A little about me,
short version
I'm 5'6
I currently weigh 209lbs,
Final target weight is 140lbs (mini targets in between)
First week back on the wagon I've lost 3lbs
Looking for friends to share my journey
Please feel free to drop me a message / add me as a friend
long version
I am 44 and I have been on the weight loss journey before, using MFP. I found the site, challenges and friends very helpful in keeping me motivated and I hope that I helped others with their journey also.
A few years back I got very close to my target weight of 140lbs ... well OK I got to 155lbs .. but I was chuffed with it. I decided to take a break from losing weight made an attempt at maintaining and moved to strength to tone up my new size before doing the major push to lose the last 15lbs.
However, as is life, all went wrong, my husband took seriously ill and all my good work and struggles were thrown to the side lines while I cared for him, my eating became irregular, naughty foods became normal eating and my exercise? .. well there was no time for that. The good news is my husband pulled through and he is now fighting fit. I didn't think about my weight/size for quite a while after that as we were just enjoying life and I gained all my weight back and it brought 9 little friends *sigh*
So here I am again back on the wagon ready to lose it all again and hopefully hit my final target this time round.
I am 5'6" and have 69lbs to lose, I am very supportive and log daily

Hello, I am a returning newbie as well. I had gotten about 20 lbs from my original goal weight and then got pregnant. Three years later I am finally ready to commit to getting the weight off and welcome support and motivation. I log at least 6 days a week and am available for support.
Any new friends or those interested in new friends feel free to add me.1 -
