    Week 2 Day 5: Was feeling tired and thought about skipping and taking an early rest day, but then I decided if I was going to fail to do my scheduled run, I would fail on the road and not in the house. Run was challenging but I did pick up the pace. 3.58 miles in 65 minutes. Lat pull downs 6x7 @140 lbs.

    Hi all, I am Emma - I am on a weight loss journey. I have been up and down in weight for years for as long as I can remember to be completely honest😞 sick of always being the biggest girl in the room. I am back on the weight loss train trying to loose around 4 stone. I would love to make some friends on here to chat about our journeys, keep each other motivated and accountablity🌻. I am feeling incredibly lonely in this journey so more than happy for people to add my username as a friend on MFP and happy for a chat!🥰 emma10202022

    Would love to have a support system x

    I'm also 5'9, i'm curious as to why your goal weight is 160lbs? What body fat percentage do you think you're going to be at that weight?

    @Mellouk89 - 155lbs is my low weight where my body ramps up fighting me to hold more weight. Really difficult to maintain. 160lbs is where I settled after doing 2-3 years of high volume training. I was never willing to do what was needed to be BB competition lean (4-5%), that always seemed unhealthy and super-difficult to maintain. My goals now are to be in peak or close to peak cardio performance. As I get older, not having heart issues down the road becomes more important for quality of life. I feel I'll target to be at around 10-12% body fat so my body won't be fighting me and allow me a more relaxed lifestyle. At close to my low limit weight, I am sure my body will demand ever-increasing intensity in my workouts in order to maintain that weight. After a while, I just get tired.

    @JBanx256 - Thanks for the encouragement. Hope your plan is going well.
