I'm 5'3. My starting weight was 205 last summer. I lost about 15 lbs without a lot of effort because I went to therapy and stopped talking to my parents (not talking to them means I wasn't coping with sauvignon blanc and hot Cheetos). I started losing intentionally in March by eating about 1800 calories a day, upping my steps to at least 20,000 and lifting weights. Today when I got on the scale, it read 168 which means now I am overweight instead of obese for the first time in 5 years.
