Ok, so I've been down this road before, countless times but this is my season for complete change. I am 5'5" and I currently weigh 161.5 I started my wieght loss journey last week at 165. I have been overweight for too may years and this MUST change. I am currently over the health ministry at my church and I'm tired of feeling like a hypocrite. I'm taking my life back and these pounds are no longer wanted. My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week and reach my goal weight of 135 by July. I am currently trying to workout 3-4 days a week and train to run a half marathon by next January. I would love to hook up with people who are around the same height and weight so we can encourage each other. Let's do this!

Well I'm not exactly the same height or weight but I'm close. I'm 5'6 and 153 pounds. I'm trying to lose at least 10 pounds.
I would be more than happy to help support and motivate you and you can do the same for me as we continue our journey0 -

I'm 54. I started out at 197 and now I am at 191. I get so frustrated. I eat well during the week but on weekends I fail. I am not consistent with exercising. I need some serious butt kicking! I'm getting married in July and would love to lose at least 40 lbs by then. I can use all the help I can get.0
