Hello!

I am 5'2 and need to loose 62 pounds. I started at 250 pounds 5 years ago and lost 77 pounds which put me at 173. Over the last year and a half I have gained weight back little by little and now I am back to 212. I refuse to gain anymore weight! I just turned 30 and want to look and feel better as I age.

We can do it! I look forward in seeing everyone's success.

Can't tell you how relived I am that there are people out there with similar stories!

I have slowly but surely gained about 30 pounds in the last three years. Those scales are full of judgement for me. I think on some level I always knew... but now it's time to confront it and do something about it. Educate myself how to make better choices and actually move around a little more... the fact my life has become more sedentary is an obvious place to start!

Good luck to everyone and looking forward to sharing success stories and keeping up each others' spirits along the way!

Count me in. I'm 50, 5'3" and want to lose 50. I was doing great right up through November 2011. Lost 30 pounds and got into a size 12 gown for a ball. It felt awesome! But since then, got divorced, bought a house, started renovating it, and lost all focus on taking care of myself. I gained back 15 of the 30 I lost.

Well, I'm back to focusing on me again. There are 5 of us going to Belize in January and I really want to fit into the bathing suit I want to fit into instead of the one I have to fit into. But it's not just that event. I want whatever I am doing to be a sustainable lifestyle.

IMy weight has been fluctuating the last month or so. I'll lose 2 pounds, gain one back, lose 2, gain one. What the heck? Then again, since it's ending up being a net loss, I am grateful that my efforts aren't completely fruitless. But it sure isn't giving me that warm fuzzy on being able to reach my goal by January.

Hey all I too have 50 lbs to lose. I am 49 years old, work full time out of the house and have a family at home. I would love the support and motivation new friends bring. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck on our healthy eating journey everyone!

Hi There,

your group description fits my profile exactly I am 5.5 with 50 lbs to loose, looking forward to be part of the team.

looking for your hints and tips

Hi. I'm 5'4 and want to loose about 50lbs as well. I started 3 months ago and I'm down about 10lbs so I'm starting to see a little change. I just turned 29 and my husband and I are starting to think about kids so I want to be in shape and healthy for a child. I'm trying to make the switch to this long term for a healthier life rather than just a weight loss. My goal is to run a 5K in October and fit into a certain bathing suit for a vacation in November.

Feel free to add me as a friend-always looking for new people to connect with.

Hi all!
My name is Allysen, and I joined this group because I've gained 25 unwanted lbs since highschool, and I'm tired of not fitting into my clothes. And I'm 5'3", which is close to 5'2" lol Can't wait to give and receive support!

Hello, I'm looking to join because I was recently diagnosed with pre diabetes and I'm just 29 years old. All my life I was very skinny less than 105 lbs until 3 years ago. After life changes, I have gained 30 lbs. I'm 4'9, and my bmi is 28, yes 28...severely overweight!!im looking to get down to 120, and I weighed in today at 132.4. I'm currently seeing a nutritionist and I've worked out everyday for the past 3 weeks. I'm looking to join b/c I always start off great, but after a couple of months I get complacent and gain more. I'm looking to be a motivator, a supporter and in return would like the same.

SusanSJD, I recently injured my knees and gained at least 25 pounds on top of the 30 I had gained having other health issues! I have been rehabbing my knees since about March. Injury occurred last December. That along with a few other pretty big injuries has definitely changed how I do things! Lol! Yes, I was over active and stubborn when I was a bit younger! Lol! I am currently able to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred daily ( on day 10!!!!! ) as long as I modify!!! It has been a long uphill climb. Back in December I had to ride around the store in in one of those little electric go carts and it drive me bonkers! I couldn't walk or take kids to school , nada! Grateful that our bodies are so amazing! Being still feels un- natural to me. I believe our whole physical structure was made for movement. I am in awe of what the human body can do! We can do this my friend! Yes, we absolutely can! The way I see it, I've recovered from much worse injuries and no one ( including the doctors) can tell me I can't One step at a time. One day at a time. Be kind to you. It takes time. Glad you are here!

Hi. My name is Elise. I am 25 years old. I have been trying to lose ten pounds for about two months (to look better in a swimsuit) and the scale has actually tipped in the wrong direction. Now I have to lose fifteen pounds. So, I thought it would be helpful to find a group of people to talk to about my struggles with. Hopefully this helps.

Thats a really good idea

Hi everyone,

I'm Jenni, and I joined because I'm 5'2" as well

Hoping to lose around 50lb total, lost 6lb so far.

Anyone else jealous of all those tall people who can eat more calories, or is that just me?!

Hi, I am 4'11 (very short) and as of today I am 160 lbs. I had a baby last august and weighed 184, before I was pregnant I weighed 128 lbs and I have not been able to loose much weight at all. I need help loosing weight and thought this group would be a great way to share ideas and meet new people.
