    Count me in....i just started on the 1st at 190 and am hoping to make my wii stop calling me obese! That means that i need to lose 70 lbs since I'm only 5 ft tall. So far I've dropped almost 6 lbs and am looking for any help I can get and will help in any way that I can :)

    I have to agree with RedAri26....I want to shop for fun not just what fits!!! I'm finding that I really look forward to the posts for motivation. So nice to know that I am not the only one that struggles!

    I am 5'3 and looking to get down to 135-140 (from just under 200). I lost weight about 4 years ago through diet and exercise and reached 134. Kicking myself for gaining it all back, plus some. Oh well! Starting again and motivated! :smile:

    5'2, 165. Highest point was 240. Been aiming at 140 for a long time but get stalled. I don't want to diet & exercise. If I do that I won't sustain it. I want to live healthy for the rest of my life. To me this means eating normal, healthy food and being active. When people (including me) say diet and exercise it usually means till we hit our goal, then we don't have to do it anymore. As many of the posts state - we lost and it comes back. Good luck to all on your journey. Perseverance does pay off, one step after the other.

    Hi I'm 238 and not tall enough for it to be a healthy bmi so need to lose 50lb or grow another couple of feet taller! I used this app before and it worked but then I stopped logging my food and put all the weight back on! Hopefully this time I will lose it and keep it off. Good luck everyone!

    I am in a similar weight loss situation. I am 214 and want to lose down to 150 by the time I turn 50 on 11/3/15. Would love to find some accountability friends.

    I am so excited today, as I lost 3# this week. My goal was to MOVE more & not just sit at my desk.
    Even split a dinner with my mom last night when the family went out to eat!!!!

    New here, 6'4 big body frame, weighting at 290 magic number for me is around 225-230

    Wanting a healthy fit life and get back in shape, i am a traveler for work for many years and I've let myself go.

    This is the year! I've started my smoothie diet 5 days ago so it's too soon to tell, having a positive attitude about it!

    Hello, I need friends on here also and started on the 7th though I have been on MFP a couple times in the past couple years. This time I plan to stay. Started at 214.6, now at 211 and looking to be around 150. Let's do this! :)
