I'm 136 lbs and only want to lose maybe another 10-15 lbs but it seems most people on here have more to lose. Just looking for some friends with similar goals. My belly is huge for my size, 32". And according to the online calculators, I'm carrying around 37% body fat!

By January 1, 2012 I hope to lose 4 inches off my waist (possible? not so sure), lose the extra 10lbs I'm carrying around, and reduce my body fat by 12%.

Have similar goals?

    I'm toward the end now, hoping to lose 10-15 more lbs and then I'll be at my ultimate goal weight. I'm not in any rush, however, as I know trying to lose those last few lbs. are the hardest. But in 13 lbs. I hit the weight I was when I was on college, when I was at my fittest. :)

    If you want to friend me, please feel free. :)

    I am down to losing my last 5-10 lbs....at 140.5 would like to weigh 135. If I can reach that I will maybe try for 130, not sure if that is doable for me.

    feel free to add me if you like :)

    I am looking to only lose about 15-20 pounds overall, not sure I'd I could lose anymore. Feel free to add me.

    Only add me though if you are motivated. I hate having to delete friends after the site says they haven't logged in for 30 days.
  • Very similar! I'm 5'6 and 142 pounds (currently). I'm hoping to lose anywhere from 10-15 pounds. My goal weight is 125. But I'll be happy when I'm healthy, fit, and ripped :wink:

    I don't really need to lose weight but I could do and still be healthy...I'm trying to get very fit and reduce body fat percentage, not so much for looks now but because I want to be mega fit and healthy!

    I've spent the last year trying to lose about 15 pounds. It can be tough to find the right kind of support when lots of friends (with lots to lose) are dropping several pounds week after week. I'm about 5 pounds down from last year this time, haha.

    I joined here in April at 135 and in four months was down to 125. Still would like to lose another couple pounds but have been wavering between 125-127 since my vacation to the beach in August and a medical procedure that had me sidelined. I've been back at it for the past couple of weeks. Feel free to friend me if you like.
  • I started at 146 with a goal of 130, maybe 125. I'm at 139 now, so not much farther to go! It's difficult because the weight doesn't come off as fast. :cry:

    That is what I keep telling people who look at me and say they wish they only had 15 lbs to lose, it's very hard to lose those last 10-15 lbs.

    @gonnabefitgirl, memobe, chickenpoppa, sammys1girly, nmartin88

    Let's do this! I've added you as friends. Hoping we can push each other.

    @steelguy54

    I log in almost everyday! Sometimes I skip a day if I'm really busy with work. And I workout 6 days a week. Right now I'm totally motivated, January 1 is in just a few weeks.

    @LeanMeanFitness

    Healthy and fit are my goals too. Not necessarily ripped, but a flat tummy would be nice.

    @RAFValentina

    I definitely need to reduce my body fat percentage? What do you use to measure yours? I'm not too confident in the online calculators.

    @Fayve

    I'm totally with you on that! My best friend is way overweight and so she drops like 12+ lbs in a month and I struggle to drop 3 or 4.

    @kmboffice88, jess3012

    Yea, like I said, those last 10-15 lbs are so hard to get rid of!

    @htwaddel

    I'm 5'1 so I cannot afford to be at 136 lbs. And congratulations by the way, 72lbs lost? Awesome!

    I agree. I'm 140 now and want to get to 130. I'm 5'4"

    OP, my belly is much larger than the rest of me too. Ugh. Stupid stubborn belly fat!
