young ladies who want/already lost 30+ pounds

hi everyone, my names diana

age:18
HEIGHT: 5'1 1/2
CURRENT WEIGHT:155
GOAL WEIGHT:135
OVERALL GOAL: 120

well anyone within or even close to this, feel free to add me i will show support and i hope you do the same:)
i got into a car accident about two years ago and gained about 30 pounds with it! Now that im on medication (finally) i can workout and start living healthy... my plan is to start working out 5x a week - (30 mins walking, 30 min elliptical & about 15 mins running)
and then eventually when i shred a few pounds start weight lifting to tone. i eat about 1,200 calories a day, and i dont use the MFP and eat my access calories that i work off. I've heard that if you eat more than 1,200 calories it will help you lose more weight, but everyone's different and i'll see what works for me.
If anyone has lost this much weight before, or has about the same goals as me... please reply to this post and send the request to me:) i'd love to here your goals and what you plan to lose by summer! Good luck to everyone with their weight loss!!!

    Hi, I'm Michelle! I'm 19 and 5'3" and have lost 32 pounds and have another 20-30 to lose still, which I should be able to do by May.

    Personally, I had anywhere from 1400-1600 calories a day, and I'd try not to eat back all of my exercise calories just in case the numbers were off. I know my food diary says 1280, but that's because I was messing around with my settings and I forgot how to change it back.

    Anyway, feel free to add me as a friend!

    It took me ~9months, but I'm sure you'll make it faster.

    Hey, I'm 19 and have been yoyoing between 10lb loss and gains for a while now. I can never seem to stick to a diet for very long

    5'6

    GW:140

    I'll see if I want to lose more from there, but I do have a pretty solid muscle base. I love to work out, but I also LOVE to eat. I try to keep it at 1400 calories a day, but late night snacking is the worst. Especially since at college after the dining halls clothes, the only thing to eat is some candy from the vending machine.

    Feel free to add me, I could use some encouragement.!
