I'm 5'4, sw was 216lbs and now at 210.2lbs. Ideally, I'm aiming for 140lbs, I've got a long way to go! I'm large-framed, so I'm going to wait and see what weight I feel best at nearer to goal. Anyone in a similar boat, I'd love to friend you! I've also started the C25K program, so anyone who'd like to do it too, I've only just doneWeek 1, day 1!

    Hi - I am 5' 3" and 210 lbs - just started yesterday and am aiming for 140lbs. Maybe we can keep each other going! :) Can you tell me what the C25K program is?

    C25k is a program that aims to get non-runners running a 5k within 9 weeks! it gradually builds up the length of time you run and you can get apps that tell you when to walk/run. I made it as far as week 6 before, then I fell off the wagon :( www.c25k.com has loads of info though, and the forums are great :)

    We seem to be in pretty much the same situation, I'd love to add you :D

    I'm 5'2 at 196, aiming to get down to 140 too! please feel free to friend me. I need alot of support, I've been battling my binge eating and staying on track. I woke up with tears in my eyes because of another failed attempt at staying on track. Anyone else interested in being friends with similar stats?

    It's inspiring to see your success!
