5'6", Starting Weight: 181, Goal Weight: 130. Anyone similar?

Hi! I’ve been active ~3 weeks, and it’s been a little slow going / lonely / boring doing this weight loss thing by myself. I would love to make some friends on MFP for mutual encouragement and inspiration, especially with anyone whose stats are similar to mine.

I'm 26F. My goal is to ultimately just be fit. My end weight isn't so important. I love doing a lot of outdoors activities and want to be able to go back to doing that.

5' 6.5" 190 trying to get to 145. You can do this.! Just gotta stick to it.!

I actually met that goal a couple years back! Went from 180 to 136 now, I'm 5'5". You can do it!

Almost stat twins! I’ve already lost 5 lbs., but it’s agonizingly slow.

How did you or do you distract yourself from the progression?

My path was a little twisty, lost down to 152 last fall, put quite a bit back on, and (lesson learned, I probably just have to track for the foreseeable future) Got back on about a month ago. So far, so good.
