Hello MFPs!!! Here it goes, I'm 5'8 3/4 looking to get myself down to 147 and I was wondering two things.
1. Is anyone out there that is already approximately this hight and weight (I'd love to see what that looks like for motivation!)
2. I would like a few friends with the same goals as I do.
Thanks for reading!

    Hi!
    I am 5'9 with an ultimate goal of 155. Started in February at 177.9 lbs, 8 weeks later I am at 162.7 lbs. Feel free to friend me, and look at my pictures!

    I'm fairly close to your goals....I'm 5'8 and currently hovering around 170lb. I'd like to get to 155 at least.....147 would be better! :happy: I actually started around 186, but didn't really start using MFP until 176. I'm sticking pretty close to my 1200 calories per day (I go over a bit on the weekends sometimes) and am doing the C25K program. The pounds have been coming off REALLY slow for me, but the inches have been a better story! Feel free to friend me!!!

    Hi
    I'm also 5'8, though unfortunately not as slim as yourself YET! Im currently 195lbs with an (eventual) goal of 140lbs. Was last that weight 5 years (and 3 babies) ago, and was roughly a very trim 10/12......currently a flabby 16 (uk sizes). Will get there again though!

    I'm 5'9 and weighed in at 147 this morning! my goal is 140 becasue I still have squishy/jiggly parts, but this body is defintely something I could live with if suddenly I just can't lose any more lbs. :)

    I am 5'8" and have a goal of 145. I started at 175.8 then got down to 147, but really screwed up over the winter months, so I am basically starting over at 166 as of today. I am really hoping to be 145 by the start of this Fall and keep working out and eating right to maintain it.

    I am nearly 5'9 and my goal right now is to reach 170. I have been down to 150 before and I dont look healthy, think large frame, muscle-ly, (I work with horses). I just started with MFP about a month ago when I broke my leg. I have any physical limitations right now, but I am keeping with my 1200 cals and walking with my crutches 30 some mins a day. I cannot wait till mid april when I get my screws out and am allowed to walk again.

    Friend me of you like!

    I'm 5'8" and started myfitnesspal nearing 170. I was between 140 and 150 through high school, college and the first few years after college.... trying to get back into that range. I'd be satisfied at 150 -- giddy at 145 -- singing the hallelujah chorus at 140. ;)
