in Motivation and Support
Hey there! I’m looking for some supportive and competitive friends to compete in monthly challenges. It would be ideal to find someone who is in a similar situation: 5’3” female with 40 or more pounds to lose.

If you’d like to challenge me to some weight loss races, please inbox me!

    Hi! I’m new to the community side of my fitness pal but I’m pretty much in the same boat as you. I’m 5’6” and I’ve got at least 40 lbs to lose!

    So, I’d like to create a group. Collectively we set a monthly weight loss goal (ie 5 pounds for the month of March) and we post our progress weekly. I personally thrive off of a little competition to see who can reach the goal first or who ends up losing the most each month, but I also love seeing other’s success while challenging each other! What do y’all say???

    Sounds great!! I'd like to see what you guys are doing for exercise and any great recipes you have found. Anyone have a fitbit? That might be another great way to challenge each other.

    Hi. I’m 5’4” - 58 years old.

    I’ve lost 94 lbs since last April with 34 more lbs to loose.

    I could use an extra push to get those last lbs gone!

    Please add me to your group.

    Just what I was looking for. I have to lose 30 lbs and I want to be bikini ready by June, basically Memorial Day. That's very challenging. Today was my first workout in months and it was tough but I got through it. I know what I can do and would love to join your group.

    I was able to lose 30 lbs and gain some muscle last summer from June to October. I did it by using MyFitnessPal, a scale from walmart, and also got a Polar heart rate monitor so I knew exactly how many calories I could eat in a day. Kept intake about 500 cals below maintenance and did 2 hrs of weight lifting every day (1 hour of intense weight lifting should help).
