in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm hoping to find some friends here to keep me accountable! I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 140 (down from 145). I'm hoping to get to 120 and maybe sneak in some more loss beyond that. I've never been lower than 120 in my adult life!

I'd love to make some friends for support, accountability and an occasional sneak peek at what you are eating to give me ideas.

I have a bad habit of getting too excited about losing the weight and thinking its okay to go hog wild for awhile (and gaining all that loss I was so proud of back). /sigh

I'm still fumbling my way through the site and having so much fun logging my calories. I'm very serious about doing this and being honest about what I'm eating, exercising regularly and NOT derailing once I get down to a decent weight!

I'd love to accept or send friend requests!

    Feel free to add me. I'm 5ft 1 1/4 inches and started at 135, down to 129 since I joined here just under 2 months ago. Hoping to possibly make it down to 120 eventually :happy:

    Welcome Saffyra,

    I don't focus of scale weight. I'm focusing on my body fat percentage/pounds of fat and my inches.

    I like to motivate and encourage people. I'll be your cheer buddy. Befriend me if you want to.

    Welcome! We have a lot in common. I'm aiming to lose 25-30 pounds and don't want to repeat my go crazy and lose/then regain it back cycles. I think MFP is going to be a huge help and am excited to be here. If you are still looking for weight loss buddies, send me a friend request!
