Hello all. I'm a 26 year old female who's 5'3 and 177 lbs. my ultimate goal is to be 125-130. I have been on MFP for ages but just starting taking it seriously a month ago. I started at 190 and have lost 13 lbs during the last 30 days. Just looking for people with similar goals. I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter and 2 stepsons who are 7 and 13. My time is limited and I generally find myself working out after 9 pm once they are in bed. I am on this journey with a good friend at work and it helps a ton to stay on track. But fresh ideas are always nice. I'm new to this whole healthy eating and counting calories.

    I am 5'3". Want to get down to 135 lbs too! Started at 200. Really intimidated by how much I have to lose, but for once I am taking MFP seriously and want to really stick to this long term. Would love to be with a group going the same way!

    Cheers! :)
