    Hi Guys, I'm a 34 year old dad, 12yo son and married. I'm 5'10" and would love to have some weight loss friends, especially if you're in Ohio! Would be nice to have a local that can relate and challenge once it fricking thaws out.

    I just started my weight loss journey in November after Gall Bladder surgery that didn't go so well. My first month was great, lost almost 40 pounds, then I hit a wall even though I was dieting and exercising more but I finally started shaving a few pounds again this week.

    My Starting Weight was 376.
    My Current Weight is 338.
    My Goal Weight is 200.
    I'd love to get down to 160-180 but I'll reevaluate that when I get to 200 lol.

    Hello! I've tried the "friends" gig before but didn't work very well, maybe I need a "twin"? so here goes...

    Female
    5'4"
    CW: 165
    GW: 140

    I work out when I can...my husband is a firefighter and has an odd schedule, we have two kids still in grade school. We ride motorcycles on the weekend. Recently been sidelined in my journey due to the flu, fortunately it helped me by losing a pound! Both "yay" and "boo" if you know what I mean. Just looking for someone that will give some feed back on my posts, not looking to be another in their "collection" of friends.

    thanks.

    Oh my gosh it would be awesome to find my weight loss twin!

    CW: 165
    GW: 145-150

    I'm a terrible runner but am working up to being a good one, I am starting to weight lift with free weights and love it! I've always had a problem with overeating and I have an unhealthy love for cheddar and sour cream Ruffles and Rolos. It's taken me 2 years to lose and keep off 15 pounds the "right" way and I'm looking forward to losing the next 15-20! I also am not married and don't have kids (yet). I log daily and like to be super supportive. I wonder if you're out there, twin!

    Found a few relations, but no twin!
    32 yr old stay at home mom with 3 kids under 3 (and hoping to try for one more this fall)
    We just joined a gym and I've been doing water aerobics 2-3 times a week, as well as cardio, yoga, and toning videos at home. My kids love doing baby bench presses and chasing through the house. My husband works 4-5 nights a week for 12-13 hrs so my time is limited.

    I LOVE this post!! I'm so excited to find people similar to me!! I've found a few "fraternal" twins, but not quite "identical" yet!

    31 years old
    5'9"
    Starting weight March 2013: 215 lbs
    Current weight Feb 2014: 175 lbs
    Goal weight: somewhere in the 150s

    I hit the gym 5-6 times a week; I do weight training/cardio/Zumba/BootCamp/whatever!! Low carbs, high protein, 5 or 6 small meals a day, trying to eat clean and cut out the junk but it's tough! Peanut Butter M&Ms are my downfall in life.
    ADD ME!! Always looking for new friends!

    I just turned 29. I am currently about 162lbs, and I am looking to get to 135 as well. I'm not overly concerned about the number, but there was a time that I was very fit, and about 135 and a size 2/4. I'd like to get back to that, but ultiamtely, I want to lose this fat around my stomach, and love handles, and have my arms more toned. I am doing crossfit, and am endeavoring to cut out alcohol during the week, and eat better 6 days/week. Trying my heardest at a clean eating diet.

    Looking for a twin.
    Female 48 years old
    5'2
    SW 205
    CW 195
    GW 135

    I love soccer, rollerblading, team sports. Mom of 2, married. Also like horseback riding with my kids but feel too out of shape to do it safely. Planning to do some racquetball, eliptical, zumba, step aerobics, kick boxing, and lots of walking. May start couch to 5k after I build up a little more muscle and endurance. My weakness is doing regular weights but that's my next hurdle to overcome. I hate that I am bottom heavy and typically if I work on the lower body, the upper body naturally slims down. I work from home and am very sedentary during the day which I need to change. Thinking of getting a fitbit to track activity and looking forward to sticking with this to my goal. Let me know if you are a fit, age isn't as important as finding someone short and needing to lose 50+ pounds.

    36 year old dad and Husband. Currently 293 down from 320 when I started my 2014 new years resolution (I know YAWN). Setting small goals of 275 by April to start, but eventually want to get to 190 ~ 200. I workout 5 times a week with heavy yard work on Sat or Sun for additional exercise. I am a data collecting freak, so I wear a Withings Pulse, Weigh myself every day with my Withings scale, take my blood pressure with ... Yes a withings Blood Pressure cuff, and I wear a garmin FR60 watch, HR strap and foot pod during my exercise sessions. I keep my intake under 1900 cal a day and try to keep that intake composed of 50Carb/30Fat/20Protein.

    Looking for a TWIN or just someone to harass me if I start slacking off. Motivation, advice or criticism is welcome too. Anything helps.
