I need some support for when I'm going through plateaus or moments of weakness! Would be most helpful to see woman who are trying to lose a similar amount of weight - around 20-30 pounds. I've already lost 8 and I want to lose at least 20 more!

    Hi! I'm 5'7" and currently 162, my highest weight was 231. Goal is 145 for me, and i'm looking more to building strength and losing fat rather than just watching the scale. Add me if you like

    Hi, I'm 5'7" and am currently 85 kilos (187 pounds). I have managed to lose 22 pounds since this time last year but I am really struggling to keep motivated at the moment. I'm also aiming for the 145 pound mark.

    Hi there. I'm 5'-6" and started at 170 and want to get back down to 140lbs. I had lost about 10lbs but regained about 5 of them when I returned home for 6 weeks. Back on the grind. I'd love to participate in this with y'all. Add me if you'd like as well.

    5'6 down to 140 from 248 then back up to 170. This will be the 3rd time back for me. Started logging again a few days ago. Aiming for 125 though I'm using the mirror more than the scale these days so when I'm happy with the mirror I will stop ;)

    Hi, I'm fluctuating between 175 and 179 right now. Goal is 140. Have gained 35 pounds in last few years from stress eating :( Have been working out four-five days a week doing Orange Theory for the last month, but eating habits still not great and I haven't lost any weight yet. Ugh!

    Hi. I'm 5'7" (well, I used to be when I was young - haven't been measured yet as a senior adult!). I'm heavier than you specified - still over 200 (started at 262) and have been on this journey for a year. I've lost motivation recently, however, and was hoping to get some encouragement even tho I don't fit the specifications. My goal is 150. I've lost half of what I want in a year, so if I can stay the course, I'm hoping to lose the rest by this time next year. But given how I've been eating and not exercising lately - that seems doubtful!

    Hey everyone! I'm 5'2, started at 178, down around 165 right now, and heading for about 135 to start with. My midway goal is 150! I've gotten really into logging my food and am on a 31 day streak (small but big for me). I love going for hikes as my main form of exercise! Feel free to add me!

    5'7" here! I'm at 164lbs right now and wanting to get down to around 120 by the end of the year! I'm pretty new to the MyFitnessPal, so I'd love chatting with like-minded people! Anyone trying Kayla Itsines' BBG Guide??

    Hey! I'm 5'6 and 171 lbs. I'm trying to get down to the 150s. I have hit several plateaus and have had my fair share of "moments of weakness", so I feel your pain! Feel free to add me!

    You guys are awesome! I've been stuck at 171 for a few days now and I'm trying to not give up! I have a habit of giving up on weight loss too quickly unfortunately. I like instant gratification.

    I am 5'6" and 185 lbs. I have been logging for almost a month now. Eating habits have been pretty good, but scale has not budged.

    I try really hard to only weigh myself once a week...I do struggle with it as like you I want to see my numbers decrease consistently and I am easily disheartened with fluctuations (even small ones)...but it is a lovely feeling when you hop on the scales after a whole week and the number has gone down.
