    I'm 5'6 and my starting weight was 171. I've managed to keep about 15lb off for the last year and now I'm trying to lose some more weight...but it's hard. If I can get down to 140 it will be the lightest I have been in my adult life! Feel free to add me, I could use the support too! :)

    5'6 and 180...aiming for 140...

    feel free to add me (: the 'fat pregnant' thing made me laugh. i'm not planning to have kids for another couple of years, but i do sometimes motivate myself with the thought that i want to be happy with my body once more, before pregnancy wrecks it...

    ME! I keep bouncing between 170-175. I'm hoping to get down to 140-150. I'm down 28lbs since I started MFP in Jan. Feel free to add me.

    I'm 29, 5'7 and 200lbs... desperately trying to get down to 160. I've been trying for quiet sometime. But my effort has been pretty 1/2 @ss. But I'll be turning 30 in April and my mission is to reach that goal or as close as possible to it by then. Anyone can add me.

    I am 5'6 and 175, I have been holding steady at 175 (not gaining -yay) for almost a decade. when I was 28 if I did what I am doing now, I lost weight, but my body has been holding onto the weight more as I have grown older. I would be thrilled to get down to 150!

    5'5.
    172, started at 198 in Feb, but was 225 in Dec when I was 9mos pregnant.
    Goal is 150 by December, reassess from there.
    I'm 27.

    You, and anyone else, are welcome to see if we click!
    Good luck :)
  • I'm 5'5 and 165. My goal is 140. You can add me. :)

    I'm 30, 5'6, started at 215. Basically still there but 140 is where I want to be. Haven't seen that number in a while ;)
    Doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred just now, first day of level 2 today. I am SO sore! lol.

    Feel free to add me, anyone, not just OP.
  • I'm 5'8" and 177. My goal for now is 150. That was my pre-pregnancy weight almost 11 years ago. Since the "baby" is 4, it's time to drop those pounds! I'm only on my second week of MFP, and I'm trying to stay strong. I turn 40 next year, and I don't want to start that decade overweight.

    Feel to add me

    I dont want to be fat pregnant, Its a women thing I guess.
    Well yes, I suppose it is. Very few men worry about being fat during pregnancy.

    I'm 38 years old, 5'4" and 177 lbs. I am starting to really follow my eating plan tomorrow.
  • I'm also 5'6 or 5'7, and it's good to know there are other people out there my size! I am currently about 175 and I want to be about 150! and then we'll go from there. Any encouragement would help!
