Hi all, I'm 5'5", currently 210 lbs (SW: 235) and amj looking to get down to 150 lbs eventually. I have always had issues with my weight and am looking for some motivation to help keep me on track.

25lbs already! That's a great accomplishment! You've already made it this far! You've got this!

I'm 5'5" and completely aghast at the number on the scale. How does it keep going up? I thought I had been starting healthy habits, but clearly not enough! The past year or two have been rough, and I did that whole emotional eating thing. I'm hoping to lose 20-40 lbs, but I'm trying to focus on health more than weight!

Love all this support and encouragement!
I'm 34 years old, 5'2 and would like to lose 75lbs... or i should say i want to feel good and feel amazing about myself. I'm down 11lbs since starting back on MFP 3 weeks ago... and down almost 14 inches overall. I've been exercising 6 days a week (fitness walking 3-4 miles) and eating between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. It's hard with 2 kids who love junk food and a husband who is supportive but "forgets" I'm trying so hard to eat healthy. I'm also on medications for Crohn's that definitely do not help but I'm not going to let that stop me this time!
I know we can all do this!!

I'm 36, 5'4", and weigh 163. This is huge for me. Trying to overcome depression from failed pregnancies and get back to where I used to be. I haven't logged on to MFP in a long time, but when I did I realized I've already lost some weight (was 180 at my heaviest, when preg). I'm hoping for some camaraderie and motivation with this group! Goal weight is 120.

I'm 5'1", SW 200, down to 184 (1 year later), turning 36 on Sunday and want to get my *kitten* together to be fit by 40. I've just started the C25K program. I'm on W1D2.

I am about 5'6-7", looking to lose 40 total. Down 5 or so now.

Recently injured my knee during a women's field hockey game. Hoping it isn't bad (MRI next week) so I can keep up with the weight loss! If it is, would love to have suggestions on how to at least lose a little just through diet. I have always done a combo diet/exercise.

I have been up and down in my weight since high school. Always been a very active person, playing sports and exercising recreationally, and a "healthy eater." Once I started logging foods I noticed a difference. It is amazing what those extra calories can do!

Feel free to add!

I am 44, 5'5" and looking to lose about 60. I lost down to about 178 1.5 years ago, my lowest since 2006, and have crept back up to 209. I can't stand it.

I'm counting calories (eating based on Scooby's TDEE), avoiding foods that tend to trigger cravings for me (mainly sugar and wheat) and doing weightlifting/crossfit. However, I hurt my knee on vacation last week so need to chill for another week or so. Glad to find a like-minded group!

Hi Ladies, feel free to add me on. I'm 5'4 1/2 currently at 139 trying to reach my goal of 127. I enjoy getting to know and learning from people with like minded goals.

Hi Ladies! I'm 45, 5'4" and 177lbs. I want to lose approx 30 with a goal weight of 145. This is not my first go 'round. I shed close to 40lbs a couple of years ago with MFP. I fell. I fell hard. Regained most of it back. I never left MFP but I never regained my determination and focus. I'm ready now. Feel free to add me!

I'm 5'7" and currently 192! Started at 199 with this app! I'd love it if some of you ladies added me! I need encouragement.

I'm 5'5. I got down to 140 a few years ago but I am up to 160 now I need to get motivated again!

29 female in the portland, or area looking for a workout buddy. I am 5'6 and currently 160lbs. Looking to lose 20 lbs. New to the area and hoping to find someone else with the same or similar goals. Up for the gym, hiking, walking, biking...

Hi!

Age: 26
Height: 5'1
Starting weight (originally): 190; 170 (2nd time)
Current weight: 140

In high school the lowest I got was in the 150s. During college I became a very unhealthy vegetarian and gained 40lbs. During my senior year of college (2011) I lost 30, then gained back 10, I was floating there for a long time). In January of this year I decided on trying a new diet and lost 30lbs.

Still going strong with a new goal weight of 130 or 120... Whatever I feel happy/comfortable with.

I find that trying new recipes and workouts help a lot. I put a weight loss chart in my room so I can check off pounds I lost and also a list of rewards I get at each 10 pound milestone. I also hung up a size 8 dress near my closet so I saw it everyday and was reminded to keep going.

Lastly, I joined Instagram (twentyfitteen) with a weight loss only page. I'm a visual person so seeing pictures of old me helped a lot and seeing a bunch of fitness related things/people was super encouraging.

Stay strong everyone!!!!

I'm 5'5" and started at 175 - looking to drop 20 pounds. Planning on doing it slowly so could use some support for the long haul!

I need some more motivational friends on here! Im 5'5" and looking to lose about 70lbs. Add me, and lets motivate each other!!
