Hi everyone, thought we could use this to introduce ourselves, share our goals, goal weights, etc.
I'm Ashley, I'm 5'6... My highest weight was 230, but I'm currently at 206. My goal weight is 180 right now, because that is when my body fat % should hit the healthy range. Then I plan to reassess and see how much more I want to lose. Feel free to add me

Hi Ashley! Thanks for inviting me into the group!
My name is Alexis. My highest weight was about 175 in September 2010. That's when I started college. In January 2011, I joined MFP at 170 and over the course of this year have lost about 20 lbs, putting me at 148ish. I am a performer, so it's important for me to lose weight, not only for my health, but for casting and performance purposes (I want to look good up there!). I'd like to lose about 20 more lbs, putting me at a total of 40-45 lbs lost! Feel free to add me!0 -
Yeay well done on making the group! Hi im pip, Im 5'6 and am currently at 195 and would like to get down to 160 to be in a healthy range for me. I would like to do this by august 2012 as am going on holiday to florida then. This group will be great for anyone who needs a bit of motivation! We can do this ladies!0

Hi, I'm 5'6 as well. I started at 175, with a long (long long long) term goal of being 140. So I'd like to drop a total of 35 pounds. I've lost 17 so far. Once I hit 150 I'm going to change my goal to losing 1/2 a pound a week, so the last 10 will take a long time, but I'm happy with that. 150 is what I was when I got pregnant with my daughter.0

Hi. I'm Ali. I'm 5"6. When I started on MFP I was 197 lbs (although had lost some weight before that so was definitely over 200 at my highest point, but I prefer not to remember that!) I have lost 5lbs - but it's taken me over 2 1/2 months to do that and I really need to get more motivated about this. Hoping that joining this group might help me! I'm aiming for 150lbs, which would be in that lovely "healthy" range. So another 42 lbs to go!0

Tall people! Lol. I always wished I was 2 inches taller.0 -
Thanks for the invite!
I only discovered this site a week ago, but am finding it very encouraging, and I love reading the Recipes Message Board for ideas. I have lost 27 pounds in the last 3 months, and know that I will need to keep working hard to get to my goal of 150. I know from experience that maintaining is actually harder than losing, so I am hoping to use this site to keep on track (and keep myself accountable).
I had Lap Band surgery about 4 years ago and got down to my goal weight of 150 (down from a top weight of 260), but over the past years slowly started to gain the weight back. I was back up to 210, when I got back "on the wagon" a couple of months ago. I am determined to get back to 150 - I felt great there!
Here's to a successful journey to all !!0 -

I like weekly challenges.0 -
Hi all,
My name is Mallory. I'm currently 166 lbs, aiming for 150 and then probably 140. My high weight was 189, and my body seems to really like it at 177 or so. I've spent quite a bit of time at 177 in my life, but I'm hoping not to go back there again!0 -

I think that's a great idea... I have seen some amazing result pics on here of people doing 30ds and keep thinking I should do it, but then I don't lol. Plus, that will be a great way to jump start after the holidays!0 -
Hello everyone,

I'll do the 30 day shred with you in January. I've been wanting to try it again.0 -
Hi Girls!
I'm 5'6", my start weight was 185. I still have 20 or so to go. Question - how many calories are you eating per day? I can't quite seem to find the right number and lately my weight loss is SUPER slow. MFP says 1200 but a lot of people on here say to eat more. What works for you guys?
Thanks and I'm happy about this group!
