4'10 and need to lose 40-50 pounds (Looking for friends with similar height and weight to lose)

Hey everyone! I've been on a weight gain journey for the past 5 years (not because I wanted to). don't know what else to call it! anyways - I've now hit my breaking point of 160 on a 4'10 woman which puts me into the obese category :( I need to lose 40 pounds just to get back to healthy weight range. I'm 33 and it is definitely not as easy to do as it once was.

Anyone interested in being friends and accountability buddies?! You don't have to necessarily be 4'10, but petites are definitely welcome :)

I'm wanting to lose weight, start exercising regularly again (not just randomly when it suites me), and eating healthier....

    Hey! I'm 5'0", starting my weight loss journey. I weigh 210 now. The sad thing for me is that I lost 50 lbs a few years ago but now it's all back. I've been eating Paleo for about 4 years now - that was how I lost the 50lbs. But I got off track with it recently and now am getting that back on track along with some exercise. I'd love to be your friend so we can help keep each other accountable!

    Do you want to come back on track with only exercises or you want to come back to paleo too?

    Ok, I guess I'm the tallest and heaviest in the crowd. I'm about 5' 7ish and weigh between 269 and 274 pounds. I've got about another 120 to loose at least. I've already lost 12 pounds but I'm hoping to keep loosing. I have medical problems and need to loose this weight before it literally kills me. I am on oxygen 24/7 and am borderline diabetic. Other than that, my life is just peachy. How's about you all? We are a blended family. We have 7 children between us. I am a grandma and great-grandma... 23 grandchildren and 12 greats. Love them all.

    Hello from the UK, you can add me if you like, I'm 4'11'' and lost about 30lbs before putting 10lb back on. I don't eat meat or dairy but still stuff my face with loads of sweet stuff and wine so struggle to stay within the 1200 cals mfp set me. I eat way over that most days but still log everything to remind me what a glutton I am ... hence deep depression! But keep trying anyway.
