Hi everyone. I'm looking for some motivation and people to add on here who have similar goals to get this weight loss journey going again.
I am at my highest weight right now, my pants fit tight :( ...I love my body but I feel bloated and uncomfortable in my own skin...
I'm 23 years old and 130 pounds. I am 5'3 and small boned. I have a typical 9-5 desk job, just graduated college so sitting all day is so hard for me.!!!!!!

I want to lose 15 pounds and be around 115!! I need support!

    Hi =) I am in a similar situation as you are. I am 5'3" and work a 9-5pm desk job. Like you, my goal is 115 lbs (I am only 3 lbs shy of my goal!). Feel free to add!

    Well you already added me but hi! I'm 131 since my honeymoon (we ate a lot, I gained 10 pounds, have lost 4ish) and stuckkkkk!
    I'm 5'5 and have a desk job too and it's terrible!
    My goal is anywhere from 105-115. I said this the other day, but it's so hard to have motivation when you're not even overweight!

    I'm in the same situation. I'm 5'3 130 pounds and have a desk job 8-5. I want to be in the 110-115 range by the time I get married next summer!! It's so hard to get motivated! I added you :)

    Me too! It really is so hard to get motivated when you're not overweight.

    I'm in the same situation as you. Just got back to school so it's mostly sitting around. I'm also 5'3 and I believe right now I'm 135 (last time I weighed I was 130, but with the relocation and whatnot, I think I gained weight). Anyway, I want to get down to 110-115 as well. :D

    Add me, and let's support each other =)

    Hey ladies! i'm 24 and 5'3 also. currently 120 but my starting weight was 135 and my goal is 115. I'm in the middle of my weight loss journey and working hard!!! I am new to myfitnesspal but so far it has been really educational and inspirational. I totally agree that it is so hard to really try when we aren't really overweight but I have recently decided to try my hardest and give 100% to try to get to my goal. What do you guys think about what is a healthy weight spectrum for us being early 20's and similar height?

    hi everyone!

    i seem to fit the criteria of this thread lol. I am 25 years old and 5"1: starting weight = 140, current weight = 120, goal weight = 110.

    my weight loss journey has really slowed down, not because I am not trying but just because it becomes so hard to lose those last few pounds! i might even be losing less than half a pound a week, despite exercising more than previously.

    Hi! I'm in sort of a similar situation too. 5'3 1/2, about 120 right now, I think. It's the highest weight I've ever been, and very uncomfortable. I think I'd like to lose around 15 pounds, but I'm trying to focus on how I feel instead of number this time around.

    Nice to meet all of you!
