in Getting Started
Hi there! :blush: My name is Hannah and I seriously want to run a half marathon in april 2016. For that I wanna get fit, I go running regurarily and need to shed some pounds to get faster. Also I want to get all lean and toned up of course, who doesn't. :)B)
I'm 5'7 and currently at about 160lbs.
My goal weight is around 140lbs and I think it would be super fun to find someone who is aiming for a similar goal weight to motivate and challenge each other? We could snapchat our little success' and help to keep each other accountable. <3

    I am about the same. I'm currently 160 and my goal is around 130, but I try not to pay too much attention to the scale and go by how my clothes fit. I'm around 5'6.5" I'm not a runner and I love strength training, but I'm sure we can be friends and motivate each other!

    I'm in. I'm also 5'7 with 25 to lose (165lbs looking to get to 140ish)- all in the stomach... so it's all diet. Counting calories seems to be the way to be accountable. My name is Erin, feel free to add me. ErinG781

    I have been waiting for some type of huge revelation to motivate me to get healthy but I changed my thinking and now I know I just need to start. So here I go...
    I'm totally new to all of this and looking for motivation and tips. I'm 5'7, 160lbs and want to get to 140. I'm a single mom of a 12 and 13 year old so my life revolves around them.
    Im not a runner, yet but I am willing to try. Hoping to lose "baby weight" and tone up everything

    Hello! I am 5'8" and want to lose 18, I am currently at 162 and want to be around 144ish.
    My battle is keeping the motivation each day and throughout the entire day. Sweets and coffee with too much flavored creamer is my weakness.

    Me! I'm 5'7" and 162. My first weight loss goal is 150 and will go from there. I'm doing stronglifts and a running program similar to C25K. I've been lifting for 3 weeks and started running this week. We can do this!!

    Hi! I'm 5'2, so not quite the same height, but I too want to lose about 20 pounds. I'm currently 125, and I want to be 105.

    The numbers aren't too bad, but I'm really out of shape! Maybe we can help each other get more fit?

    Hi, I'm 5'7.5 and 164lbs. My goal weight is 145. I'm back doing Jillian Micheals 30day shred, and just got a weight bench for Christmas. I would like to loose and tone and could use all the support I can get. Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me!
