I posted the wrong place the first time but here it goes on the right place! My name is Tony. 5'9 145ish. I practice Muay Thai and took a break from it due to some living sutations and want to get back down to my competing weight of 130lb especially with the swim suit season coming so soon! Let's power through, and always remember, "Get up and fight."

Morning! I'm 6'2, 250 lbs. Sounds high, but it works really well with my frame on top of the muscle buildup from the Crossfit. My goal is to stay between 220-250

I'm Andrew. Love the show and have also been trying to lose some weight. I'm currently 229 lbs and 5ft 10in. I would love to be just 200, although even lower is probably better.

Hi everyone! I'm Clara, 5'2" 133.5 lbs. In high school I was 110 then college happened

Hello fellow SYSKers! I'm Jackie, I just turned 31. I'm 5'10 198 lbs. I have a 10 month old son and I gained 70 lbs during my pregnancy so I am literally trying to work my butt off! I have lost 54 lbs since he was born but am still trying to lose 20 more to get back to the weight I feel most healthy and strong at (around 170). I love incorporating Little man into my work outs and fortunately for us the so cal weather makes it easy to get outside. We're off to hike right now!

I'm Abby and I'm 26. I weigh about 190 lbs, down from my peak of 196. With the help/support of my mom, I lost a bunch of weight in high school (175 down to 145-150) and kept most of it off until my senior year of college when I ballooned from 145-150 up to 196 (stress, capstone, a relationship ending, cooking for myself, loving to bake...it was a perfect storm). I got back down to about 175 but then had a long battle with plantar fasciitis, which kept me from my favorite mode of exercise, running, and during which I gained back 10 lbs. add on the post-wedding weight gain brought me back up to 194. I've started running again, and have tried to start lifting (which is my least favorite exercise) and have lost a bit of weight. I do best with small, intermediate goals, so my current goal is to get to 184. Food is my biggest struggle.

I'm 5' nothing and I currently weight 143. I hovered all my life around 100 pounds until I went to pastry school and taste tested everything After several fails at losing weight I've spent the last couple months just trying to maintain and not gain weight. I'm gonna keep my goals small (135 for now) and see what I can do. Thank you SYSK, Chuck, and the community, let's do this!

asayers2013

Female 5'5", 201 pounds. When I started college in 2006, I weighed 110. By the end of my first year, I weighed 140. By graduation in May 2010, I was up to 165. I hit my heaviest in October 2014 at 211, when my doctor put me on a migraine med that made me lose 30 pounds by January 1, 2015. I held my weight around 180 until probably September when I hit a really rough patch. I recently became a homeowner, but the previous owner had done a lot of cosmetic fixes to serious issues so it's been hard. I ended up gaining 20 lbs in about 4 months and ha e been hovering around 200 since Feb (a month after we got our home).

My name is Laura and I'm a Canadian web dev living in the UK. I'm 5'4" and 163lbs, eating out and holding down the couch too much - I could do better!

My ambitious goal is a healthier 140 for my brother's wedding in November, though if I can change my activity lifestyle ultimately my ideal is around 130.

lillian1979

Hello!

Lilly, here. Trying to lose the baby weight still from my last pregnancy. That baby is now registered for Kindergarten.

I am 6' tall and currently weight 175. I am very active with softball, karate, dance and the occasional 5k. Try as I might, the scale only goes up.

dancinonapiano

Hi friends! I'm Katie. I'm 5'5 and currently weigh 155. I gained 20 lbs after being hit by a car while biking last summer. As an athlete, I'm not too concerned about getting back down to that weight but just want all my clothes to fit comfortably again! Best of luck to everyone with reaching your goals!

thelovelyLIZ

Hello SYSKers! Im Liz. 5'4" and about 150lbs. Looking to get back to 125 or 130.

Jeffdozier

Hey Chuck I just heard your episode on chiggers and I'm really glad DC you have started this fitness pal for him I've been using fitness pal off and on since 2012 I've gone from 235 whenever I first started up to 244 back down to 233 now. I've noticed that whenever I use my fitness pal I lose weight when I forget to use it I gain weight; it's really that simple. If you use this consistently it's pretty easy to lose weight it's just amatter of changing your habits and routine. PS consider cutting out most all carbs and all sugar from your diet... I lost over 10 pounds pretty easy that way

cyndiwlasichuk

Hi! I'm Cyndi! 6' tall. 194lbs. A few years ago I was feeling down and grad school was taking its toll. Instead of focusing more on school, I started running (something I had always scoffed at). I started tracking what I was eating on mfp because I had just gone vegetarian and I wanted to see how I was doing with protein intake. This morphed into me finally trying the app "Zombies, run!", which had been on my radar for a couple years but I hadn't taken the initiative to try out. It's one of the main reasons I stuck with running! I lost about 30lbs over 4 months(starting weight of 220lbs), started biking and did my first triathlon. Then I got in hot water with school and fitness went to the back burner while I finished up grad school. Now, finally, this past January I was upset with how I was looking in photos so finally found the drive to smarten up. Instead of focusing on losing weight, my goals are to be stronger; run, bike, and swim longer and faster; and to tackle multiple races this summer (I already completed my first half marathon this spring and have my first tri of the year in a couple of weeks). I don't restrict calories too much (I follow the mfp guide for losing approx 1 lb/week) as I need those calories to give me energy while training. I train 5-7 times/week. It takes a lot of time to train for a tri, but I have that time to give and I am loving it!! I am trying to avoid looking at the scale numbers and reading too much into them. I can tell by my gym numbers that I am getting stronger, my race times are proof that I am getting faster, and my clothes are fitting better. I even hit my target 10k pace already (and set a new personal best!). Everyone, just stick to a plan and cut yourself some slack; if I didn't have sweets now and then, and said no to treats in social settings, there's no way I would still be at this 5 months later. Cheers

Howdy from Texas! Mark here. 6'-1", currently 208 lbs. Max I have been is 228. Goal is 190.

jen2929c

Hi all! I'm Jen, 5'5". At my last physical exam a year ago I weighed ~190 and I haven't been able to work up the courage to weigh myself since, as the same clothes still fit so I know it hasn't gotten any better. Just slowly gained weight a bit at a time over the years. I go through spurts of an exercise and diet routine, then work, life, etc. get in the way and I fall out of the routine so haven't been able to get much traction on the weight loss front. I would love to lose weight both to look better and to feel better, and to get on track to be healthier overall.

