In need of some fellow female MFP friends

Here's some info about me:

Height: 5'6
SW: 268
CW: 209
GW: 130-140

I started my journey in March of this year when I'd finally had enough of being overweight and feeling miserable. I gave up soda and fast food at first and then gradually started to do other things as well. I started drinking 2 liters of water a day (now I drink 3) and I learned how to make some yummy healthy meals. As soon as I saw that scale drop for the first time I was hooked. I cheated only a couple of times when I first started but I haven't since. I'm more happier now than I've ever been. I'm beginning to love my body even though I still have a ways to go. :)

So with that said I'm looking for some awesome ladies who will help support and guide me through this journey of mine. And I'll do the same for you. Tell me a bit about yourself and then add me if you'd like. :)

    Started seriously trying to consciously eat healthy and workout in March, I've been doing low carb because that's what works best with my insulin issues.

    Hi! I also want more female friends! I'm about a month in. I lost 35 lbs a few years ago, kept it off for more than a year and then the weight creep started. My SW is 187 and my first goal is 150.

    Me too! Started August 2012 at 299 pounds; current weight 250; slow but steady progress for 3 years but stubborn plateau since September 2015; then discouragement and creeping back toward poor habits. Don't always lose when I am very consistent with weighing/measuring food and logging but never lose if I don't. Also use FitBit, mostly walk/jog and high step count for exercise; need to start yoga and some form of bodywork or strength training. Getting back on track today! MFP user name is mom2rpkp; also known as Bonnie.

    Hi!

    CW:140
    GW:133
    I got down to 133 a couple of weeks ago but I went off track for two weeks. I had a injury that kept me out of the gym for two weeks and used it as an excuse to go crazy.

    I'm 5"6 and I've gained 2 and a half stone in the past year... I was underweight to start with so I'm hoping to lose 21lbs so I can get down to 126lbs. :smile:

    Add me! I like seeing other people's diaries because i suck at keeping a deficit going. i think due to hormonal imbalance but my sleep suffers a ton if i workout hard and eat less than i burn. i tend to naturally eat TDEE. even with intermittent fasting. it helps me to see how others plan out their days so I can modify mine.

    You can add me! I've been on here for over 2 months and haven't added any friends other than my husband, so I think it's time to be more social lol

    Currently walking 6+ times a week, at least 6 km each time, which is really helping me lower my blood pressure, which I am on medication for and really don't want to be!
