88 lbs to lose... all friend requests welcome!

Hello everybody! I'm 24, 5'8", and currently weigh 240 lbs.. :(
I have huge bones and I carry it off ok (really lol, curvy frame) also because I'm good with clothes.. but it's time to lose it, this time for real.
It's a hugely transitional period of my life and I feel I changed a lot inside, I'm a lot STRONGER and I want my body to show it!
Shooting to lose 90 lbs... getting down to 150!
I have no idea what it will feel like. I've been overweght all my life.

  • I love this place! Everyone is so friendly and supportive of one another. I'm only 5'3 and my goal weight is 145 so I have over 100 lbs to loose at the moment. My goals for May is to exercise at the gym three times a week and up my cardio to 5 days a week. Feel free to add me if you like. I understand it can be hard to stay motivated to hit the gym but I am willing to be your online gym buddy if needed :)

    You can add me, I've been big forever but at the end of 9th grade I lost weight in a size 10-12 but then I had my son and boy did I eat... and not only that the weight kept adding and adding so we started to eat healthy but not count calories, cut soda and more out. I think I lost weight but not a lot I started this site I was 355, and not I'm 334 it's going slow but my first goal is to get under 300 pounds this is the biggest I've been ever so we can be buddies. I go to the gym with my husband four days a week, and do 30 minutes cardo and 30 minutes weight lifting.

    I bet you don't look as if you weigh that. Your height can "hide" a lot of weight. Please add me as a friend; at 5"7'--I get it!

    Feel free to add me! =) At my heaviest I was 220lbs, with a goal of losing 70lbs. I just didn't find this site until a couple of months ago, and I wish I had found it sooner. It definitely keeps you accountable. Awesome place!
  • I've been here on MFP for a few weeks now. Logging what I eat is really helping. I would love some new friends on this journey and all are welcome to add me. I think we will all have better luck with friends who are supportive and know the struggles.

    We sound fairly similar, I'm 5'7" and started at 230 and I hope to get down to 155. I also carry my weight well and no one believed me when I said I weighed over 200 pounds. It's a blessing and a curse I guess. So far I've lost 29 pounds. It's not easy, but so worth it.

    Good Luck!
  • All can Add me!! I just joined this site. before the winter I lost 60 pounds. Im down to about 330 but have along way to go...support is good. Im hear for everyone!!

    Hey,

    I am 28, 5'7", and currently weigh 200 lbs. We are close in figure and I would love to lose weight with you. I have been overweight since I got pregnant with my first child. That was 4 years ago. My goal weight is 125 lbs, so we have quite a bit in common and around the same weight to lose. If you add me we can use each other's progress to motivate ourselves. We can also compare our food diary and have little contests or motivational things for the week. Add me asap if you like. I am actually looking for someone who will help me try harder on mfp.

    Hey there! We are almost twins :-) Im 5'7 22 yrs old and weigh 220. My goal is to lose 70 pounds! Itd be great to help motivate each other. Im 20 days into my journey and have been doing it alone. I dont really mind but its always great to have someone join you! Good luck and welcome! I also have a instagram Ive been posting my progress and workouts on if you want to follow me @belgie_t3
  • I am also 220 and I just found this site. I was posting my caleries a year ago then I back off and just came back about a week ago because I wanted to keep track of my intake and hope to lose this weight that I need to loose so bad. And I just found this posting place, and there is a lot of people on here that feel the same ad I do. I also need to lose at least 80 to 85 lbs. because at 5'4" my weight should be at about 130 to 140 but if I get down to 150 I will be VERY happy indeed. I haven 't been that thin since my youngest son was born. He is in the picture with me. And yes he has to wear the sunglasses because of eye damage while he was in the Army. Many people ask why he wears dark glasses or tell him he has to take them off and he then has to explain why he must wear them. Anyhow enough of that. I would also like friends on here to talk with. Is there any one in the Boise Idaho area. If there is I would really like to befriend them because I live in Meridian Idaho. :smile:
