    Hello everyone, I'm going to be 54 on July 6th, "Yippee". My age doesn't bother me too much anymore but my 30 pound weight gain does.
    My name is Darlene.
    Current Weight - 167
    Pounds to lose - 30
    Goal weight to be 135-140 and get back in a 9/10 size. Of course to be healthy too!!

    You can add me... I'm 35, 5'5", 166, trying to get down to 140 now. Anyone can add me, I admit I don't tend to be super active on my home page though!

    I don't have 30 more to lose, but I am only 1 pound away from losing 30 since March of this year. I started at a similar weight as you, so feel to add me if you would like.

    Here are my stats

    5'8
    SW-185
    CW-156
    GW-135-145 , I have the range, because my first major goal is 145, then I will evaluate from there if I want to lose another 10.

    Hi Everyone - I'm new to MFP - just started this week. I would love to join the group to continue to stay motivated.

    I'm 5 foot 7 inches
    HW - 167 lbs.
    SW - 164 lbs.
    CW - 160 lbs.
    GW - 135 lbs.

    About 4 years ago I was at my highest weight and used Spark People to record everything and lost almost 20 lbs. Over time, I ended up not paying attention to what I was eating and gained almost all of it back over a period of two years. I tried to lose it again several times along the way, but I could always tell that I wasn't really committed and serious about it (always had an excuse). I definitely feel like I'm mentally committed to this weight loss/healthy eating journey right now, just like I was the first time.

    Looking forward to supporting each other.

    Feel free to add me :). I have about 35 pounds to lose. I've done a couple things that only resulted in the yo-yo effect. It was not until I started Les Mills Combat that it help my attention. I completed a full 60 day challenge with an on line challenge group and have now started another round hybriding it with Les Mills Pump. Both have amazing music, with multiple workouts that range from 30-60 minutes. I am now coaching some of these on line (Facebook) challenge groups. This is a fun way to stay motivated and help others in a smaller group setting. I do currently have openings in two challenge groups. Send me a message if you would like to join our team!

    Hey Ladies! I'm Tricia, I'm 28 and a married mother of 4 kiddos; 9, 6, 3 and 9 months. We live in sunny southern California. My highest weight was 318 in 2010, my MFP SW was 257 and I'm currently 222 working down to 180. I was 177 last year but I got pregnant with a high risk pregnancy and that led to bed rest and gaining 70 lbs. I've lost about 35 lbs so far. I log daily, comment daily and try to blog daily. I share recipes and fitness tips and motivational quotes. ANYONE can feel free to add me and I'll be your support buddy!

    I'm looking to lose about 25 lbs.
    I'm 5 foot 9 and 165lbs.
    I've been trying to get skinny for a very long time, and now, FINALLY, my primary concern is my health and well-being, as opposed to just focusing on a number on a scale.
    Feel free to add me.

    Hey :)
    I'm a 32-year-old mom of two 4-year-olds.
    My highest weight ever was 170.
    My current weight is 152.
    I set my target as 132, because that seems manageable.

    So... 20 lbs, not 30. But I have a desk job and have to spend a LOT of time sitting on my butt... so I bet it'll take me as long to lose 20 lbs as it'll take some people to lose 30 ;)

    I'm 5'3 and last time I weighed myself I was 176ish. This was several weeks ago and I've been working hard but I doubt I'm below 170. I am looking to lose at least 30 but ideally 35 just to be at my healthiest. Feel free to add me!
