    Hello! :)

    18, 5'3 (and three fourths, I'm ALMOST 5'4!)
    Starting weight: 252 lbs.
    Current weight: 242 lbs.
    Goal weight #1: 130 lbs.
    Ultimate Goal weight: Whatever I feel most comfortable at!

    I live in Kentucky with my husband and our eight cats. I'm a student and working towards being an apprentice at a local funeral home. Once I meet my first goal weight and get my BMI in a healthy range, then my husband and I will start TTC - and I'm VERY excited about it!

    UGW: 120lbs

    Obviously, I've got quiet a way to go. Watching my caloric intake, but I've already made a huge change of no longer drinking soda. I used to drink 6 Sprites a day on my worst days, now I'm almost always drinking water. Cutting out fast food and take out will be the next huge thing, but that one's even harder for me.

    :heart: Anyone who wants to talk or be my friend feel free, I love meeting new people. :heart:

    I'm starting Fitness Blender’s 8-Week Fat Loss Program today, and focus on eating clean. I love all the support I get from others on MFP really helps me stay motivated!

    I lost about 30 or so pounds about a year ago, and I was down to about 138. Now, I have gained most of that back from being lazy, and I would like to restart with the help of a good support team, and actually keep it all off this time! I am a vegetarian and I enjoy healthy foods, but I am also on a budget.

    I work at Allstate part time and sell on Etsy part time.
    I'm cutting my calories down to 1200 and walking for 25min a day.
    I hope to lose up to 50-60lbs by my birthday in October. That's currently my starting goal.

    Female age 52

    Height: 5' 3"
    Weight approx 144
    Goal weight 125-130

    I don't use a scale, I hate it. My highest weight has been hovering at around 155 for about 10 years since the birth of my daughter when I was 40. Before that I maintained at around 135 but felt heavy there. I think 125 is a reasonable goal. So about 20 lbs to loose.

    I have been fairly active most of my life but back injuries and broken bones and other health problems slowed me down.
    I am back to working out 5 to 6 days a week. Mainly doing in home DVD workouts.

    GW 140

    In 2011-2012 I lost 30 lbs. I've maintained that weight since then, but am now ready to lose the rest. I'm a very picky eater, so for me its always been smaller portions rather than super healthy eating along with working out. Self control is what its all about for me, and when I put my mind to it I have no problem sticking to my goals. Currently I am horseback riding (dressage/jumping) 3x a week and like to throw in a few walk/jog on trails with my dog (1-3 miles) per week.

    Just started my calorie counting again last Monday, but looking forward to seeing 140 again :-)
  • 124 is my gw! Add me, for some motivation:)

    I started my weight loss journey AGAIN in 2012 and managed to lose 35lbs and was within 15lbs of my goal, I felt great. Then 2 trips in fairly quick succession and I've regained half of what I lost.
    I'm now determined to get it off and a reach my goal or lower.
    It would be great to have a buddy to keep me motivated.

    I workout 5-6 times/week doing various things...but have been focusing more on lifting as of late. I have been doing everything at home but will be starting at a gym soon as I have pretty much maxed out my set of dumbells.

    Lost 35lbs last year with the help of crossfit and paleo - lost my mojo and gained it all back plus some! I work full time as a nurse, run a photography business on the side and have 4 teenagers at home and husband. THis time - I just want to excersise and eat right and make it a lifestyle I can live with instead of a fad I will only do for a bit. Would love to meet some like minded folks. :)

    I am a work at home mom to a 1 year old and 6 year old (except for a few hours here or there at work when DH can watch the kids). I live on a farm in Northeast Wisconsin, and love to cook, bake, garden, preserve (canning, dehydrating, etc) hike, camp, fish, and read. I am currently nursing my 1 year old.. I also have hypothyroidism.

    My weaknesses are chocolate (esp at "that" time of the month! ), desserts, and boredom eating. I also eat when stressed, b/c for some reason, I just can't stand the thought of being hungry when stressed. I call it pre-emptive eating.

    This is my second go round. Got severely side tracked over Christmas, and just now getting re-motivated. I'm a slow and steady wins the race kinda gal, though usually when I start, the first few weeks show great progress.

    Looking for any friends, so friend me if we have anything in common!! :flowerforyou:

    GW: 10 to 12% bodyfat...

    ...so i can cross off my bucketlist being able to stand on stage and do my very first figure competition!
    (i'm guessing that would put me around 130-150 lbs depending on how much muscle i can pack on this spring/summer)

    Never too old to try!
