Looking for motivating friends with similar goals! 5'6, 176 looking to get down to 135!

Hi there! I've been on MFP on and off for several years, that being said I've gained and lost weight on this journey! Last spring I was down 35 lbs and so close to my goal weight and managed to put it all back on! I've finally gotten back on track and I'm down 12lbs since Sept 1st...Looking for motivating friends to help keep each other on track! Similar goals would be a plus! Feel free to add me :)

    I'm 5'5 and 179 as of right now. My goal weight is 120-135lbs. I've lost 40 pounds in a little under 4 months. Still have a long way to go though :/

    Am 5.6,189 lbs and looking at in between 150-160lbs.l am a broad Athletic frame with pretty heavy bone weight.So I know this would be an ideal weight for me.Last year same time I was 168lbs.I was almost there at my target,when stopped abruptly because of back issues and wasn't really working out much there after.Reached 197 this August, when it hit me again and slowly and steadily I started again. Have managed to loose about 8 lbs since then.I am targeting at reaching my goal (of 150lb)by 31st May next year.It may be a slow progress but I want to be consistent rather than just giving up and do nothing as I did in this last 1 year.

    Hi there...signed up to this app a couple of days back and am just starting to find my way here. My weight has fluctuated over the years. I went up to 12 st 6 and have now dropped to 11st 11lb. I am only 5ft 2" so need to reduce to a healthy weight. My final target weight is 9 st 10lb. I plan to reduce by 7/8 lbs a month which is definitely doable. Really need some encouragement as no longer wish to be over weight!! This seems like a good app and I have heard good things about it!

    Hello, I'm 5'7 1/2". My goal is to get down to 145lbs in 5 months, then reevaluate at that time. Been a member for years, but new to the community. Been logging consistently for the past month. Happy to offer support!

    Hi Ladies! I'm new to this app & it's been a real eye opener to actually keep track of what I eat. I'm 49 yrs old, started a week ago at 165 & I'm 5'5. My target weight is around 145. I have always taken care of other people first & now it's my time dammit!! No more excuses!! I've started a boot camp a week ago & I'm kicking it!! Would love to have other motivaters!! We can do this!!

    Hey guys! I am pretty new to MFP and have been struggling with my weight for quite some time now so I thought it was time to take a step forward! I am 5'6 and a 165 pounds looking to get down to 125-130 pounds! It's always been difficult for me so I thought I would brave the community boards. Looking forward to the journey, but more to the destination ;) lol
