    Hey, I'm Diana! I'm 39 and 5 feet 1.5 inches, I'm looking to lose between 80-90 pounds. My starting weight was 226.4 and I'm only down 16.8 lbs in the past 4+ months, but I had a week and a half where I hurt my back and couldn't exercise, so I was stuck for a few weeks at the same weight.

    Anyone please feel free to add me!! Good luck! :)

    Hi y'all!

    I'm Rebecca, 28 and live in the UK. I started my journey just shy of 300lbs (297lbs) and am now 237.4lbs (that extra 4 makes the difference!) - it's been a hard slog but so worth it! I have no specific goal in mind other than to carry on and not lose focus, but I reckon I should lose another 100lbs - I'll constantly review it though.

    I advocate a healthy approach to weight loss - I don't agree with starvation or restriction and definitely do not encourage the participation of such. I tend to eat clean but I do not judge people who eat junk - we're all different. I love the gym, weight train and mix up with cardio and always on hand to learn new tips/give tips out.

    I normally log on everyday (35+ and counting, I didn't lose that weight in that time btw, since January!) and will always be here for those in need - my life can be a bit chaotic but don't let that put you off ;)

    xxxx

    EDIT; I'm 5ft 5.6 inches and around a UK size 20....varies massively!

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Lexi and I weigh (at last weigh in) 261.5 pounds. I am only 8 pounds down so far, but it's a start!

    I wear, depending on the brand, between a size 22 and 26, I am generally smaller on my top half.

    My plan at the moment is calorie control, and possibly later on the 5:2 plan, but I need to be more organised for that one I think, and I'm kinda just trundling along at the moment!

    I am aiming to be under 10 stone, looking to be about 9.5 I suppose.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi everyone

    I'm Eve, I've just (re)joined as well and have quite a way to go. Id like to loose 50 pounds and possibly more but 50 is a nice round number to start with. I'm 209 at the moment and 5 foot 9.

    That said im taking it day by day and pound by pound. First target is two stone for the summer holidays in August, its definitely achievable if I stick to the plan.

    Would be great to have friends who are in the same situation!

    I don't know about "plus size", I've always just called myself fat. Anywho. I started at 360 but I'm on my way to 250 (as my next goal - 200 ultimately) and am happy to do what ever I can to help. Add me if you'd like.

    You ladies really impress me. I am 59 and been struggling with my weight for about 20 years now. I have in the last two years starting moving again and keep losing and gaining the same 20 so my goal is to get beyond that. My trainer who is my age is beautiful inside and out and has encouraged me to do a 5K which I did this past April...slow like a turtle but I did it. I hope we can all be inspirational to each other. Its one day at a time one meal at a time, just being mindful I love that word mindful of what we put in our mouths can help. Have a great day. lana

    I'm 42 started at 285 lbs, lost 47 lbs so far, with about another 100 lbs to go. Right now my goal is to just get out of the 200s. But more importantly my goal is to get healthy, the number isn't as important to me as long as I gain my health back.

    I log on daily probably too much, but I'm good with switching my food addiction to a MFP addiction. Feel free to add me, love having dedicated active friends. Good Luck everyone!

    Hello, all. I am also plus size and unhappy about it. I have been much larger, and I have been much smaller, but I can't seem to stay at a healthy weight. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2001, lost a bunch, and gained back 70 lbs because I did not work the program. Now, I am dealing with arthritis and other issues of being 65, so I had better figure out how to get myself back to a healthier weight. In the last few months I have managed to lose 20 lbs, but there are many more pounds to go. I would love to have supportive partners on this journey. My daily food log is open for people to look at, I am open to suggestions, and I do log in daily. Please, feel free to add me to your friends' list if you think we would make good travel partners on this road.
