    I need to continue to eat clean. I've found that my daily net calories need to be around 900 to lose half-one pound weekly.

    Hi!
    New to the group. It will take me awhile to get through 33 pages to find my twin so I thought I'd post and maybe someone will find me, too.

    Age 48
    5'6"
    Highest adult weight: 128
    Current weight: 122
    Goal weight: 116ish

    I also want to be more toned. I used to do yoga 7 days week, as well as pilates, free-weight and aerobics. However, due to illnesses and injuries I stopped everything 3 years ago. I'm slowly getting back into exercise but can only do about 15-20 minutes of aerobics daily. No weights yet. Minimal toning exercises. This will be a slow process!

    We seem to have similar goals. Im a bit shorter, in to the yoga (wow, isnt there a song about that?) , and always starting off slow over and over (chronic back pain).

    I'm 31, two kids (11 and 7). Working full time (40-50 hrs a week) and hubby not home until real late (10pm) which puts a hinder in the whole gym thing anymore. Finding time to work out is my main struggle right now.
    Height 5' 6"

    Would love new friends, especially to meet a twin!

    Height: 5'0
    Highest weight: 165
    Current weight: 122
    Goal weight: 110
    Body fat: no idea :/

    I am not sure if that would be a healthy weight but I'd like to pursue a flat tummy and toned body.

    Think I may be your twin!

    Height : 4'11"

    I hate cardio but love strength training! Just trying to look and feel better and feel confident in my own body again.

    Hi All!

    Height: 5'4''
    Age: 29
    Heaviest: 144 (summer 2010)
    Current: 133
    Goal: 120-125 (summer 2013)

    I am a flight attendant and find routines to be impossible to maintain. I am active a good portion of most days, but sleep and adequate rest is a struggle- I fly overnights from New York to Europe and back 5-7 times per month. I eat healthy for someone who is forced to eat out a lot. I am running my first marathon in July 2015. I'm looking to get back into the low 120s for both running ease and because I frankly look and feel better at that weight.

    Please add me if you'd like.

    Where is my twin at???

    Age: 20 in January
    Height: 5' 10"
    Heaviest: 190lbs
    Current: 180lbs
    Goal: 160lbs

    I am a sophomore at Penn State. I live a pretty active life (5 years of volleyball, 4 years of track, 10 years of soccer, 11 years of ballet) but my biggest weakness is over-eating and having too many unhealthy snacks. My overall goal is to get my body to a point where I can do almost anything and look good doing it. I am an athlete, I love being active, so I need my body to be able to perform.

    Feel free to add me on here! I know we could all use eachothers support!

    Goodluck ladies! (:

    Hello!!! I'm new to MFP (used a different app before, heard this one was better). This group seems to fit me, and I think it'll be nice to be among like-minded women. Does anyone else ever hear, and get sick of hearing: "Why are you trying to lose weight? You're fine!!" :\

    Age: 30
    Height: 5'4"
    Heaviest: 185 lbs
    Currently:140 lbs
    Goal Weight: ~125 lbs

    I eat fairly well, indulging only occasionally...I'm just so so so so lazy! I don't really have space to be active in -- and I really like yoga and pilates. I'm considering a gym membership this year, but I'll be moving, so IDK. :)

    Pretty sure I've posted here before, but here I go again!

    Age: 33
    Height: 5'-2"
    Heaviest: 150
    Current: 131 (I'm also preggo - normal weight is @ 125)
    Goal Weight: For now, just want to gain at a reasonable rate, then get back to @‌ 125.

    I love weight training and dislike cardio, other than the stuff I do for fun and not exercise (biking, hiking).

    Hope you're out there, MFP twin!

    CW 116-117?
    110-112, but really appaerance and tone are my biggest concern. I gain in late fall typicically and start losing about now. Any less than 108 is too much (I still have curves at that weight), but around 110-112 is usual perfect for muscle tone, running speed, feeling fit, and feeling hot! (Although I don't feel bad about myself now either). I have a labor job and I run, so I can carry a few extra lbs better than someone who sits around a lot.

    5'7.5" (that .5" comes in very handy :wink:
    Age: 35
    Highest: 171
    Current: 166
    Goal: 140

    My weight was a roller coaster this past year. I managed to get down to 155ish but then of course sabotaged myself. I'm really good at getting down to 160-162 pounds but then I manage to gain 5-7 pounds.

    In early 2013 I was 145 pounds and looked great. I would be happy to get down to that. I think at 140 I will look more cut. Not really interested in being skinny - just fit. Heck, I'd take being 170 pounds if it was due to muscle.

    BTW, I see a lot of people that are around my height and weight. For those of you that are - do you also stare at the scale in disbelief. I don't think I look like I weigh as much as I do and most people are surprised when I tell them.
