Hi!
I have started MFP about a week or so ago and have been struggling with it. I don't have much to lose (5-10lbs), and I am a small person (5'2). I am very active and I love to run. It's amazing how only 5lbs can slow you down when you are trying get a personal best at a 5k. I have 2 kids and was at my "ideal" weight before getting pregnant with my second. I have been struggling since she was born to get back at my happy weight. So...it would be really nice to have a few more friends to hold me accountable.
Thanks!

I have been using the MFP app on my phone for a while, but this is the first time I have logged onto the site. I am looking for people in my same situation (want to lose 10-15 lbs) to discuss struggles with.0

I completely understand. I also am 5'2" and am a runner. I have run 2 marathons at about 124 and I am now running at 118 and it makes a world of difference! Keep up the good work.0

Feel free to add me, I only have 12lbs left to lose.0

I don't understand, you girls look great! What is there left to lose?0

I too am a runner with only around 5lb to lose. I really hope that those 5lb make a difference as I have my first marathon in April, having only started running this year. I'm also fairly short at 5'3 so feel that a small amount lost makes a bigger difference!0

I am 5'0 and currently weigh 127lbs. I would love to be back at 112-115. That is how much i weighed playing soccer back in high school and i'd love to be that fit again. I was never a fan of simply running until this recent spring, but i lost my running buddy due to me moving. I just cant seem to get myself back out there and push myself like she would.0

Thanks everyone! Just sent some friends requests .0

I'm not currently training for any race right now but would like to run 4 days a week through December in friggin' freezing Michigan!0

@kvreeken OMG I cannot image running in Michigan right now. You are one brave lady. I had to join a gym b/c I won't run when its 45 degrees outside0

I'm there with ya! I'm 5'5" and 122.....shooting for 115 and hoping to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I've got 4 marathons under my belt and my best times are when my weight is lower.
And I'm running outside still in Wisconsin. It's cold for sure!0 -

i am proud of both of you! I refuse to run outdoors if its under 45 and i don't run in the gym because it sounds like an elephant on a treadmill. Ellipticals are my best friends.0 -
hey, I almost missed this thread. Groups are kinda weird, it's easy to miss new threads.
I notice lots of runners here, so I wanted to see if you had read this:

I think running's fine but it is not a great way to lose the last 10 lbs. It just depends on what's important to you, and if running a marathon is important than you can ignore this0 -
