in Social Groups
I read this and thought it was a neat idea. Within this group I'm looking for someone to become special support buddies with. Basically someone with the same body type and similar height/weight stats.

So here are my stats, anyone similar interested in buddying up?

Type: Mesomorph
Height: 5"4'
Start Weight: 249.8 lb

General: Married with one child. I hate exercise but am working on my attitude. Love to cook. Live in the Northern US.

    I've seen that thread too! Great idea! I've noticed we have a lot of Moms of twins in our group! (Not me).


    Starting weight: 306
    Current weight: 284
    Goal weight: about 150. (I guess I know it when I get there!)

    Height: 5'7"

    Type: Not sure what this means, but I have an "hour glass figure". Well....a 2 hour glass! Relatively small waist compared to hips and chest.

    Exercise: Walking, C25K (couch to 5K) and Zumba

    I'm 43. Married 26 years with 3 kids. I work full time. I'm a Christian, and I'm very involved in my church. My history includes infertility, PCOS, and adoption.

    I think it is a great idea too. So, as embarrassing as it is, as I'm sure I'm the biggest one on here, my statistics are below.

    Starting weight: 370.8
    Current weight: 340.6
    Goal weight: 175

    Height: 5'6.5"

    Type: I'm not really sure exactly, but large-chested, smaller in waist,

    Exercise: Walking, Wii fit (well, not too much of that lately)

    I'm 38 years old. I've been married almost 16 years (March 8th anniversary), 3 kids ages 15, 13, and 8. Full time job as a customer service rep for a local utility. I'm a Christian, active in my church (secretary/treasurer, back-up Sunday School teacher, lead praise and worship). Also in my history is PCOS, high blood pressure, IBS, Fibromyalgia.

    I feel like that last part was kinda negative, so on the upside:

    I'm so very blessed. God has been so good to me, so much better than I deserve. I truly want to honor Him with this journey, because I know that nothing is possible without Him. Oh, sure, many times I've lost weight (and gained it back + some), but this time I'm relying on Him every step of the way. I ask Him every morning to help me make good choices. This is a day to day, and sometime minute to minute process for me, but He is holding my hand the entire way. :smile:

    Fun!

    Starting: 235
    Current: 220
    Goal: 130
    Height: 5'6
    Age: 27
    Shape: Hourglass-ish. At least, I was when I was thinner. I'm starting to see it a little again but I have a spare tire around the waist so maybe a little apple shaped at the moment.
    Exercise: Currently just Zumba and walking
    Health issues impacting weight-loss: PCOS & Hashimotos
    Miscellanious: Married with a 3 year old daughter. Stay at home mom. Into photography, sewing, arts and crafts, reading, etc.

    Well at least some of you ladies are the same height. Any short rubinesque gals out there? It is hard to call myself petite when I'm just so big everywhere else.

    If there are no more people looking for a special 'twin', I'm snapping up sktourne. We have a bit in common and I've got some friends with FM so know how hard it is for her.

    I thought I posted in here...weird!

    Anyway, I'm Christina!
    Age: 23 (24 soon!)
    Height: 5'6"
    Starting weight: 275 (before MFP), 263 (starting MFP)
    Current weight: 249.5
    Shape: somewhere between hourglass and pear
    Exercise: WiiFit, Just Dance, stationary biking

    I got a Bachelor's degree in Biology in 2011 and I like crafts. In April I'm moving out of my parent's house (finally). I'm also single (but not lonely! haha) and currently working as a college/career counselor. :)

    Hi all...Twin wanted..
    I am 5' 8" and weigh 294.
    I wear a sleeveless size 18 top. That fits without gapping or looking to big for me.
    If it has sleeves then I wear a 22 to fit upper arms then chest area looks too big.
    I have a 43in waist...and go out to a 56in hip. I guess that makes me pear shapped.
    I have been told I hold a lot of waer in my stomache and legs.
    i would like to see if following the same game plan would have the same results for someone built like me.
