    Please feel free to add me..we have similar weight goals and I need some accountability. I'm a 33 yr old mother of three...im currently 147 lbs at 5'8" and looking to get down to 130. I trained for my first competition and in the middle got pregnant with my third son. Hoping to get back to that shape with some friendly support. :)

    Hi, I've left the group as I believe that I am a little too heavy to be in the not-so-heavy group but on a journey to get to 147lbs, far from my ideal weight (119lbs, this is never going to happen) but closer to what I deem ideal for my bodytype.

    I am 5ft2, 27yo. Looking for friends to keep my motivation for clean eating high. I love training, therefore am quite muscular but this is being covered by far too much fat in my opinion :)

    Anyone feel free to add me! I'm very muscular underneath my "layer" from having my daughter who is now two. I was a competitive figure skater for eight years and never really lost the muscle. My "ideal weight" is around 110, but when I'm that weight I look extremely ill, so I've figured out it probably isn't healthy for me. I've always had issues swinging between eating way too much, then eating next to nothing so I can definitely use all of the support, motivation and help.

    I'd love to connect - I'm a lot older than you, but similar goals.
    I use MFP every day (got a 50-something day streak going) and I enjoy the motivation/interaction. I'm not a social person IN person, so online works for me.
    I'm on LCHF (only started recently and already seeing results)

    I too am 5' 9" on a small frame. 37 year old mother of two. I've been having a great month so far-very dedicated to my eating (keto/LCHF) and exercising 5 days a week. I have not been happy with my weight for a long time, and if I don't turn it around now, I fear I never will. I also quit drinking, a major contributor to my weight gain over the past few years. So, lots of lifestyle changes all at once, but I am feeling great. I never want to go back to how I was living before.

    Anyone is welcome to add me. My plan is 2 parts: First, lose the fat and retain the muscle and get down to 140. Then, assess my body and decide the next course of action. Tone up? Lose more weight? Put on some more muscle? We shall see. I hope to start phase two by May, with warm weather in the air :smiley:

    Hey - I'm a MFP veteran who used it to lose over 40 pounds nearly two years ago. A bit of the weight has crept back up (5-8 measly pounds, depending on the day) and I'm looking to get back down to 120.

    5'1", 25 years old!
    HW: 158+ (not sure exactly, Feb 2015)
    LW: 118 (just a few months ago)
    GW: 120

    My goal is to work out 4-6 days a week, depending on the week. I plan to do at least one high intensity hip hop dance class, a few gym sessions that mix strength and cardio, and one at-home or in-studio yoga/deep stretching session. Right now I've been consistently working out 4 times a week - I used to do 6!

    Feel free to friend if you can relate.

    I've been off to a fresh start on MFP for about a month and a half now, and I'm here for long haul to finally shed these last 12+ pounds. I'm looking for an interactive community of friends to keep each other going and motivated, too - please add me! :)

    This year, I'm doing a series of 30-day workout challenges back to back, and I walk several miles, do yoga, and/or stair-climb daily on top of that. I'm focusing on overall lifestyle changes and gradual weight loss, but I'm beyond ready to earn those 2017 gains!

    I'm nearly 39, and am desperate to shape up before I'm 40 next year, I weigh about 138lb and want to get below 130, but need to make sure I don't get bored as this has happened frequently. I'm currently doing t25 3-4 times a week. I'm 5'5 xx

    Hi! I'm almost 43, a runner, 5'4, and in the 130s (getting to the top of the range with the goal of maintaining at the bottom/middle of the range.) I would say my build is muscled as I wear a pretty small size for my weight (a 4-6). I am extremely active and my challenge is NOT eating back the calories I burn!!! I am not someone who lost a lot of weight and is trying to lose the final five...I've always been this size, hovering within a few lbs. of goal but rarely hitting it for more than a month or two. :-( Hoping I can figure this out once and for all!

    I turned 40 this past fall and have realized that I have to work a LOT harder to keep the pounds off. I've never been heavy, but am definitely much softer now than I ever have been. My belly hanging over my pants is a new development and I don't like it. I work out 3-4 times a week with a small group and a trainer and that is going well, I feel like I just need a kick in the pants when it comes to eating better.

    I am currently cross training at the gym 5 days a week and also doing C25K. Last year, someone literally laughed at me and said "You??" when I said I'd like to try a marathon. I really suck at running right now but I signed up for my first 5K in mid-April and I am pushing towards that goal. Also, I have a beach trip on the 1st of june that I'd like to wear a bikini for...
    Friend request me if you feel so inclined...
