5'5" 185 and want to get to 145- who is with me?

I'd like to find some connections to people who have similar goals to help hold me accountable and motivate! I'd like to be down to 145 by August.

Anyone have any fried chicken they can send me?

Please count me in. I've never joined a CC group before so I am not sure how this works. I'm 52 yo at 184 AND 5'5". CC wants me to get to my college weight of 130 but I would be happy at 140. CC tells me it will take a year. I think I am more determined than that and want to have the weight off by my birthday in October. so..as I said before...count me in (and explain what that means :)

Yeah -- CC wants me at 130 but I'm aiming for 145.  I'm glad to see you here -- it's a little tougher as you get older but we can do it!  You might not make the entire 44 lbs by Oct. because those last lbs take a long time to come off ... but if you're 2/3 or 3/4 there ... you'll feel fantastic!

 

 

I would love to be part of a group that is active. I am 5'3" and this morning I was 184.4 (I started at 188 several weeks ago). I turn 30 in a little over a year I would really like to be in the 140 - 130 by then. I didn't start my 20's overweight I don't want to end them overweight.

I woke up with a major salty fried craving and I can hear the little voice in my head saying "just one meal won't hurt." 

I say pshaw on that little voice!  It's a fat little voice.

I'm 4'11, 205 pounds, end goal is 140 pounds. Been doing this for one month exactly and down 15 pounds already. I haven't measured inches but I am doing strength training everyday. Looking to be 140 by my 35th birthday Mid-August.

Oh forgot to add, I started at 220, currently at 205.

27-184pds-5"5. I'm with you! Trying yo get to 145 by augusy!! The pounds just sneaked up on me this past year. I also suffered a miscarriage in February and I am trying to get fit by August to try and conceive again. Also finances college buddy has wedding in July and our own this year. I started p90x two weeks ago and it is just discouraging. It is to difficult for someone not use to weights or intense work out and I get frustrated bc I know I am doing it wrong. Fiancé is trying to lose weight too and helping me but he is an athlete and is in shape and I feel like I hold him back, I downloaded calorie counter and weight watcher apps and am on full throttle!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!!!!!

I'd love to be part of this group! I'm 25yo, 5'7", started at 210.5lb, and after 11 weeks of healthy eating am now down to 176.5!  I'm determined to be 140lb by the end of this year , although CC says it will take me until June next year. I've always yo-yo'd up and down, but this time I'm planning to lose it all, and lose it for good!

Great job so far Dovetail!

That is awesome dovetail!

Thanks guys! It really helps being on here - so many inspiring ppl!

very inspiring, DT. 

Checking in:  I'm hoping for a better day today than yesterday.  I didn't really go off plan yesterday - 1 small chip & 1 bite of bacon off my friends lunch plate - but  I just felt miserable & hungry all day.  I woke up hungry with a craving for salty fried foods & it stuck with me all day.  I couldn't watch tv because every food ad made me insane -- and I don't even LIKE dominos pizza.

but I knew it wasn't because I was hungry.  I'd had plenty of nutrients & great healthful food during the day.  It was because my "toxic hunger" was po'd at me for ignoring it.  So I soldiered on.

And this morning, while I can't say I'm thrilled at the thought of my lunch time salad ... I am not pouting over it. 

Day 10.  32 days to go on the 6 week detox.

 

Woaaaw Dovetail, that is sooooo inspiring.. you are going to be my motivation... When I work out today, and i feel tired and i feel like stopping, im gonna think about you and how much you accomplished!!!

Everyone. good luck for this week, hopefully we ll all drop a few pounds! My weigh in is on friday... crossing my fingers!!!!!

5'5" started at 185.4 Feb 1st. Now down to 171 with 3-4 1hr workouts/wk. Totally changed my outlook on food. No longer a reward or an excuse but rather fuel to keep me going. I was taking better care of my car then of my body. I see exercize as a tune up to better burn my fuel and extract every possible bit of energy. I want to get to 135lbs by X-mad. I'm with you.

Me me me!!! Am I too tall? lol... I am 5'8"and 190 LB.  I was at my best at 140..... I just got a new gym membership (again, I did it before and did well till my dad got sick and passed away, then I gave up).  So here I go again. 

I used get lots of cravings from the skinny chick inside of me, for apples, celery, ryvita, that sort of thing.... I can shut her up with a piece of cake usually.  Now she's too fat to talk.

Hey I would like to be part of the to I spire as well as be inspired! I'm 21 5'4" and 160 this morning! Just had a baby boy a few months ago. I want to weigh 130 but I haven't set a date to reach this but since most of you are saying by summer, that will be my goal too! Can't wait to get started! Been drinking the gnc lean shakes and they fill me up and keep me full for awhile. I also threw out all junk food, white bread, soda! Good luck guys!!

geckogirl, I don't think I have ever had a skinny girl in me saying eat fruits and veggies which is why I am the weight I am.  I will try to do some soul searching today to see if I can find her.  I am sure there is a skinny girl in all of us.  unfortunately I don't think I will find her at lunch at olive garden today.  I will try and do my best though.  I have already looked up the calories for what I am getting-looks like I may be having cheerios for dinner tonight to offset lunch ;(

 

Great to see so many of us here to support and inspire each other.

I am, as of this morning, officially down to my heavy weight -- 10 lbs down from my OMG that just can't be weight.
