Im Lindsay! Im 21. Im from Edmonton, Alberta! Im a small framed person and have always been quite in shape, but lately since getting into a relationship almost 2 years ago, I find that Im losing a lot of what I had. I wouldn't say ive gained ALOT of weight, I am still quite small, but im no where happy with what I am. I want to be tighter and leaner. You know! My goal is 115 and if I got to 110 I would be over the moon. I am 120 right now give or take. I actually haven't stepped on a scale in about a year, but not a lot has changed.

I really just want to be healthier and tighter and comfortable in my clothes. It just got warm here and I tried on all my old summer clothes and it just ended in tears. so I ended up sweating my but off in old "boyfriend" jeans and a hoody!

So the boyfriend and I have decided to really step up our game! although I seem more serious than he is... time will only tell! its perfect cause he lives right near the river valley where there is parks and trails and endless amounts of stairs to go for runs..(I hate running) but he has a dog now so we have a good reason to get our butts out there.

So hopefully this will work and I will be happy come next month and feel comfortable in my bathing suit.. or even shorts for that matter, and he will feel comfortable walking around shirtless!

Again.. only time will tell!!

Wish me luck

Hi everyone I am a 20 year old University student raised in Upper Darby, PA but currently living in England. I think I've always been overweight. Since I hit puberty all those years ago I have always wanted to lose weight and now I think I'm more than ready and in the right mind set to do so. When I was around 14/15 I was around 245 lbs and I lost weight when I moved to England without a conscious effort and have kept it off since then but now I want to get healthy and be more comfortable in my clothes and be able to go shopping with friends.
My CW is 224
My Height is 5'4
My GW is 145
I'm not too sure if i want to be that light I would just like to lose inches and fat.

I'd really love to make new friends on here to help and motivate me on my journey

HI All! My name is Christina! Im 24 yrs old. Currently weigh 240lbs. 5'5. From South Carolina. I have tried dieting several times but never was truly motivated. Im now sticking to a 1500 calorie diet and exercise 4x a week! Today, is my first day on my diet and I was actually UNDER my Calories. I was thrilled to know I could reduce my food intake!
I am excited to get to a new, beautiful me! Something that has always made me fail, was lack of support. My husband is a great motivator but I guess knowing others are out there doing it with me, will help me SUCCEED in getting to my finishing results. I have 110lbs to lose and will work hard to lose it!
I enjoy meeting new ppl, and look forward to having us a support group all the way. If I find ways that has helped me, I will def. keep you posted.

Glad to find a good group of ladies on here! I'm Michelle, 27 years old, single mother and working professional. With the help of MFP over the past couple of years, I've lost over 15 lbs of residual baby fat (my son is now 4 years old!). I'd like to maintain my weight loss and continue to lead a healthy lifestyle, while working to tone my body - yes, I have extra skinnage!! I'm really into to HEALTHY EATING, not just low calorie, so always looking for new tips on how to incorporate nutrient-dense and antioxidant-rich foods into my diet!

My pre-weight-loss weight was about 130.
CW between 110-115.

Looking forward to the mutual support. )

Hi Beautiful Ladies,
I am 18 years old and constantly emotionally distraught over my weight. I let the number on the scale determine my outlook on the day. I feel like a lot of my family and friends don't understand and are constantly pressuring me into eating unhealthy food and making unhealthy decisions. I want to be part of a community that supports me and that can help me achieve my goals. I need to maintain my goal weight in order to be happy- that's just the way it is.
Hoping to join in on the support, as we all deal with the challenges that come along with achieving our goals.
Love,
Maddie

Hello all!

My name is Alex, and I'm 25 and 13 months (25 was a good year - not letting go just yet ).

SW 185
CW 177
GW 160
Height 5' 11"
Daily cal goal is 1500

A good relationship and emotional eating has led me to gain almost 30 lbs over the past couple years. I lost 40 lbs in high school and in January I decided to do something about my weight gain before I was starting completely over. I grew up in the Boise, ID area, but a few years ago moved to a more rural area. Rural, as in the only restaurant is the local bowling alley, and the manager at the only grocery store thought "quinoa" was something I made up. And I love living here .

After a 4 year hiatus, I started running again a few weeks ago with the "zombies, run! 5k training" app. I also enjoy yoga, hiking, and bike riding, and am on week 2 of RI30. Looking forward to being a part of the group.

Hi everyone!
My name is Ruthie, I am almost 24, and I live in Las Vegas. I am a stay at home mom to a very silly almost 3 year old. (and a full time student!).

I have struggled with my weight and self image for a very long time. After I had my daughter I basically starved myself to lose weight, and I did lose it....but that came with so many other problems!

So, here I am, trying to lose 25 pounds and gain the self respect that I know I deserve.
