Hello!
I'm reaching out for any ladies who are starting at a similar weight/height as me and would like to be friends.
I'm also open to any new friends, period!
A little about me:
I'm 5'6, 27 years old
Starting weight was 242 and I am now sitting at 220
My current goal is to see 215, then 199, and ultimately 160
Once I reach 160 I will set a new goal based on how I look and feel
I don't have any children
I work full time and have a part time job
I've been a member of MFP since Summer 2013 and have had some serious ups and downs and commitment issues
Feeling a renewed devotion to the site, I'd love to add some new faces to my news feed!

    I feel you sweeting I will be sending you a request!! Although I am only 5'3 so no short girl discriminating :). I am 215 and would like to see myself drop to at least 175 before reevaluating my goals. My ultimate goal would be between 135 and 150 but I am trying to be realistic to not get my hopes up this time around. Been a member since 2009 and I have the same commitment problem.

    I'm a little older than most of you, at 36, but I feel like I'm in my 20's...lol. I'm currently at 208, but I've been up and down from 235 to 160 over the last 10 years. I also have a renewed sense of commitment and desire to get healthy (not necessarily "skinny"). My goal is to get back to 160 again, because I felt the most healthy there, but may readjust when I get there. Feel free to add me if you'd like. I have an open food diary.

    Hey there! I'm a 26 years old. My highest weight was 218. This time around, my starting weight was 209, down to 206 today. I'm 5'3". My long term goal is about 140-150lbs, but for now I'm focused on losing in 10-lb increments. Smaller, realistic goals! I don't mind if you have the same stats as I do or not, just be serious and determined. Friend me and let's push each other to hit our goals! Time to put in work!

    Good morning everyone! I'm 31, 5' 5" and am at my highest weight...207.5. I started this a few years ago when I was about 15 pounds lighter, but have also had my ups and downs and have not been consistent. My ultimate goal is 130, but my goal is 155 by the end of 2015. I might be completely content at 155, but like you, I will see how I feel when I am at that weight. I am single, never been married, and no kids. Feel free to add me, I could always use, just like we all could use, people who are in the same boat for support! :smiley:

    Good morning, I'm 37, 5'6'' and as of this morning I'm 223.6 pounds. My goal is to lose weight at 10 pound increments also. I am married, and we don't have any children yet. My goal is to lose as much as I can before September, this is the month we would like to start trying to have a child. My husband is super motivated and has lost at least 20 pounds since September. He is still in the 300's and motivated as ever. I am a full time teacher and I also have a part-time job. I just need that extra push too. Hope we can help each other.
