Hi guys,

  • I would love to become friends with you!!! I am a 44yr old Mother & Grandmother. I live in Gracey, Kentucky and LOVE it!!! I am 5'7" and my starting weight WAS (so glad to say was and not IS) 220lbs. I have gotton down to 178lbs now and my goal weight is 150lbs. The best thing that has work for me is "Mini" goals. My next mini goal is to get to 175lbs. Then the next mini goal will be 170lbs. It makes me feel it is a goal I can reach. I do my exercises and my walking everyday. I try to eat @ 1200 calories. I have to say I feel pretty good and can now see the change in my body. There are days that I just don't want to do anything but sit in front of the tv or computer and eat homemade cookies!! I have to make myself get up and moving. I do not work, but I do keep my 4yr old grandson and he is always on the go. He helps me more than he or myself really knows. Keep going with My Fitness Pal and log everything, and I mean everything that you put into your mouth. This is for you and no one else but you, so track everything and you will see what changes you need to make in your eating habits. Hope to hear from ya soon and hope you have a Blessed day!!!:flowerforyou:

    Hi

    I'm 5'7" and I started at 249.7. Not sure about my ultimate target. My doc says 130 and I just sorta cringe. But who knows? I'm doing well with my weight training and cardio so I just might make it and then maintain it!

    Always happy to have more friends. Add me if you want to share.
  • I am 5'6" and WAS 242lbs. I have lost 61lbs so far but feel free to add me.
  • Would love to add you as a friend. I am 48 and a mother and grandmother looking to get back into shape to be able to enjoy my life! My ultimate goal would be to reach 150 pounds but I would be happy even at 160. So I have about 130 pounds total to reach my goal. So far I'm loving all the support I've found on MFP!!

    Hi there! My starting and ending points are a little different but then, I'm a lot shorter than you ;) My name is Erika, I'm 25 years old, in Maryland. I'm 5'1". My starting weight was 182, current weight is 171 and goal weight is around 135...for now at least. Anyone can feel free to add me. The more the merrier! Lifestyle changes are all about surrounding yourself with people who support you and can help each other push through the harder days :) Good luck everyone!

    THIS! (Except for being a grandmother. LOL!)
    Feel free to add me too. I am just under 5'8" and 40 years old. I started at 240 (before discovering MFP). I am currently at 207 and my goal weight is 160. I just want to cross in to the "Healthy BMI" and see how it goes from there.
    I am on here dailly and i think that is soooo important for anyone who is serious.

    Well i'm not the exact, but pretty similar. 232 lbs and 5'9". Looking to get to about 180 for now. Ideally 160-170, but i'm going to take 1 step at a time. I'll add you just incase, but i'm definitely looking for people to help motivate as well.
  • you can add me too, I was 200 lbs and down to 185 by Intermitten Fasting and cardio in the afternoon for 1 hour and no more... if you have any better idea tell me....plz
