    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!
    :)

    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 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!!!

    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!

    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!
