Looking for people to connect with on here to help motivate each other. I have lost 20lbs so far but I need and will lost another 80lbs. Also looking for people to share food logs with. I enjoy seeing what everyone chooses for meals. I am in the 1500 calorie range at the moment and work out 5-6 days a week.

    Hi, Dakota341. I'm Angela and am in the same boat with you. :) I'm 45, at about 309 (after last night's pizza pig-out...LOL) and would like to lose at least 100 lbs by next May. Not much into exercise but I'm working on it. I've actually started going to the pool at least a few times a week for water aerobics and am enjoying that. But It's tough going alone. Shall we paddle the boat together? :)

    Hello! I am 5'3" and have lost 58 pounds so far. I am looking to lose about 90 more...give or take. I have been working out at least 6 days a week, sometimes seven. It has been mostly cardio up until this week when I added a beginning strength training workout 3 days a week. Please feel free to add me as a friend! :)

    I went through and added each of you! Yes lets motivate one another together. I just had a weigh in at work and in the past 5 weeks I am have lose 11.2 pounds. Super exciting! I had no idea I had responses on here. I thought MFP would alert me of the messages but I did not get anything. So happy I clicked back into my discussion.

    Also short, 5'1.5", hoping to lose 50 lbs total, have lost 10-15 about 6 times but find keeping going hard. There is a group for short people I joined but it is currently quiet. Maybe we could all post there?

    I'm 5'2" and my overall goal has been to lose 60 pounds. So far I've lost 20 and have stagnated since January. I've been gaining and losing the same 4-5 pounds since then and can't seem to find my motivation mojo again. Feel free to add me - I need all the help and support I can find! I'm not doing any plan or diet, just trying to limit portions and figure out the best way to eat for the rest of my life.
