Find Your 'Not That Heavy' Twin!

Hi, I am a couple of weeks in restarting MFP. Looking for support / accountability. My stats are;
Age: 41
Height: 5'4"
HW: 130
CW: 125
GW: 115
I have always hovered around the 115-118 range until a few years ago. Even after having 3 kids I was able to get the baby weight off each time. I know what the problem has been and honestly it has been poor diet and letting regular exercise slip. Too many sugary snacks in between meals. I rarely drink alcohol these days, don't drink sodas and in general eat a balanced diet. I know what I have to do but changing habits is hard. I have a wardrobe full of clothes that are just too tight for comfort and I refuse to accept that it's just my age!! Feel free to add me if you're in the same boat.
For exercise I've returned to running (which is killing me as I have lost so much fitness), I also like HiiT workouts and am one week into Insanity. I am loving this workout programme as I know I'm going to get results with it, even though I can't yet keep up with the folk on the DVD!
Kicking the sugar addiction is the hardest. I had a major fail yesterday and gave in to biscuits and cakes with cups of tea. I felt so rotten afterward for the whole day. However I'm over it and moving forward again. Good luck everyone

Plus I don't know about you but having friends with almost identical goals is pretty motivating for me!! I would love to find some girls on here with goals like mine so we can really help and encourage each other on losing that fat/chub/pudge/jiggle in your wiggle/etc. !!!

I hope this brings our groups a little closer together!! :flowerforyou:

Hi all! Canadian newbie here. I just started MFP a couple weeks ago. This thread looks like a great place to start finding friends.
I am 39 and a SAHM with a 2 year old girl. I started gaining weight after we got her. (She's adopted - we are so lucky to have her!
) Go figure, being at home and eating all the time...the weight just crept up on me!
I really want to be fit for 40! (Bday in November). I've started training for my first ever 5k run in June, along with at-home resistance training to increase my energy and strength.
Height: 5'7

GW: 140
Twins (or close enough) feel free to add me. 0 -
5'8
Heaviest weight 145 (1998-2000)
CW- 110
GW- 106 is my happy weight
BF% currently 12 according to my gym trainer (not sure I believe that)
- Eating 2200 calories per day but they're not nutritious enough and I often feel too full!
- Work out 4 or 5 days a week. Always do 80-90 mins and work really hard. Do it right or go home!

Age: 24
Highest Weight: 150, but that was a long time ago. In recent past 140
Current weight: 134
Goal: 128 ish? I might want to start a recomp at 130
I do step and strengths (step aerobics with high rep weight lifting) 3 days a week, and pure step once a week. I love step! I also do 30 min a day of physical therapy/personal training exercises to strengthen my knees and ankles, which are prone to injury and soreness. Hopefully will be replacing some of those days with Stronglift 5x5 in the next few months.
I'm getting my masters in nutrition, so let me know if you have questions!0 -

Heaviest weight: 138lbs
Current weight: 130lbs
Goal weight: 110-115lbs
Lowest weight : 105lbs (when i was like 18!)
I have no clue about my body fat and all that because honestly I am sure it will make me want to cry and eat butter/salt mashed potatoes until I go into a food coma and dream about my toner days.
trying to be under 120lbs in less than 2 months. Need a partner to help me stay on track. Focused on losing weight in obliques and abs. Would like to tone thighs and butt. Also, I am horrible about carbs,need someone to be a carb nazi for me. enjoying quick intense cardio trying to do it 2x a day every other day or 1x a day 6 days a week.0 -

I'm very active - soccer, field hockey, boot camp and eat fairly well but portion sizes and one too many 'bad' snacks have caught up with me! I'd like to get back to 140ish in time for my vacation in April. Hoping this helps keep me accountable!
