As stated above. Last time I lost weight I did it without using forums/buddies, I want to change that!

    Same height, 213 as of this morning. Started off on MFP with a bang in August, then slowed, then forgot about it, then got on a scale and realized I weighed more than when I originally started. So yeah, I'm back and could also use some help :)

    hi--

    I am the same EXACT height, and started MFP and the same EXACT weight (or maybe it was 218 instead. but still, really close!) !!! crazy coincidence!

    I am here if you would like to be MFP buddies :)

    Wouldn't it be brilliant if we could grow in height rather than lose weight to get to a healthy BMI...

    Here's my advice (I am living with a knee injury that began when i was training for a half-marathon at a higher weight):

    --start with WALKING. brisk power walking burns almost as much as running.
    --vary your exercises often (yoga or pilates for flex, walking dancing hula hooping or zumba for cardio, dumbells bands machines or bodyweight exer for strength)
    --listen to body, avoid high impact, use elliptical machine to "run" until at a lower weight.

    just my experience

    I am 5'9" and right now weigh 255 Lbs, I have been doing this also since about July but had a slip up after being sick for a month or so and then the holidays. Could always use some extra motivation. Feel free to add.
    Good luck in your journey!
