    CW: 160 lbs
    GW: 145-150 lbs

    I'm a Registered Dietitian, but I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I have been lifting weights ~3 days a week for almost a year and doing various other exercises (spin, elliptical, boxing, sprinting, etc.) randomly. I've gained a lot of weight by lifting, nearly all muscle, so I'd like to get a hold on my diet to lose some fat. I'm not sure what my final "comfortable" weight will be, so I'm giving myself some wiggle room.

    You don't have to be a twin to add me- we can encourage and inspire each other anyway!

    I've been better about working out. I just got to where I can run now finally. If I can eat better I'll probably start making progress.

    Age: 28 (in a few days!)

    Height: 5'3" and a half

    Lowest Weight: 101 as an adult, immediately after my first and last hot yoga session ... lol

    Heaviest Weight: 127, after copying my boyfriend's bad eating & drinking habits

    Current Weight: 122.1

    Goal Weight: 108 - 110, with muscle!

    I am currently using MFP and have it set to 1500 calories a day, which is basically maintenance for my current weight. I found it too discouraging to set it at 1200 ... I constantly felt deprived and would "fail" every day and go over 1200. Now I just know that I absolutely can't go over 1500 (unless I've already planned it and made up for it with cardio), and that if I do, I will GAIN weight. I'm usually hovering between 1200 and 1400 calories a day, and that's been working great and I've been losing at a steady pace! I just need to figure out how and what to do for strength training.

    Even if you're not exactly my twin, I'd love to have some MFP friends! :) Feel free to add me!

    Hi Katie,
    I think I just found my not that heavy twin!

    I'm 28, and been putting on since 2014 after meeting my bf turned fiance turned husband!

    Height - 5'3
    Lowest weight - 103lb
    Highest Weight - 123lb
    Current weight - 122lb
    Goal - 108lb ish with more muscle mass.

    I'm currently trying to figure out my schedule/diet plan. I eat about 1300 cals a day (highly inaccurate due to lots of eating out). I hope we can help each other stay motivated.

    Hi all!

    I'm 22, turning 23 this year.
    Final year at college, studying English Literature, with minors in Film and Gender.
    I've been somewhat overweight since I was 7/8, and I feel like I've been trying to lose the last 15ish pounds for FOREVER. I'm 131lb now, and I'm aiming for 117lb.
    It doesn't help that I'm really short. 5'1 and every bit of weight is amplified haha.
    My training mostly consists of cardio (running 4-5k), with some bodyweight training.
    I would really like to have a weight loss twin that would be great :)

    your current weight and GW are similar (almost identical) to mine. You've lost a ton more than I have - how long have you been working at it? How old are you? I'm 30, 2 kids

    Hi Ladies,
    I'm 22, 5'8", currently 147lbs, highest weight 155lbs, aiming for about 135lbs. I'm giving myself lots of wiggle room for the final weight as i work out pretty often and gain muscle easily. For me, it's more about lowering my body fat percentage from about 26% to about 20%, if that brings more muscle and little weight loss, that's okay :)

    Even if you're not my twinsie, let's be buds anyways! I need accountability-buddies :)

    GW: 130

    I have been slowly losing weight starting this past August. After returning from vacation and seeing some unflattering pictures of myself I was very frustrated that I had let myself get so out of shape. I have never been a terrible eater but decided right then that I would cut out french fries completely, and I rarely eat other fast foods. I have also increased my physical activity since August. I had always taken my dog for short walks and now I make it a point to double those walks, if not more and even jog with her as well. I am down 21 pounds from my heaviest in Aug. and have been slowly moving the scale, but only about 6 lbs. since the beginning of January. I joined MFP about 2 weeks ago after learning about it from a friend. My hope is with the added daily food logging accountability I will make it to my goal weight in the coming months!

    Hello all!! I need a twin!

    Age - 35 (but I feel 26!)
    Height - 5'7"
    Highest weight - 180 (pregnancy)
    Current weight - 164
    Goal weight - 125

    I just started working out and dieting this week, as I've just finished nursing my 2nd baby. After baby #1 I lost 40 pounds using this app and I'm looking to do it again! I have a gym at work and have been using it 4-5 times a week and eating pretty healthy. My problem is sticking to it on the weekends! Let's be twins!

    I've started hitting the gym in the mornings, trying to work out three times a week + occasional cardio.

    I need a twin for two reasons: 1) support and 2) interested to compare progress. Summer is coming.. :)

    I do HIIT (insanity beach body) three times a week and eat clean most of the time but have such a sweet tooth that I overdue it on chocolate a few times a week. At a plateau and need to lose those last 10 pounds!

    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 :/

    Triplets?

    I've been around here a long time. I did the all-cardio-all-the-time strategy, figured out that wouldn't give me the body I wanted, and started lifting heavy. It made a world of difference. I hit my goal weight, got complacent, and put some pounds back on. I still run and lift, but I haven't been as consistent as I need to be.

    I'm trying to get back on track with my diet - balanced meals that include all my macros, plus a couple of small fruit or veggie snacks. I'm targeting 1400 calories a day.
