I would love to have a buddy who weighs around the same as me trying to lose weight. I am trying to lose around 15 pounds maybe 20 depending. I am struggling and could really use a friend who has the same struggles. Friend me if you are my twin!

    Is anyone interested in starting a group for ladies around our size? I am thinking it might be nice to see how people are doing. Let me know!

    I'm 5'7. Was 167 when I started here, slowly but surely haven't gotten to just under 160.

    I'm glad to see some "twins". I feel people our height can carry weight so differently. You can either look great and in a shape, a totally slob (aka me), or anywhere in between.

    This is just about me too! 5'7" I was 164.8 on Jan 1. I was down to 152.8 (my scale goes by .2s) but then I went on vacation. I wasn't as careful as I could have been so now I'm back up to 155.4. It's been a long process and I hope to make it to 140. I'm in my mid 40s which I think makes it that much harder.

    Good luck on your journey!

    So I'm not alone!!! I'm 5'6" and at 172 pounds now (started at 177 about a month ago). Got down to 158 last fall but then had a major setback over the winter. This time I'm in it for good. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can motivate each other!
