in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm looking for friends that are in the same boat as me. I'm 5'5" and weight 181 (a fact I hate to admit). I gained the weight from my pregnancy with my daughter who is now two. I fluctuated between 108 and 135 before my pregnancy and want to get back there again. I need some motivational friends to help keep me going.

    Count me !. I was just perusing the internet trying to find some inspiration. I, too, am 181 lbs, and 5'6". I am so tired of restrictive diets, pills, shots and binge eating to boot! I love it when my stomach is flatter and my clothes fit looser. Thanks for your post. You have inspired me.

    While dieting can be difficult, the key is exercise. When you start to see results from both diet and exercise, it can be motivating. Take your youngster with you, push a stroller, pull a wagon but do something! You will feel much better, both physically and mentally. Drive on!

    Hi there! You can do this! I'm 5'4" and a few months ago I was at 193. With exercise and watching what I eat I'm already down to 166. It's not easy but so worth it and POSSIBLE! You can do it! Add me as a friend if you want - I'll cheer you on. :)

    Hi! We're kinda similar. I'm 5'1", started around 180, currently 155 and GW of 135 and will re evaluate once I get there, might go lower.

    Hopefully I can serve as a bit of inspiration ;) I'm 5'7 and started at 176 in January. I'm now down to 119. So while my stats don't match EXACTLY, they're fairly close to your goals. Wanted to let you know it is possible with hard work!! Don't let others deter you or tell you your goals aren't achievable!! :) You go girl!

    Hi my top weight in life was 199lbs and by the time I got here I was 166 I lost a few put some back on when I went on vacation, but I have taken most of that back off since then. Now c.w. is 162.8. I am 5'1" and my goal weight is around 120-125. I have been on a fast metabolism diet and I really hope it works. However I will motivate, support and try to be an all around good friend. I won't give up on anyone. If I see yo are not active and not logging I will try to remind you in a friendly wa , hay you can do this don't give up. I really do care about all of us making our goal, whether you are a friend of mine or not.

    I want us to change the world. I know we can on day at a time. You never know what your example can lead to in another persons life. Just think how you making a good change could be that extra push someone else needs and it's like a chain reaction and before you know it a small change has become a huge and amazing one. It's like a smile or a kind word those may seem small, but to someone who needs it, that was worth more than money can buy right.

    So lets do this. Lets get healthy, get more eneregy, motivate each other, and change what we don't want to put up with anymore. Oh and don't forget let's go shopping for smaller cuter clothes too, because we should be able to look good, while changing even just a small part of the world.:drinker:

    I have been on MFP for a while, but I just started actively using it. Trying to lose those last few pounds before getting pregnant again. Don't ask! Anyway, I could use some friends since I have not pursed finding any since I have joined. I need like minded folks that that are wanting to lose weight and get fit. Just saying. If you see a friend request from me with no message, don't be alarmed. I'm not a psycho. Well, at least not this week. Hahaha...
