I just got started on the first and I'm looking for a few more fitness pals with similar weight loss goals.
My start weight is 209 & goal weight is 149 lbs.

Thanks!!!

    I would love to join you! I had been up as high as 205. I'm just shy of 5'5" and am currently at ~198. I haven't completely decided on my goal weight yet. I would love to be back at my high school weight of ~125. But am thinking for now I should shoot for 150 as that will put me just back into the normal BMI range. So I guess for now I am wanting to lose about 50 pounds, but ultimately might want more. :smile:

    I just restarted Zumba today and will start logging food tomorrow.

    Hi! If you are still looking for friends, I started 3 months ago at 208. I'm 176 as of today. I'm heading for 140.

    Oooh, thats me! I have spent most of the last few years right around 210, and my highest is 219. I ultimately want to be around 150 but I am currently going with under 175 so I dont give myself a lofty/unrealistic goal. I will reassess when I get down that far. Looking forward to the journey, though I know it will be super difficult!

    I am just like all of you. I am a little over 200 my goal is 180. Once I hit 180 I will give myself a new goal. I am afraid if I set a larger goal I will get frustrated and give up. So I have decided to do small steps this time around. Feel free to add me also, I can use all the support and give it back in return!! :smile:

    Me, I am currently at 234 though I don't look it, I am working to get around 170-180. Just started setting 5lb/month goal for myself. I'd love to link up with people with similar situations/goals like myself. Feel free to add me.

    Hello everyone! Me too! Doctor's suggestion 3 years ago! Lose 60 - 70 pounds. I have good intentions but that's it! I am 192 and need to get to about 125...I am setting small goals of 5 pounds, maybe 10, because that is how my mind works. Good luck everyone:)

    I started at 201 and want to get down to 150. Over the past year I lost 26 pounds, but gained much of it back when my daughter had emergency surgery and a prolonged recuperation. Now I am having a hard time starting again. I need support! Please add me to your group so we can all support each other.

    Hi I'm trying to lose about 40 pounds. Last year I started my weight loss journey around 200 pounds. I lost about 40 pounds using MFP. I have fallen off the wagon the last few months and the weight is starting to pour back on... I don't even want to get on the scale because I know I'll be depressed. I don't have many friends and I'm looking for active members to keep me accountable and constantly remind me to exercise and LOG my food...I'm really bad at that! lol... add me for support!

    Me! I am aiming to lose around 4 stone! Confident in my body shape but starting to impact on my strength and clothes size so checked the scales and got a shock! You are not alone :)

    I started in June of 2014 but didn't get motivated until Sept. I was up to 218 and the biggest I have ever been in my life. I started using an elliptical machine and doing some light strength training and finally got into a routine. I am down to about 180 now but still have a long way to go. I would love to be in your group and will do my best to encourage and help keep you motivated. Good luck!!

    Me! I am currently about 205, and looking to get to 150 (and probably a little more after that, but 150 is my first major goal!). I would love new friends for motivation and support! I plan to log daily, and my dairy is open :) Please feel free to add me!!

    Peaked at 209, now at 188, aiming for below 150. First time I've shared those numbers (at least the first two!) with anyone, but this feels like a safe place since so many of us are in the same boat. Together, we can do this!

    Good morning all! I'm in the same boat :) Highest weight was 222, current is 193, goal is 122 (I'm 5'2"). I would love to add friends that are trying to lose 50+ lbs this year! Good luck to us all!

    Hi Everyone,

    Sounds like I'm in the same boat as all of you. Just getting started on Fitness Pal. I would love to join you all on the journey. I need to lose between 40-50 pounds too. I have lots to learn. I would love to add friends as well. Good luck and happy new year!

    Jo
