18 yrs old 5'3" 152 lbs. need to lose 30 lbs. Anyone with similar goals? Could use some motivation...

I wanna get back down to what I was 2 years ago.  Anyone else have similar goals?

Hey it sounds like we have a few things in common. I am 23yrs old 5'1" and currently 146lbs. I started 5 weeks ago at 152lbs. I am also wanting to loose 30lbs I hope to do this by Jan next year. I started gaining weight steadily at about 10lbs per year since I graduated high school. I have tried dieting before but I could never stayed motivated. Now that I am counting calories I still eat what I like but just watch my portion sizes. It has been working so far.

Yea i gained my weight waaaaaaaay too fast.  I started working at an ice cream/dairy store in feb 2007 and just since then I've gained from 118 to 152.  I started really trying to lose weight like 2 weeks ago and am now at 149.  It sucks being on the shorter side because the weight is all smashed down into a short little body.  haha.  I hope to get this weight off by January as well.  :]

Well... yes.

I'm 18, 5'2", 151.5 pounds, and looking to go down to about 120 by probably around February.

So, haha, I think that might be similar enough.

Oh, you sound like me!

I am 23, 5'3", 150.5, down from 175 (July 07).  I wish I was 5'9" so I could stop, but alas, my weight is all "smashed down" on me too!  I am hoping to get to 115 by March 08.  I started on this site at 167 in April, and have successfully stuck to this whole lifestyle change thing.  I have little bumps in the road now and then, but for the most part I feel that I have changed my life considerably!

Congrats to everyone for their weight loss and I wish you more to come! 

How's it going?  I'm 5'3, 132.  Slow and steady...
