Hi MFP!
Here I am again! Hopefully 2nd time around I'll be more successful
I'm 5'7 and weigh 204.2 lbs, I'm on a mission to rid myself of 64.2 of those lbs within 12 months, I think that's a reasonable time frame.
Anyone with similar goals and starting weights?
Feel free to add me

I am much shorter than you at 5;'3", but a starting weight of 214.
I am currently at 196 and still going with over 100 day streak. I fall down, but I log everyday and I am not giving up!
My goal weight is set at 140 for now too.
Good luck to you!

I'll add you both just now, if you don't mind? xx0 -
