    Hello all. I started my weight loss journey about seven weeks ago when I saw the scale read 200 pounds. I'm only 5'-2", and I used to be around 130-135 pounds a few years ago, and even that was almost considered overweight for my height. I'm now currently 185 pounds, and I hope to lose around 60 pounds before 2017!

    I'm also looking for inspiring and active friends, so feel free to add me! :)

    I'm ready to start this again! I lost 30 lbs and then fell off the wagon due to being on a fire assignment for work and working everyday 16 hrs per day and sitting in front of a huge snack table! I'm looking for more friends so we can motivate each other and hopefully reach our goals!
    I am a single mom of 2 girls and I have a sw of 302.7(start date of my lifestyle change this time is 7/11/16) my cw is 301.6 and my gw for now is 180. That may change once I get there. Oh, and I'm 5'7.

    Hi everyone! I started this time around on January 3rd, 2016. I am 41 years old and this is probably my 3rd good college try to lose weight since I've been about 23. My starting weight (and my highest)was 250 and I am 5'4. 2 I've gotten down to 202 give or take a few fluctuations. Honestly I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and since I have been on meds for that, I have been more focused this time around than any other time. I still struggle though staying on track. Summer has been hard. Too much fun and food to be had! I haven't given up though. I would have in the past. I guess I have to thank the meds for that.I have 3 goals weights. First to get out of the 200's and into ONEderland. Then I'll shoot for 180 and eventually I want to end up at 165. I would love more friends! Feel free to add me.

    I'm 5'8, currently 310lbs, started out at 318lbs in the beginning of June, and I'm just starting to try out serious weight loss. I don't have experience with crash diets, or really dieting at all, so this is all new to me. My current goal is 1.5 lbs per week, and I'd like to get my weight down to at least 180lbs. I know it will take a long time, probably a couple years to do it safely, but I'd love some support along the way. Feel free to add me if you've got a lot to lose and need someone to help cheer you on. :smiley:

    Hi all, I'm new to MFP and just weighed in at 222lbs. I'm 5"5 with a goal weight of 174.
    Can't wait to start logging everything and watching the scale come down.
    You're all so motivating too! Keep up the great work!

    Well, I use Kg instead of the lb but roughly I'm going to lose 80 lb. I used the Canadian diet and lost 12 lb in a week. It's great, and I recently added some workouts to my plate. I think I'm gonna make that Canadian diet as my lifestyle when I reach my desired weight. Feel free to add me is you want a friend in your weight loss journey.

    What is the Canadian diet?

    Hello all! I'm making a serious attempt to change my lifestyle. I'm certainly ignorant and lost, but with the MFP forums and member support, I'm confident I'll do well.
    I'm 41, 5'7", 390lbs. I'm a lifelong emotional eater and am struggling hardcore again.
    I would love to connect with more users to offer and obtain support on this long journey.

    Good luck!
