in Introduce Yourself
Hello. I have about 60 to 70 lbs to lose if not more. I will see when I get there. I am one of those people who look like I weigh less than the number on the scale so I'm not sure of the exact weight I wanna weigh yet. I'm more concerned with being healthy and being in good shape for MY body. :)

I'd like to meet people who have a good amount of weight to lose like myself. I'm currently 5'4 and 228 lbs.

I lost 48 lbs last year on low carb and put all but 10 lbs back on. Sigh.

    Wow that is really good, way to go. How long has it taken you to loose that much if you don't mind me asking? If you don't mind can add you to?

    I've already lost a little but as I'm still 227lbs at 5'4" (yeah, our stats are almost identical!) I have ways to go yet... Definitely on the market for friends with more to lose, so I'll add you (and anyone else who fits the description can also add me if they wish). :smile:

    Hi Muzik! I've got 104 lbs to lose and I'm about halfway there. You definitely CAN do this!

    I log in every day so if you're looking for active MFPers I'm one of 'em. :D

    Hi! I'm Lizzy. I'm new and have been trying to log in everyday. I would like to drop 80 to 85 lbs. I'm 5'1", 202 lbs. I have terrible self-control and have little support in my home. I would like to have friends for motivation, tips, etc.

    Hi, I have been a member for awhile but had to have surgery and now I am back starting over again and hopefully for the last time. I have 100 pounds to lose. I know what it's like to lose and put it back. You can add me if you like.

    I'm in the same boat - on paper I have a lot to lose, but the way I carry my weight I often look less than I am. I would love to be 175 again which is still 20lbs from the top of my weight range (I'm 5'6) but I look pretty good there!!

    Welcome. Like you, I'll know what I want when I see it, but I'm thinking a good place to start will be with a 50 pound weight loss which will put me at 150. Much success! I sent you a request too!

    Thanks everyone! Still looking for more friends like myself. I'm 41 and need to lose about 65 lbs. Maybe more, I'll know when I get there. I'm 5'4. I'm also wanting to know if there's anyone in NC, like the Greensboro, surrounding areas?? :)

    Im Kaylee, I support your move into fitness and being more healthy. The best of luck to you. As a suggestion, I found a way to balance my weight and get better results, I struggled for YEARS to have healthy consistent weight, id lose thirty in 2 months and within a couple weeks I would gain every bit and then some back, try to set yourself on a eating schedule. I know it gets complicated. Trust me, 2 jobs and a full time student, majority of the time I dont have any ME time. But what I do is regardless I wake up at 7:30 a.m., at 8 am I eat, then every two hours I eat something, until I reach 4 or 5 meals a day eating no more than 400-500 calories each time. Its increased my metabolism and helped blast through plateaus in my weight allowing me consistency without the heartbreak worrying about a scale.. I wish you the best of luck in your journey

    Hello! My name is Heather and I am new here to MFP, I just started last week. I also have a lot of weight to lose and could use some friends for support as I am 5'8 and 318. (I am now at 313, lost 5 lbs that first week!) It will help tremendously to talk to people going through the same thing I am. I would love to lose aroung 165 pounds to be around 150.
