in Health and Weight Loss
Hi, there! My name is Maria and I've been on MFP for a couple of years, but only seriously started to buckle down with my nutrition and fitness since this past summer. Weight loss is slloooooow for me. I'm about 5'3" (5'4" on a good day, LOL) and currently 163 lbs. I'm looking for friends of similar build & height, so I can check out your food diaries and get some encouragement along the way. ANY and ALL friends are great, but it's tough to relate to someone who is male or has a lot of weight to lose. My goal is 145 lbs, so I've got about 15-20 lbs to go. I also *loosely* follow the Perfect Health Diet (a form of Paleo eating) and I've started running. I'm also about to give Bob Harper's Black Fire 60-day workout program a try. I love running on trails, but I live in Northern MI so that's not possible at the moment.

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you...!!!

    Go ahead and add me. I'm 5'3.5" and 171lbs. I'm not the most consistent logger/tracker, but I do what I can. I've lost 22 pounds since September. My goal weight is also around 145.

    Good luck!

    I was at 195-ish. Now am at about 120. Still working on it, mostly body composition (fat loss, building muscle). You can TOTALLY do this! Feel free to add me! :smile:

    I'm originally from the Detroit area! Now live in SoCal.

    I am 5 4 according to me, but 5 3 according to the hospital! I'm currently at 143, down from 217 and am aiming for 126. Add me! :)

    so add me, all y'all? cos I'm 5'3, 153 and just missing size 4's. Around 120 would feel lovely, especially if I could turn it into muscle this time. I've lost weight a couple times, gotten in the 1teens but just from tons of running and low cal eating and never been able to make muscles anywhere but my legs.

    Hey :D I'm 5'3 at 180. I'd like to get down to 140. Sadly, my diary is private though. I'd still like to be your friend =)

    you're welcome to add me! I'm 5'2.5" and about 160 currently, age 44. I also have started eating mostly paleo-style (more for specific health reasons than because I think it is some magic weight loss tool). I'm not always good about logging food and my diary is private, but I do talk about what I eat and I am always willing to share. My goal is 120, but I will be very happy to even touch 138 again (which was my norm for many years before a recent weight gain)!

    5'3, 170 lbs right now. My goals are going in increments so my goal right now is 160 and I'll set a new one once I see how I feel at that weight. Most of my exercise is walking and my body cycle. Feel free to add me!

    You're welcome to add me. I'm 5'4 and about 175, with ~30 pounds to go, which is likely to take me another year. (I've lost 20 pounds over the last 6 months.) I log every day, even if it was a day full of poor choices or stuff that I have to eyeball and guess.

    I'm 5'3, 130, but started at over 200. I'd like to lose another 10 or so this year.

    I love running and would like to get into trail running (I've done a couple half marathons in the last few months and am planning another around St. Patrick's Day. Like you, my trail running will probably wait a bit, as I'm in Chicago).

    Feel free to add me! 5' 3" 140 lbs right now. I've regained some weight I lost during my last semester. My goal weight is 120-115. I lift and run but MN is not great for trail running right now. ;(

    Hi! I am 4'11" and about 118 lbs. I want to lose around 15 lbs. I will know I'm there when my clothes fit better again and I lose my fat face. The pic I posted is a few years old (so don't be fooled). We can do it. :smiley:
