I'm 5'4" and back into the 180s :( just had my third child eight months ago. I am focusing on diet for now. My first goal is 160, but I'd prefer to eventually get down to 127. I've never been this big apart from shortly after my kids..this is later than usual for me to be this heavy. I'd love someone I can pm or even text often to talk about our diet or motivate one another. I'm a chatty person. I'm 25 and I live with my boyfriend and three kids. I'm a vegetarian as well. If anyone is interested in helping one another, feel free to add and/or message me.

    I'm up late a lot and actually on more at night because of my kids so it could work :) I'll definitely add you. I hope you are having no trouble in your way to your goal. My biggest issue is stress eating.. Lol

    So, I'm 5'7, but am up at 200 now :( I am looking for a supportive group to help keep me motivated. I love the idea of participating in challenges to help keep motivated and wonder if I could join your FB group ?

    I'm 5'2" and right now I weigh 153 lbs. I'm only 19 and I want to be able to start working out not only to just lose weight and look good but to feel good and be fit.

    I'm 4'11" and started out around 190. I'm in my 30's and am currently back in the 110-120's range (waiting on my scale to be delivered) for the first time since high school. I'll share what worked for me!

    Hello! I do not run the group but look it up, it is called Fit and Healthy Minds if I remember right, if you send a join request that should work, say I sent you!

    Hi,
    Last year I was down to 160 and ballooned back up to 190's. I'm 5'3 and while not back to my heaviest (around 230), I'm terrified that I'm heading that way. Really need some help and encouragement. I'm 43, but 20 something at heart and have an almost 10 year old son.

    Hi! I'm Hannah. I'm 5'3, 25 yo, and current weight is 185. I lost about 50 pounds over a year and a half using mfp but in a year and a half i also put all the weight back on. 2 moves, grad school, and living with my fiancee have all kept me from making good choices lately. Today is actually my first day back on mfp since... january maybe? I used to run and lift heavy but for right now im just focused on getting this eating situation under control. Please, everyone who has posted, feel free to add me! We can do this together!!
