    I am at about 245 and shooting for 185. I am 5'10" and 60 years old. I would love to find a friend who is also tall, "mature," and in the same weight zone. It would be fun. Best wishes to all of you! Our bodies will forgive us very quickly if we start treating them right.

    I am as well! The biggest thing for me is motivation. I always start, but then I get busy with school or I am too tired to do anything. Last year I did a workout for a good two months but then I stopped

    BUMP! I am 25 years old, 180 and would like to get down to about 120-130 (I am 5'4). The best shape of my life I was at 118 with a rock hard body. Since turning 21 I discovered my love of booze, I am also a huge foodie so the weight has really crept on. Some pretty intense hardships made me comfort eat my way up to where I am now. I've been on MFP for years and never stuck to it. This is going to be the year! add me = )

    I am in the same boat. I started at 340 last november. By Jan. I was 300 but I was using the Omnitrition drops, which are a scam btw. I lost all that because they have you eating 500 calories a day. My brother showed me this app this Thanksgiving and I have lost 18 lbs. My tricks are exercise everyday, marking down a lesser number in the calories burned exercise calculator, and marking down EVERY BITE thats goes in your mouth. I couldn't believe how much I was eating until I actually saw it. My goal is 220 so I have about 60 lbs left.
    Keep up the good work, it's is one of the hardest things to do but if it were easy, it wouldn't be worth it.

    Hey me too! I weighed in at 209 at the drs on 12/31 and need to get to 150. I've decided my first goal is to 175, but ultimately 150.

    Hi! I'm trying MFP again. I've tried it for 2-3 week spurts a couple of times (and usually stopped on a day I ate like crap and didn't want to log), but this time I'm going to do it religiously until I get this weight off. I'm currently at 185 and would like to end up around 135, although I'm taking it 10 pounds at a time and will ultimately see what the "ideal" weight is for me at 49 years (probably not the same as it was when I was 25). I eat "clean" about 85% of the time; it's the 15% that gets me in trouble (usually when I'm stressed, crabby, or too busy to plan ahead). I'm trying to change that this year and hoping that having to be accountable each day will help. Feel free to invite me. I would love the support and would do my best to support you all.

    I am restarting at 191 (highest was 210 and I'm 4'11") and want to reach 120 where I was my happiest when I was younger. Although, I would settle for 130. I have full belief that I will finally get out of the 190s. So excited! I need friends who will kick my butt when I need it and motivate me when I get discouraged! We can do this ladies!

    I am returning to MyFitnessPal and I also need lots of support and motivation. I have about 100 lbs to lose and hate going to gym and love eating food. Need motivation for both exercise and good healthy eating habits. As you can see from picture, my husband can eat anything.

    Hi Everyone! I started using MFP the day after Thanksgiving & have dropped almost 20 lbs since then! (It has slowed down, of course) It's a pretty amazing tool. But if I can do it thru the holidays, anyone can! Still got about 60 lbs to go to around 130. Please count me in-would love to have & share support! Together we can achieve our dreams!

    Hi all! I've been an on-again, off-again user of MFP. Having received a fitbit for Christmas, I decided to begin diligently logging my meals again since then. I started at 266 with a goal of 220 for now (6'5" 44M). I am down about 5 pounds after re-starting my healthy eating program. Feel free to add me as a friend, and I hope we can all help each other achieve our goals.
