I am looking for women around my age, height and weight who would like to get fit with me. I have started a couple times but have not followed through. Now is the time. Anyone out there with the same specs as me?

    I started off in the same boat two years ago, same height, weight and age. since then I've gotten down to 155. I did gain back some weight, I'm currently at 180 but I'm working it back off. Feel free to add me if you'd like advice or even just motivation. I worked with a trainer and nutritionist, so I've got a good amount of reliable advice. You can totally do it :)

    I'm almost 29, closer to 5'8" (when I stand up straight!) but I'm now down to your weight after losing 24 pounds. A few years ago, I started out at 230 and lost successfully. It feels different this time- I realized how quickly I had reached my highest point and it kind of scared me into cracking down on things. Now I am super-motivated and doing it the right way by not being overly restrictive so I know I can maintain this way of life. My initial goal is 180 with the plan to reassess when I get there. Feel free to add me!

    Hello my name is Courtney. I am a 26yr old female with PCOS. I am 5'3 tall. I started off at 257lb and current down to 214lb so I still have a long way to go. I originally joined the site a few years ago but after seeing little success I gave up. I am back at it again and so far I have lost more weight and stuck with it longer then ever before. I am always up for new friends. I would love to build my support system as well as join other people support system. Feel free to add me as a friend and send me a message any time :)

    Thanks everyone! I sent out some friend requests, I'm looking forward to seeing what you eat during the day, to give me new ideas so I don't get bored and quit. My first goal is to make it to onederland then i'd like to hit 160lbs as my end goal. 70 lbs seems like so much to lose, so I'm going to need all the motivation and help I can get. Thanks Ladies!

    I'm 30, 5'7", and currently 212.4 and still trying to lose. My first goal is to get to 199.9, and then 175/180, and eventually to 160ish? I'm not sure for the final goal.

    I don't use MFP's calculations for goals, but I do use it for food tracking because it has a great database! I also go by weekly totals instead of daily. I use my own spreadsheet to manage my progress. Yep, I'm a geek.

    I'm 5ft 7(.5), 35, starting weight 224. Current weight 183 - GW 150. Always seems a tad unfair the weight loss shows less on us tallish ladies. I'm from the UK.

    hey there - 5'7", 28 years old here from Toronto! highest weight was 244, two years later my current weight is 196.2 (as of this morning). current end goal is 150, but we shall see if that changes as i get closer.

    i have difficulty sticking to something longer than a few weeks myself - would love some new active friends to inspire me and that i can help motivate too! will be starting Focus T25 as soon as it arrives in the mail (hopefully this week!) and looking forward to getting some good results from pushing myself.

    i know 70 feels like a lot - and it is. plot out monthly goal for yourself that are more attainable, and the big number wont seem so scary. we can do this!

    Hi! I started at 244, I'm 5'8", and just turned 28. My diary is kind of a mess for the last week due to vacation and being sick, but I logged consistently before that and I'm getting back to logging consistently today.
