    Lowest weight = 120
    Current weight = 130
    Goal weight = 115

    I've re-gained some pounds this fall/winter and looking forward to feeling healthier again! I'm going to try to stick to 1200 calories plus any earned from exercise. Activities include walking, running, and Bikram yoga. Support welcomed :)

    Twinsies!

    5'5"-ish
    Highest - 140
    Lowest - 105
    Current - 130? (I don't have a scale!)
    Goal - 115

    Last time using MFP I went from 140 to 105 in 6 months - without exercise. I felt a bit weak at that weight (in addition to all my clothes being loose) and I think 115 is where my body is most comfortable/easiest to maintain. I have a vacation in Feb that I want to get in shape for, but I'm bad at keeping motivated :/

    Age - 28
    HEight - 5'8
    Highest weight - 154
    Lowest weight - 127 (at age 23)
    Current weight - 144
    Goal weight - 130

    I lost most of my weight at age 23 smashing p90x and a low carb diet. Needless to say the very low carbs weren't sustainable. I'm trying to eat balanced now and have had success with MFP a couple of years ago going from 148 to 129 lbs.

    Sticking to 1200 daily calories since Jan 1, and eating back approx 1/3 to 1/2 of calories I earn back from exercise. Burning around 500-600 calories with exercise daily.

    Live in Melbourne. On a PESCATARIAN diet (including eggs and dairy) and exercise with HOT yoga, HOT core/pilates, running, and free weights at the gym.
    Looking to share diet plans and ways to increase protein other than plain old protein whey (although I am using once daily).
    I'm keen to see what others are eating under similar diets and are easy to make as I work shiftwork as a nurse.

    Need more friends to do this! Add me if you're keen.
    Thanks!

    I aim to hit the gym 3-4 times a week
    On days off I aim to do weight training, yoga, fitness videos etc

    Any twinsies welcome :smile:
  • I've seen this in the forums quite a bit and I thought finding a twin here would be a lot easier seeing as we are all ladies here and we are all considering ourselves to be in roughly the same weight category. Plus I don't know about you but having friends with almost identical goals is pretty motivating for me!! I would love to find some girls on here with goals like mine so we can really help and encourage each other on losing that fat/chub/pudge/jiggle in your wiggle/etc. !!!

    I am 5'9
    Heaviest: 162
    Current: 153
    GOAL!!!! : 133

    Current Body Fat: 29-28%
    Dream Body Fat: 18-20%!!!

    I hope this brings our groups a little closer together!! :flowerforyou:

    5'4"
    Current Weight: 115.9
    Goal: Maintain Weight

    Age: thisclose to 28
    Height: 5'9"
    HW: 180lbs
    LW: 147lbs (it's been about a decade...)
    CW: 163.5lbs
    GW: 145lbs

    I've been on a pretty good logging streak lately and am seeing results, which is motivating when all I want to do is carb rage. Main activities are circuit training and pole fitness/aerial arts in the winter; in the summer I like to do a lot more outdoorsy things (biking, going for runs, hiking, general adventuring), but Canadian winters are brutal and I can't handle the cold!

    Happy to motivate and be motivated, and hold each other accountable! Feel free to add me as a friend and send a quick blurb about yourself along with your friend request. :)

    Fitness wise, I walk/run the dog, horse ride and do pilates. I want to strengthen my core muscles to help with riding and I'm working on flexibility. One day I will start lifting seriously!

    Moved this summer and gained a lot of weight eating junk food stuff that was quick. I'm ready to be serious about it and get back to being comfortable in my own body again.

    Maybe I will find a tall/thick twin?

    Age: 31
    Height: 5'11'' (nearly 6 ft as I am actually 5'11.5")
    HW: 208 lbs (39 weeks pregnant)
    CW: 190 lbs
    LW: 135 lbs (high school and ED)
    Goal: 155 to 160 lbs

    I have started lifted regularly over the last four weeks and I LOVE it.
    I travel weekly for work (I am the primary bread winner) and I have a 3.5 y.o. daughter.
    I gained a lot of weight with my current career.
    I am trying to find balance and improve meal prep (which is hard with 2-4 overnights per week).
