    If youve done the journey many times before, then you might want to look at what went wrong and how you can avoid making previous mistakes.

    My weight and goals are almost exactly the same as yours! I am a little taller, so my goal is 160. Feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

    I know where I went wrong :) its a commitment, lack of motivation - stress issue. But i will get through it

    I am in the same boat as most of you, I'm 202 lbs. 5'7" and looking to hit 160. I am down 28 lbs. but would love some new friends to motivate and help inspire (and those who will do the same for me). Feel free to add me :smile:

    I'm 15 days in and 5 pounds down from the dreaded 200 mark I saw on the scale. The first time I tipped the 200 I was pregnant with my first and ended up gaining 60 pounds total. My goal is to get down to my pre-baby weight. A healthy but curvy 160 but more importantly I need to get in shape. I have tried before but stress always won. This time I am determined to succeed.

    Adding a few people as well because I need some accountability.

    I'm in the same boat with nearly the same stats. Started at 217 nearly 4 months ago-- now at 184. I'd love to be 140 or a bit less-- not sure what my ideal weight is since I've never been down that low. :). Doing this time. I'm committed. Add me if you'd like!!!

    That's great! Try really hard to get away from the 'diets start on Mondays' mentality. Try to see that whenever you either slip up or make a conscious decision to eat over your calories, you can start again right away.

    I'm in too. I'm 5'3" and weigh 189.2 lbs. Heaviest I have ever been. Clothes not fitting; out of breath doing normal things. Just turned 51 and hit menopause and the pounds are not going away. New to tracking; was going to try WW again but figured I could try the principles I have learned from that program before and use MFP as a tracking tool. My long term goal is to hit the 150 mark; losing 39 lbs. Short term I am looking to lose 10 lbs so I can get back into some clothes that have recently become too tight.

    Hey everyone. Me again! I am at a point where I need to see some progress for my efforts. We are all around the same height/weight and have the same goals. Wondering if we could start a group where we can support each other and hopefully reach our goals!!
