Hello, I'm looking to add (or add me) female friends for motivation to lose some weight.

I'm 128 lbs, 5'3. I'm working on cutting down calories to lose weight slowly. 😊

    Hi, and welcome!

    IMO, slow loss can be a really good approach, when there's relatively little left to lose. I lost quite a bit of weight back in 2015-16, but over the past 12-18 months have lost a few vanity pounds really super slowly (*really* slowly, like less than a pound a month!), by intention. It was practically painless! Now hanging out around 124-125 at 5'5", planning to stay in this zone, roughly.

    I don't know whether you're planning on being *that* slow, though (it's not necessary, it was just my preference right now). I have to say, with normal pound or few water weight fluctuations day to day, a slow loss rate (like half a pound a week, say) can take a while to show up clearly on the bodyweight scale. If calories are dialed in right, though, eventually it does show up in the longer-term trend.

    I'm kind of a poor-quality MFP friend (more of a Community forum gal), but wanted to reply to your thread to welcome you, wish you success with MFP!

    Please add me as a friend. I have four pounds to go to my interim goal and 15.6 for my final goal.
