today is day one....

Today I steped on the scale and I am the heaviest I have ever been. I'm 26 y/o 5'6 and 200lbs... My goal is 150lbs (that's how much a weighed when I left college). I plan to lift weights and run (20-40 min) 3 days a week to start. I'm looking for friends in a similar situation.

I'm a tad bit or so older, shorter and a little smaller than you. But...I am lifting three times a week. I run when I actually need to get a burn in to stay under my calorie goal.

You can add me if you like.

I'm the same age and very close to the same metrics. Having the same problem, trying to get back to college size. I try to work out twice a week and make home cooked meals (for the week) twice a week just to make good habits. I usually try to get a good long run or two in throughout the week as well through the park to get out of the house.

Feel free to add me if you're looking for friends/motivation in MFP. Best of luck!

Wow! for some reason I thought I would be the only one starting today. glad to see I'm not alone. Unfortunately I am my college size, and Ideally my dream weight would be 125lbs but I would be happy with approximately 150. I am 5'6" with about 275lbs or so on my frame. I'm checking the scale in the morning.
I just started getting active again and I hope to continue with this motivation!

I'm a little older and a little shorter as well. I'm 175lbs trying to get back to 125-130lbs. You can add me too if you'd like, I'm still in my first month here.
