Hi. I'm 5'2 and currently 151lbs. I've sent a friend request. :smile:

My plan is to lose at least one more lb before the holiday, then maintain my weight over Christmas and start again losing in the new year. I'll keep an eye on what I'm eating and drinking, enjoy myself but not go mad. Also, I'll be avoiding the boxes of chocolates as one chocolate is never enough!

This thread is such an inspiration. As a shortie too, 5'2, it's really motivating to see all the before and after pictures.

Just another 2 weeks to go then it will (very gradually) start to get lighter a little earlier and darker a little later. This time of year is hard in the UK, but to be positive I think if we can lose weight and keep exercising at this time of year, then we can do it anytime! :smile:

A request is on it's way! :happy:

I'm a teacher and have set my activity level to lightly active. Like you, I don't get the chance to sit down for long!

Well, it's finally happened - someone noticed I've lost weight! :laugh: I saw a friend last night who I haven't seen since early September when I was 13lbs heavier. She said straight away that she could tell I'd lost weight and was looking good. What a boost! I don't think people you see regularly really notice until it's…

I'm keeping my weightloss quiet too. I'm just waiting for people to start noticing! I feel I'm getting loads of support from everyone on this wonderful website.

I'm finding that a lot of my clothes fit better now and some are looser but are still ok to wear. I do have to wear a belt with my trousers now though or they slip down a bit! However, yesterday I went shopping and picked up a pair of jeans in a smaller size. I thought they looked small but tried them on anyway and they…

Thanks for all your replies. I know I'm doing this weight loss journey for me, and I really do feel so much better and I'm not even half way there yet! I guess I'll just have to wait a while longer until people start to notice - must be a wonderful feeling to get compliments for all the effort put in. Good luck to everyone.

This looks like a great group! :smile: I'm 5'2 and after last Christmas reached my all-time highest weight of 172lbs. I've lost a little (and gained a little) throughout this year by myself, but then joined MFP and I'm so glad I did. I've been logging food and exercise for 7 weeks now and have lost 12.5lbs in that time. My…

I've lost 10.5 lbs so far and nobody's noticed yet, except my 10 year old son who gave me a big hug recently and told me my tummy felt thinner!! !I haven't quite gone down a full size in clothes yet and am still wearing the same things, they're just a lot looser on me now. I also need to wear a belt with jeans. I'm…

As Sunshinekind mentioned, I avoid meat replacements too. I really don't like them!

I've been a vegetarian for many years, since I was around 15. I cook with lots of vegetables, beans, lentils, sometimes a small amount of pine nuts or cashew nuts. I also eat dairy, though I'm not too fond of eggs! I make my own vegetarian versions of meals such as lasagne, chilli, pasta dishes, shepherd's pie etc. Since…

Hi, I'm 5'2 and so far have lost 9.5lbs. Just over 30lbs to go!

I'm 5'2 and have been using this site regularly for 3 weeks. As well as tracking food I've been motivated to exercise and I'm thrilled that I'm seeing results already. I've still got a way to go, but have lost 7.5 lbs and clothes are definately feeling looser. I'm aiming for a goal weight of 125 - 130 lbs, it's years since…
