    Hi everyone -

    I like you am 5'7" and currently 190 lbs and have a goal to reach a goal of 150. I am also taking baby steps as I am recovering from knee surgery and just been released to start using it again. I have a short term goal of 180 which is my pre-winter weight, but wanting to go the distance. Looking for support and motivation. Please include me in the group.

    I'll jump on board here too. 5'2" and recently crossed the dreaded 200 mark and landed at 205 with none of my clothes fitting me anymore. A whole new wardrobe is not an option so I am serious about losing it. I am aiming for 140ish and will decide if I reach there if I want to lose any more. But to start, my goal is to drop those first 5 lbs so I can actually sit comfortably in my largest pair of jeans!

    Hi healthybearey, as I was reading your journey it sounded a lot like mine. I'm currently 5'6 205 lbs and my goal is 150 lbs. I joined another gym (second time around) and met up w/a trainer today but can't seem to come to fork out all that dough. I'm in desperate need of a fitness buddy if you would like to add me. I like to work out 3X's a week. Let's do this

    Hi. I'd like some more MFP friends. I'm 4'10" and have been stuck at 187 pounds for a long time now. I lost about 36 pounds last year. I started walking in January and recently joined a gym, but know I'm staying the same because I eat too much. I just started making more of an effort to eat less and hope the weight will finally start to come off again! My goal is to be 165 pounds, because that's what my doctor set me. That's too big for my height so when I eventually get there I'll see if I want to lose more. Please add me if you would like :)

    Today is Sunday! I got a new phone and added this wonderful app. Tomorrow is Monday and I want to motivate everyone by my actions. I belong to a gym, but have not stepped in the door for 4 months. I'm 180 pounds, give or take, and I want to get down to 165. I'm 5'7. I want to work out 6 days a week, but my 1st week will be 4 days due to vacation travel up north: 30 minutes treadmill and 20 minutes weights with 10 of stretching. I love doing yoga and just bought a 10 sessions pass to use by sept. 1st. I'm ready to go! Please add me. I'm super jazzed.