Thanks, Chuck, for starting this! I'm sure some camaraderie and some accountability will be helpful!

katemnscot

Hi, I'm Kate. I'm 5'5" and 168 pounds. I've just had a baby - OK, 4 months ago - and would like to get down to 140. Being on maternity leave and constantly meeting friends for coffee and cake is not helping!

a_duche

Salut from Québec! I'm Annie, 5'5" and 140lbs. I'd like to get down to 125 by next summer and build some muscles!

FullEunThrough

My name is Tyler. I am 5' 10" and weigh 175. At the start of the month of May I weighed 185. I have been working hard all month to start improving my health both by losing weight and eating right. I would love to be between 150-160. I'm glad I can come here and talk with other members and give support. Good luck everyone!

nationstaylor

Hi SYSK team!

I'm Taylor, I'm 27- 5'6"ish and 160 lbs. I would love to get back to 140lbs. Which is where I was a few years ago when I was playing roller derby. I felt so much better about myself and had a lot more energy and strength. I'm just getting over an ankle break and am going to use this time to get back into fitness! Both exercise and diet (and less beer!)

Thanks Chuck for putting this together- you're the man!

gfelsher

I'm Geoffrey (Geoff) Felsher. 6' 268 pounds. To start the year, I was 284 so I'm already on my way. To this point, my weight isn't a huge problem, but I'm fairly young and am realistic what it will do long-term. I'm so excited to be doing this with you all.

dannyboi313

Hey all... I just heard Chuck's invite on the podcast. My name is Daniel, I'm 5'8" and currently weigh about 190. My goal is to get to 170-175.
I relocated to Atlanta (and all the great food) about a year ago and put on the weight so easily.
This came at a time when I needed the added encouragement. Thank you all -- here's to us.

anneallen918

Hello! I too just heard Chuck mention this group and I'm thrilled to join. I love this app and have been using it off and on for about a year. My name is Anne. I am 5'9 and weigh 172 lbs. My goal is 165 lbs and Fit by 40!

HEHurt

Hey, everyone! I'll start off by saying that I love SYSK and was delighted to hear Chuck announce this group. My name is Hannah, and I'm 5'9" and 207 pounds. I was 300 pounds when I graduated high school and college, but fearing not being hired due to seeing articles about prejudices against obese people in interviews, I started working my tail off during grad school & lost 90 pounds in a year. For the next two years, I struggled balancing working as an auditor with taking the CPA tests, fundraising for & running a couple of charity half marathons, studying for the GMAT, & applying for doctorate programs, & I was just really not able to get the focus back that I once had during that busy season of life. My ultimate goal is to be 160 & to be able to run a half marathon in every state (I've done MS, FL, & TN so far). I start an accounting PhD program in the fall, so I'm trying to lose a good chunk of my weight this summer. The day I finally pass the 200 pound mark will be an all out celebration!

raymondrowell

Hey there, my name is Raymond, I live in Sydney Australia and am trying to lose weight but eat and drink way too much. My current weight is 96kg (211.644lb.) And I'm 6'2". My worst was 110kg (242lb.) while my best was 72kg (185lb.) while I was running marathons. My ideal weight would be 80-85kg. Good luck to everyone here.

Jpstrader21

Hi, my name is Jason. As of today I'm 260 lbs my all time high was 280 from a low of 220 during university. I've gone through a few periods of being fit since but never below 250 and it always inches back up. Currently traveling so I have the time it's just staying motivated. Weakness is beer, pretty much simple as that.

SonjiaLeyva

Hi! I'm Sonjia, and, after three kids and not loosing the baby weight after each, I'm 5'7" and 245 lbs. Ideally I'd like to get down to 150, but my goal right now is 180.

kierseyrock

I am about 5'5" 320 lbs. I am the heaviest I have ever been but I have been a big girl my entire life and I am ready to see a different person in the mirror. My goal long term (but probably not ultimate) is 200 which scares me a little that that is still high. I am excited to be a part of this group I have already seen a lot of good suggestions.

mcpe29

Hi everyone, I'm Melanie and after losing some baby weight in the first few months, I've gone back up 5kg to 68kg (150lbs). I think it's partly due to antidepressants for PND, but since I'll have to stay on them for about a year I'd like to see what I can do to lose some weight and start getting a bit of a figure back in the meantime. Hoping this group will help motivate me!! If there's not already threads for them I'm going to start an Australian, a post-baby, and a fructose malabsorption thread

dena90265

Ok here goes. In Dena and I'm 5'3" on a good day and today I weigh 159.4. I got down to where I wanted to be (130) years ago (8) doing Weight Watchers. I was 10 pounds lighter at thanksgiving last year and then I broke my ankle. So now my ankle is mostly fixed and approaching 48 and well, no more whining. I'm a runner and want to get back to my half and full marathon fighting weight.
