    5'6 23 year old looking for weight loss buddies

    I'm only looking to lose 20 lbs or so, but I also want to tone- and I've never been big on exercise. I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle as an artist. I love the social aspect of MFP, and It would be so nice to find similar folks with similar goals : )

    Edit: My name is Edith, btw : )

      Awesome! Friend requests sent. I should also mention that I have a gluten allergy and a bit of sensitivity to dairy. Which stinks haha since I used to love all those foods. Especially french fries.

      Hi there! I just joined again today. Was on this site a few years ago but gave it up :\ Looking for new weight loss buddies!

      Sounds like we're pretty similar: I'm 5'7, almost 25 and looking to lose 30. Over the summer I got active at the gym but mostly I live a sedentary lifestyle working in an office. I'm also an artist too :) My name's Liz, by the way.

      Hello. I'm the same height as you and also in my 20s if you'd like a friend.

      Looking at your ticker--are you trying to get down to 100 lbs? I think that would be well into the "underweight" category for women of our height. There is a lot of great information on MFP about strength training; that may get you more of the "toned" results you want without needing much additional weight loss.

      Thanks everyone! Friend requests sent. I do want to tone, definitely. My goal weight is based on my old college weight, so I just figured that would be good to shoot for. I do have a very very small frame for someone my height. But I think what I really want is to fit into all my old nice dresses haha

      I just restarted last week after quite some time off. Sounds like we're all fairly similar. I'm 26, 5'5" and looking to lose 30-40lbs to just get healthy and fit. I work in an office and sit at my desk all day.

      Let's do this!
