    Hi there :) I'm Christine, 5'3" and started at 229, I am now down to 220 and lost a few inches... My goal is currently 160, as my hubby told me he would literally be scared if I was "skinny" and likes my "thickness" as it is now. I'm trying to lose weight for me, as it is really what I want, and I wouldn't be upset if 160 was my weight for the rest of my life(I once weighed that much and really wasn't "fat" like I feel now) So I am just trying to lose weight, gain some muscle, and be in great shape(exercise and eat right) :)

    Feel free to add me :)

    Hello Catherine. I am starting today. I have been diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes and I refuse to allow something and someone control my life. I was put in charge of me when I was born. So I am at 244 and looking to shed 75lbs. You keep up the good work. I love to eat also, so I know it will be a struggle.

    Hey there! I started my journey ( before mfp as I didnt know about this awesome place) a year and 3 months ago at a very large end of the size 20. I am now a size 16 and always up for supporting and have support from other ladies! This is definitely a tough battle!

    Hello everyone. I am Mariah. I am trying to get down from the 209.9 lbs that I started at and 36.7% body fat to do my first bikini diva's competition either November 2013 or when the next season starts in March of 2014. I have done a model quest competition before, but that was 9 years ago. Since then I have put all the weight back on and I remember that as being one of the most enjoyable times of my life so I am ready to do it again. I started working out at home for the first 4 weeks with great results, and have been in the gym ever since going on week 12 now. I have only lost 7 lbs, but I have lost over 30 inches all over. I am not worried about the number on the scale because I measure weekly and take pics every 4 weeks to check my progress and it's coming along great. I do cardio and weight train daily. I used to do 6 days on and 1 day off, but I was just too tired by the end of the week to get any kind of good workout in so I am no doing 3 days on and 1 day off starting this week and I'll see how that works out for me. I seem to have a lot more energy to put into the workouts and it seems to keep me more motivated knowing I'll have a day off sooner. lol

    Plus size women feel free to add me as well!

    I won't criticize your food diary...not my thing! Honestly, I don't even look at them.

    I will give you lots of high fives for exercising and losing however much you lose and sticking with it and coming back after a bad day and random NSVs :)

    I'm currently at 203 shooting for 145.

    Hi my name is Jenny, I am 46 years old. I weigh 286.4 and would like to loose 130 lbs. I have struggled for the last 20 years with losing weight. I have 3 years until I'm 50 and it would be nice to have lost the weight so I can enjoy the outdoors again, by hiking.

    Name is Natalie. 25 yr old stay at home mom. I'm at 279.5 right now size 26. I'm trying to get down to 165 maybe more. Gained 80 pounds with my pregnancy with my now 5 yr old son. Tacked on another 40 since then. Trying to not get high bp, suffer any stroke, or get diabetes. Big family history of all three. Husband suffers from chronic illness so I have to be healthy for him and our son. I work out 3 to 5 times a week. An hour to two and a half at a time

    Hi I'm Mari. Just found this site yesterday. I have a LOT of weight to lose. I was on the WW site and someone mentioned this one so I'm trying to find my way around it right now. I'm 321 to start. I feel miserable. I'm looking for menus. Is there anywhere out here to find them in the 1500 calorie range so I can get an idea of what I should really be eating?
