    Hi everyone I don't seem to fit the height requirement of this post. :) I am a 6' tall guy but I have lost 177 lbs with 73 to go. I understand the struggle. Anyone can feel free to add me for support. Have a great day!

    Me! I'm 5'3". Previously lost 15kgs but regained 10kg. Goal weight is about 20-23kg less than I am now, so about 50lbs. I'm a lot fitter than I was last time so I'm carrying the weight better but still - it has to go! I've only been on MFP two weeks. Would love some support - add me!

    Hello I have been on Myfitnesspal for over 2 years and I lost 52 pounds with it, since then I have gained close to 20 pounds. I am desperately needing to get back on track because I am not willing to go where I was after all this hard work! I started at 219.4 pounds went all they way to 166.6 last August, my clothes was starting to look nice on me and I felt so good about myself! I loved to look at myself in the mirror! But now I feel very discouraged and upset with myself because I let myself go! I didn't stop exercising but I wasn't doing it as often and I was not logging my food which is the most important part of this journey!! My clothes are so tight on me but I refuse to buy bigger sizes! This should be a motivation to keep going forward!! So here I am looking for pals that are on the same path as me so we can motivate each other!! Support from other people usually is the key to success!!

    Hello PerlaRubi2013,

    First off, congrats on your success thus far! Thats awesome! And the 20 pounds you gained will come flying off once you get back on track.

    I too am desperate for needing to get back on track but I just can't seem to start. I'm 5'3 and weigh close to 240. I weighed 164 about 4 years ago so I've gained quit a bit of weight in a short period of time ( medications, life changes, fell back into bad habits along the way) But I want to get back into those skinny clothes in the closet! I miss my 165 self!

    This isn't my first weight loss journey, I lost 112 lbs about 10 years ago by counting calories and working out...so I know I can do this. But like you said, starting is the hardest part.

    My first goal is to get below 200. Today is my first day.
    Feel free to add me :smile:

    I'm 5'2 and 186lbs. I started on this site almost 2 years ago at 182lbs and went down to 138lbs. I was doing fine until I quit logging and slowly started eating more again. I went up to 157lbs and found out I was pregnant with my first child. At the end of the pregnancy, I weighed in at 189lbs. I really need to get this weight off once and for all! Feel free to add me :)
