    I started at 160 and my first goal is 135, then I'll see if I want to lose more. I'm currently at 153 and it has taken 6 weeks to lose 7 lbs. Feel free to add me!

    I'm currently at 156, goal is 130, I also just started my journey last week.
    I've tried dozens of different gimmicks, glad now that i can eat what I want, just be careful and take everything in moderation.

    I know it is going to be slow but hopefully with support, I can keep going. ;)

    I would happily accept more friends and look forward to not doing this alone!

    Hiya - I'm 5'2" and started at 148.4 jst over a month ago. I lost 10.5 lbs in four weeks and 2" of my waist, so was super pleased! However, the past week no weight loss or no inch loss :( so I'm really gutted but decided to take matters up a level. I started 30DS this morning (which proper killed me lol), I'm hoping this is the kick up the behind I need.

    Feel free to add me, good luck everyone :) x

    Hello there! Starting weight was 158 and joined MFP around 145. Still working my way down but it's definitely slow moving and I feel your pain and get discouraged too when I don't see any scale action after being SOO GOOD :(! I just tell myself if I keep it up the scale will eventually budge in the right direction.. if I give up or give in it DEFINITELY won't!

    Feel free to add me!

    Hi, I'm in the same spot. Started here in May at 153. Hit an eternal plateau right off the bat and was between 149 and 151 for over a month. Participated in a challenge last month and things started moving slowly. Would like to get down to the mid-130s. At this rate, it will take a while but I'm hoping this way it will be lifestyle change and will also be permanent.

    Sounds like others are interested, too. If anyone decides to form a group or challenge, please include me.

    you can add me as a friend, i would be happy to support you, i need the support too ... i can't get off the 150 mark no matter what i do. i stopped doing the daily check-in with mfp because i got so depressed with never losing a pound & trying so hard. the last few weeks have been an orgy of carbs & sugar & beer & chocolate. so now i am going on the cabbage soup diet to jump-start myself into a healthier eating pattern & hope that with at least even a few pounds off the 150 mark, i will have the will power to stop binge-eating & binge-drinking. i really want to see 140 & 135 again. i have clothes i can't wear & want to. so please, add me as a friend, i need the support & will support you, too. thanks, polly

    I would love some friends around the 130 mark too. I went from 147 to 133lb and now thinking about maintenance which is actually quite scary! X

    This is me too - I started at about 155lbs and am now down to about 136 - but the last 4/5 lbs have taken over 2 months and have been a struggle to shift.

    My goal weight is around 125-130lbs so a bit to go yet, but like they say the closer you are to goal the harder it is to sort out.

    Hey feel free to add me. I am 1 lb away from my first mini goal and I would like to keep going and get to around 140. I had a baby 6 months ago, and I am down 43lbs. Feeling like I need people in same boat to keep this weight loss going down too :wink:

    hey dont feel bad! you can do this! i started off at 158lbs last year (joined mfp when i got to 141lbs). keep logging and keep active! it WILL happen :)

    ''Our greatest weakness lies in giving up, The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time''

    i love this saying too as it worked well for me and hence why its in my ticker to always remind me! this time i wasnt going to give up! ive lost weight before and couldnt keep it off! but 5 months of maintainance and counting! if i can do it you can too!

    Feel free to add me. I'm 5'2 and started at 166 and am heading towards 120-125. I currently am at 154.5 and hoping to keep going at a steady pace. Making me a new person for Christmas. :)
    Like everyone say's , because we have little to loose it will take longer to get there but in the end it's worth it.

    Hi, I am losing about 1lb a week. going from 175 to 147 (5'10), it can be frustrating, but the way I see it is it will stay off doing it slowely. Plus atleast it IS coming off :-D ... keep up the good work!!

    I'm 5'2 and @ my heaviest I was 160. I am now around 148 and it has been a slow battle and I am a extreme slacker . But this time I am determined to make it down to 120 . I fully understand where you are coming from!

    Feel free to add me and we can support each other on this journey :)

    I started at 165lbs, and currently 158lbs. I haven't lost anything since I started at the gym 2 weeks ago little :( I'm trying to accept the 'eat more' theory, so haven't accepted the 1200 mfp recommendation; rather, I have set it to 1700 (too high???) but it's so difficult! I'm exercising 5 days a week and trying to incorporate alot of weights, as heavy as I can go, but no change in the scale...
    sigh...slow and steady...

    Hello! I am right in this range. This is my 3rd attempt to lose the weight (attempt 1 about 5 years ago, and attempt 2 this spring both failed, though I worked so hard!) and this time I am determined not to give up.

    Feel free to add me - I would love to have friends in the same boat as me!

    Please add me!

    I don't have a scale now but last I weighed in the month of May I was 128 to 130.

    We traveled since then and so after weighing in May I must have put on over 20 pounds during the summer months.

    Since the first of september I have lost over 3 inches from my waist and gone down at least a size in pants

    so I can pretty safely say I have lost 15 pounds since getting consiousness back and recovering from just eating whatever I wanted

    up to 2500 cals a day over the summer.

    I'm 5'7" and feel so much better when I am at 130 or less.

    Wishing you all the best in your coming up shrinking weeks!
