I have just come back here after a near 3 year break and I'm determined to lose all the extra weight I've gained since. At 22 years old I am 5ft 3 and weighing in at nearly 16 stone. I've struggled with my weight all my life and live with pcos which makes weight loss a little harder. I now have to lose weight not only for my health, confidence and appearance but also have to lose at least a couple of stone before I can start fertility treatment.
I would like to add some people in a similar situation weight wise so the journey doesn't seem so difficult so feel free to add me ☺

    200ish for me in the long run. 121 to start right now. Long jouney en route! Good luck to you.

    It is all about mindset and making a firm decision that enough is enough! It is a lot easier when you decide that the real you is the target you have in your head... it will pull you to it... focus on

    I'm 23, 5ft 1 and have 76 lbs left to lose. Since we are on such a similar journey we should definitely connect. I've sent you a friend request.

    Hello All! There is a very supportive network of folks in or have been in similar situation, http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/3322-100-pounds-with-no-surgery

    What is your plan to lose the weight? I would suggest reading up on your BMR and TDEE along with investing in a digital food scale.
