    Hey All! I was looking for a group to be part of so that I can have some accountability. I've been on and off of MFP since 2013 and I have had the greatest success when I log my meals and exercise. I am 43 and currently 5'7" and at 238 lbs. I need to lose about 80lbs. I just got on the scale and was mortified at the number, I knew my clothes were getting tight and the last time I weighed I was at 225 so when I saw 238 I knew I needed to make some serious cjanges. So its time for me to get back in gear. I like to be around positive, motivated people so please feel free to add me as a friend. Im excited about taking control of my health! We can do this!

    Hi I'm Sandra and I'm 55 from Alabama. I started a month ago on MFP and I started dieting a few weeks before that. I'm 5'4 1/2". I started 225 lbs. I would like to weigh 130-140 lbs. I've lost about 15 lbs so far but what I am currently able to do exercise wise is slow but gaining. :) I get on the treadmill at 2.5 mph for 20 minutes and at 2.0 mph for a 5 minute cool down. I've found that exercising first thing in the morning works best for me. Loosens up my stiff muscles too. I hope this encourages others.

    Hey there everyone,

    I'm 36 yrs old, 5'7", and currently 282lbs. I was about 305lbs in March and have gotten myself down a bit. Now it's time to keep on truckin! In a perfect world, if love to get down to 150lbs, but I have a large frame, and my doc says anything less than 160 probably isn't a good idea. So we shall see.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend, and I look forward to more talks!
    Laura

    I am new to MFP, even though I signed up years ago. I am currently 5'2" and 230 lbs. My goal is 150 lbs. I used Herbalife last summer and lost 20 pounds without exercising much. As soon as I stopped it, I went back to old habits and gained it all back. I have contacted a Dr. for gastric bypass, too. I am embarrassed to tell too many people about my efforts because of my tendancy to fail. Online support and accountability might be what I need, afterall.

    I am 5'8", starting at 240, my heaviest. I have been on MFP on and off for years, but this time I have been consistently logging on 33 days, so far. I have lost 6 pounds so far. I would like to get down to 150 or so, and at least to 200 by December this year.

    I started 2 years ago but didn't really stick with it, so now I'm starting all over again this time. I'm 5'2, around 265lbs, my goals is to lose around 123lbs which means my goal weight is around 140lbs. I'm 20 btw. I would appreciate it so much if someone would be kind enough to want to be my friend here so we can support each other. Let's walk this journey to a better life together! Love this thread btw! :smiley:

    Hi! I'm 39 and a stay at home mum. I wanted to use my time at home to lose weight etc but so far I've only gained (lost and gained a few times actually). Currently 271lbs and want to get to 170. I'm 5ft4 and will reassess my goal once I get to 170! I'd love to connect to people who have similar amounts to lose. I know I won't lose it before my 40th (in 4 mths) but I'd like to be in a better place than I am now. I am doing intermittent fasting and tracking calories on non fast days.

    I would love to be added as a friend - I'm currently around 230, goal is to be 150. Just starting with tracking and plan to add in exercise again too. I used to be in very good shape and even last spring did a Farrell boot camp (which I loved) & had started losing weight/inches - though I never tracked my eating. I stopped when I had scheduling conflicts with my children's activities and have now gained 20 pounds more :(
