    hi
    I'm new to myfitnesspal and finding the app great. in the same boat... 5ft 1in and at 129lbs now - aiming for the 118-121lb goal and struggling too with the last 8-10 lbs.
    I'm definitely in for aiming for it by St Patricks!
    :)
    Clare.
  • I am it! 5'9" and 148. Goal is 135.
  • I am new to discussion groups. How do we account? In the discussion format or does one have to friend someone?

    Vegan ish! Mostly vegan food with some eggs and very little dairy/fish. I have trouble meeting protein requirements some days, so I really have to focus on it to help with weight loss!

    That is always my problem too! Not a huge tofu fan although we do eat it occasionally. I'm also the only vegan in our household so makes it a struggle preparing meals!

    I'm at 143, lost 10 last month and shooting for another 10 by 3/17. I'll be so happy I'll be tempted to buy something green!

    I normally try to drink 4 liters a day. So if you carry a couple bottles with you its easy to finish. And just keep sipping throughout the day. I still get the urge to pee, but as you rehydrate your body you'll start to crave water more and more especially if you exercise often. So try it get a couple of 1 liter water bottles and start slow do 1 liter a day, and the next day try 2 liters and so on... :smiley:

    Count me in! I'm 5'9" & 154lbs; goal weight is 135lbs. I just started my month of no wheats & no sweets on Tuesday (Feb 10). I'm hoping to quit my sugar habit (I have a big sweet tooth) and lose weight, so this group is a perfect fit! I lost 20lbs. over the past few years, but I yoyo like crazy. Thankfully I've been able to maintain the 155lbs since the beginning of last year, but I want to get to my goal weight sooner than later. I picked up running, moderate weight training, and yoga two years ago although, after an injury in June, I have been lazy and not working out. I'm trying to work on my diet first and then, once the weather gets nice, I'll get back into running. And that's my storey ;) Please feel free to follow my food diary and reach out if you need any support.
    Let's do this!!!

    I'm in. This is fantastic. I just finally started getting motivated, tracking what I eat and joined a gym again. I'm at 142 and would like to be around 125 again! I leave for Japan in May and really want to be on the right foot being healthy and active. We can do this ladies
  • I'm in! I did one of these last year and it was really motivating.

    Here are my stats:
    Height: 5'4"
    CW: 141
    My goal weight by St Patrick's Day = 137 (4 lb loss)
    UGW: 125

    Best of luck to everyone!
  • Yes, i would like to join. Just started a body transformation challenge and need the extra support. I have never done a challenge before and feeling rather intimidated. Not to mention I think I overdid my lat pull-ups the other night and hurt my neck/shoulder muscle. have a good day everyone!

    Hi there: I have been struggling with the last 10 since the summer, I have been changing it up started weights in my exercise program and I cut back on alcohol a lot. Turning 50 in June so I have been working at this since a year, looking for support as well as supportive to others

    We can do it! I am doing power weights class 3 x per week and increasing running miles slowly back up to 20-25 to be ready for a half marathon in April. Only lost 5 pounds in 4 months, but hoping the slow loss stays off? Would like to add a swim or yoga, but work life balance is out of wack. At 130 yesterday. 123 goal. All of you ladies' hard work is inspiring me!
  • Hi everyone! Like many just saw the community in MFP. I'm all for supporting those out there on their journey to weight loss and a better, healthier you! I'm at 165, my GW is 135-140.
    Let's go ladies, we can do this! :D

    I am joining in a little late but better late then never. I am 5'6 and weigh 162. My ultimate goal weight would be 145-150. I try to not focus completely on the scale. Since St. Patty's day is only 4 weeks away I am setting my goal for this challenge at 5 lbs lost which would get me down to 157. Right now I am training for a half marathon and trying to prepare myself for OCR racing season which starts April 11th. I mix in running 3-4 times a week, strength/core 2-3x a week and Yoga at least once a week. The half marathon is on 3/29.

    I'm in as well. I'm also new to the "community" but not the app. I've had trouble losing the rest of my baby weight. I had my third child 7 months ago. I had no trouble with the previous 2 as I was in my 20's but now I am in my 30's and it looks like it's going to take some work.

    Excellent I wanted to get in on a St. Patty's Day challenge. I did the Valentine's challenge starting January 1st. Lost 6.5 pounds and still have about the same amount or a bit more to go. So I think I can do 5 pounds by St. Patty's. Looking forward to losing with all of you!

    So, a little update for the group. I've made it through 6 days of my month of no wheats & no sweats and have lost 2lbs! The wheat cravings have subsided, but I still feel a bit weak willed at night when the sugar cravings set in. How is everyone else doing with this challenge?!

    Hi Joiedelise, I get these PC menu yogurt bars, caramel, mango and berry. They taste great and are 100 calories and it cures my sweet tooth each evening. Fruit is my second choice but it is not quite as good. Grapes are my allowable sweet that helps a lot. Hope that is a help!

    Thanks sharebear2012. I can't have the yogurt bar because of the added sugar, but an apple or a hot cup of unsweetened chocolate almond milk has been helping to satisfy the sweet craving. Has anyone tried heating up unsweetened chocolate almond milk? It is surprisingly delicious!
  • I'm also in! I recently started using MFP again and hopefully plan to lose 10 pounds by st pattys day!
  • I'm in ladies!! I weighed this a.m and was shocked! I weighed 134.8 this morning and my goal is 120. I've also been trying to lose this for a couple of years now and I'm tired of making excuses!! Any vegans in the group??

    I'm in too! Joining a little late, but better late then never :) I'm new to the community, but have been using MFP on and off for a while now.

    My stats:
    Height: 5'5"
    CW: 125
    Goal by St. Patty's Day: 120
    UGW: 115

    I recently started weight training, so that might throw off my numbers a bit!

    Today is my first day back after a few month hiatus and I'd love to jump start my weight loss. I'm 5'8 and 148, hoping to get down to 125ish eventually, but 10 pounds would be a great start! I'm a little late to the party, but count me in too

    I could really use the accountability as well :)
