Hi hi!

I'm 24, almost 25, 5'3", and am restarting my journey! I'm 206lbs right now, and my long-term goal is to reach 135-140. I've been trying for years, but have always lacked motivation.. soooo yeah!

    What have you done all the previous years that failed? Attack everything this time completely differently and stick to it this time for real. :\

    Hi! I am also starting over. I'd love to help keep you motivated. I'm 26 and have started/stopped/started again many times. I am 40 pounds away from my goal weight and I finally feel like I've found the determination needed to reach it. Feel free to add.

    Mostly just mindsets, really. So I'm going in to this completely differently. :smile:

    I restarted today as well. Last year I lost almost 40lbs and then I started travelling for work and gained almost all of it back :( I'm aiming to lose 50-70 lbs.

    Hi!! I'm the same height and my highest weight was 206lbs in January 2012, I got down to 152lbs by August 2012, and got pregnant again in January 2013, I went up to 183lbs when she was born in October 2013, and by July 2014 I was down to 133lbs before getting pregnant with my 4th in August :) Feel free to add me, I feel our journeys will be similar (minus all the babies haha)
