    Hello ladies and gent(s).

    I'm 5'9 (well 5'8 1/2ish)
    SW over 400 (pre MFP)
    CW 326

    Started 28/30

    Currently in a 22 sometimes 24.

    The majority of the time clean eating, but not super strict. More strength than cardio has changed my shape a lot faster than in previous attempts.

    Looking forward to new friends!

    I'm a size 18-20 and want to be a 10-12, I started MFP a week ago plus exercising 5 days a week. My goal is to walk 3 miles a day on my treadmill and just get healthy and be able to wear cute clothes!! I know being 5 foot 2 is not healthy let alone attractive. I would love to have friends here for support and to exchange recipes. I do not cook much but my hubby loves to cook and he is behind me 110% on my weight loss journey.

    Heellloooo...... I'm very new to this site and i'm looking for new friends to help me lose weight. I decided it was time for CHANGE a month ago and I'm already down 13 lbs woohoo. I'm 5'3 and currently weigh 241 lbs. I know that is really unhealthy for me to carry such weight and I feel it in my back and feet. My goal is to get to a size 12- 14 soon since i've been an 18 since I was 12! I'm taking this one day at a time and would like to have someone to encourage me in the process. I'm the only plus size in my circle, it would be great to know i'm not alone. So join me! :)
    Please feel free to add me. I'm 5'6" and sitting at about 213 lbs right now. My goal is somewhere around 160 lbs- and the lowest I can remember is being 180 lbs at age 15... so its kind of a scary idea in itself for me. I have almost lost 30 lbs so far (28 lost.) I'm working out much more than ever before and trying to eat healthy for the first time ever.

    I'm no-where near perfect but I love to support and vice versa. I fall off the wagon but keep getting back on. That's a mouth full. Congratulations on your new journey and remember that you are your best asset!

    Hi everyone! I'm Shameka, and though I am not new to the site, this is my first time responding to a message board. I just recently decided to take the healthy lifestyle decision seriously, and I'm looking forward to being able to be a part of a motivational group. I am currently at my heaviest weight, 5'6" 300lbs. I am a size 20/22, and I am ready for a change. Recently, I have started to have the back and feet pain, and I don't want to be plagued with anything that will hender me living a long and prosperous life. Please feel free to add and encourage me, as I will try to do the same! :smile:

    Hi I am very new been trying to lose weight all my life but never had the motivation. I am currently motivated and hope that it lasts more than a week this time. I really need to get healthy for my children and myself. I am 5'3" and currently 259lbs. I love bad food that's the hard part for me. I can't stop eating because the taste is so good. I need some postive people inspiring me and motivating me to keep pushing forward.

    i love torrids TOO EXPENSIVE

    Yes! I love torrids too, but you're right - they are way too expensive. :(
    Wait for the additional fifty percent off clearance sales, they do them fairly often. And check the seams, some stuff lasts forever others fall apart right away.

    Hi everyone, my first post here!

    My stats are

    5'3.5"
    Starting weight 210
    current size 16/18 depending on what it is

    I have gained all this weight in the past 5 years going from 151 to this weight. I had a lot of stress and loss I think contributed to it and marrying someone who has really bad food habits but he is tall and thin and can eat tons and never gain an ounce.

    I was a solid size 10 and would like to be there again.

    It seems like the weight just doesn't want to come off this time. :(

    My motivation is my doctor thinking I am pre-diabetic.

    Feel free to add me.
