in Introduce Yourself
I've actually been on MFP for over two years now, and I had great success with it a while back. I lost a whopping 44 pounds and got SO close to my weight loss goal, and then it all fell apart. I got too comfortable with my progress and started to put forth less and less effort, until I eventually slipped back into all my old habits and gained back every pound that I had worked so hard to lose. )c:

I'm 5'2" and my starting weight is 184 pounds. (Yeesh! I know!) I'm setting my goal at 120, which is right in the middle of where I should be, but if I can get to 130 (the top end of the "healthy" range for my height) that will be a huge deal for me. I really need to get out of the "obese" category and take care of myself.

I'd love to have some more friends for motivation and support! I promise to return the favor! (c:

    Hi I'm in a similar boat to you. Started in 2010 weighing a wopping 245 lbs and lost 59 lbs. Then I got stuck and have since gradually put back on 30lbs. Have just joined this site and am back on the diet. I am aiming to get from the 216 that I am now to 140 if at all possible. It seems such a long way to go and I need a few friends to help motivate me and maybe I can do the same for them.

    I think we are twins.... I am also 5'2 and I weigh 177 lbs (assuming my cheap bathroom scale is accurate). I have also had success with MFP until I get close to my goal. I have now regained most of the weight I've lost. I don't have any friends yet on MFP, but I have been using it on and off again for about three or four years. It would be great to be friends with you!

    Hi there! I'm a couple inches shorter than you but we have similar goals. I started MFP about 50 days ago and have been doing well. I really love the support I have been getting and giving from my friends thru this. It is a huge motivator. Feel free to add me!

    Looks like this is the group for me as well. I joined this site and lost a few pounds a year ago. I of course thought a nibble here and there wouldn't really matter...leading to where I am today. I have to put new batteries in the scale to get an accurate weight. Regardless, I know I have gained weight as nothing fits and I am so uncomfortable. I know I am 30 to 40 lbs overweight. Today is the day! Am trying to remember how to figure out this site with the foods etc. Are there example meal plans somewhere?

    Hi Nicole, Wow, congrats on that huge weight loss! I just rejoined this site after being absent nearly a year. I am 5'4" as well and 180 lbs. I am so inspired seeing the weight you have lost in 10 weeks. Are there certain foods you are eating every morning, noon etc? I am looking for easy meal plans on here and am lost.
    Thanks, Kris

    Me, too, please! This is day 1 for me - just downloaded the Mfp app this morning, and logged 2 meals. Saw the website! I am 5'2", starting at 205 lbs - goal of 140 lbs. I'm 52 years and a serious couch potato. Can I come along?

    I'm in a similar boat, too. Lost a fair amount of weight here on another account, got complacent and gained it all back. I'm now 5'4 and 190, looking to get to 135-140 eventually.
