    Starting out is the hardest! once you get used to it and start seeing results, its easier to be motivated. you can always add me if you want! :)

    I am 5'1 and 199 lbs (I cringe just typing that), the heaviest I have ever been. My family & friends are all big eaters and drinkers so hard to lean on them for motivation. Just starting MyFitnessPal so would love to join the group to help with motivation.

    I'm 5'5". Went from 185 in 2005 to 154 in 2009. Maintained for almost 2 years, and then developed hypothyroidism and ballooned to 202 in 6 months. Got on thyroid meds and started SLOWLY losing weight in 2012 once my meds were at the correct level, and am now between 144-147, depending on the day. Current goal weight is somewhere between 130-140, but I'm mostly concerned with my fitness level and biking/running speed vs the number on the scale....although by calculations, my "racing weight" for optimal triathlon performance should be between 120-125, and I *do* have the extra body fat to lose to get me there...so we'll see.

    5'4" and 83 Kg. I need to lose about 60 pounds to be normal. Since I was 16, I've always fluctuated between 125 and 145, but last year I just kept gaining. I want to be fitter again so I can go running and have lots of energy.

    I'm 5'5" and believe my current weight is around 163lbs right now... Just came back from vacation a week ago and my scale is broke so I figured I give it a few weeks before I get a new one and see how I'm doing then... I would like to get down to 135lbs...

    Hey girls! I would like to join this even though my goal is to only lose around 10-15 pounds. I started out at 144 pounds and just recently hit 126. I would love to get to 116 and having a group of girls aiming for weight-loss as well would help. I recently started going to the gym everyday and have started lifting weights... I would love to compare diets/work together to finally achieve our goals!

    I'm 5'2 and at 169. I started at 176. I'm 35 and a teacher. I mainly exercise with cardio. I'm in week 4 of couch to 5k and use an eliptical in the off days. I've been trying to clean up my eating. It's not perfect, but SO much better than what it was. I would like to get down to 130-135 and aim to lose a 1-2 lbs a week. Feel free to add me, the more the merrier!
