    Hello everyone! I'm also looking for some accountability friends. I am currently 5'8", 22yo, 149 lbs- shooting for 130. I'm just learning how to run/exercise without access to a gym. I've added a few of you- hope that's ok! :)

    Good morning! Im Shawnda and today is my first day on My Fitness App! I want to lose 28 lbs. I will lose 28lbs! Im 5'6" and currently weigh 158. I started a running program that has me programmed to run a half marathon on December 13. I love running but I can't seem to stay on track for more than 2 months w/o stopping for 2-3 weeks due to a small injury or lack of motivation. I really lose motivation when I run for 4 weeks and not 1 pound comes off! Whats up with that? Oh I know the pints of ice cream didn't help so I cut those out. It's time to get serious. I stopped drinking alcohol March 1, 2015. I stopped smoking April 18. Now im ready to get fit and sexy!!!

    So I'm back here again trying to finally achieve my goal of losing the last 6kgs (13lbs) and want friends to keep each other accountable! With work I find it hard to eat healthy and do any exercise. If you want someone to help keep you motivated on your journey then add me :)

    Add me!! We all should help motivate each other on a daily if needed! I am 5'3 and currently 153 I would love to get back down to 130! I had back surgery in August 2014, nothing major, it's been hard to get back my energy since I've put on the weight.

I start my gyms 8 week challenge Sunday, and my initial goal (before seeing my body fat %) is to lose 10 lbs (5'8" and 142 starting) I do work out HARD 5 days/week, but i need to clean up my diet. Would love to know what macro % work for all of you and I'm really struggling with a sweet tooth..

    I am buckling down to finally hit my goal weight! I had a bunch of inactive MFP friends, so I cleaned house and need to make new accountability partners.

    Add me and I promise I'll cheer you on!

    I'm new to the group.
    I lost 71 lbs last year just with calorie deficit but then I quit MFP and gained back 40lbs. I endulged in everything... wrong move. This time I want to not only do calorie counting but I want to exercise too. I've joined the YMCA and I swim and do water aerobics and walking and soon will start some kind of gym routine after I get the orientation this week.
    I am 5'8 172.5 lbs and 45 yrs old.
    I want to get down to 140 lbs.
    I have about 32 lbs to lose.
    I would absolutely love some accountablity friends !!

    I have been trying to lose those last 5-10 extra pounds for over a year now. I stopped logging about 9 months ago and I am actually amazed that I haven't gained tons back. I am currently ~135 and would lobe to get to 125-130. I am also working on getting more toned. I am back on MFP starting today and plan to log every day. I would love some buddies and so plan on adding a bunch of you from this thread. Hope that is ok!

    Heya,

    I've been struggling for the last 6 months or so to get rid those last 10+ lbs, or rather to change some of them them for muscles. Would love some new people around for input and motivation. Already added some of you but feel free to add me, too.

    I was on a very strict diet because I thought I was experiencing major allergic reactions to most foods. I had started on September 26, 2014. I lost almost 50lbs. and over 40 inches and was down to 122 lbs. When I recently finally got to get in to see a rheumatologist, I found out I didn't have food allergies after all. Soo........ I totally lost all control except for not having any caffeine now in almost 1 year. I have already gained 10 lbs since May 15th when I had my hysterectomy. I am joining a gym very soon. I am 5'4.5 tall, and would like to stay motivated inside the gym while maintaining a healthier way of eating. Any motivation and/or suggestions, etc. would be very much appreciated, as I am willing to help others as well!!

    Hi Abby! If you mean communicating with people on here:

    - On the forums - just click "Quote" to post a public response to someone's post. That'll put a line of code at the top of your message, which will include whatever they said. (You can crop this, as long as you leave the brackets and everything between them [ ]

    - In general - Click on someone's username. You should be able to send them a private message. :)

    Hi! I'm hoping to rekindle my motivation here... I hit my heaviest around November (171lbs) and have been steadily trying to get back to the 138 I was for so long. At this point, even the 140's would be fantastic.

    I'm 5'7, currenting 160 lbs. I carry it mostly in my hips. I'm less concerned about actual numbers on the scale and more concerned about the fact that there's such a disparity between my hips and my waist. It's hard to find slacks that don't leave me with 8" of waistband...

    If anyone wants a daily "check in" buddy to say, "Hey! Did you run/walk/lift/do anything today?" let me know. :D
