in Introduce Yourself
I'm 229lb, 23 years old, female, and 5'4". My goal weight is 150, but really I would be happy with 160 - 170.

I'm looking for women who are around my same weight, or have been around the same weight. I'm looking for friends I can relate to.

    Hi! I'm 25, 5'7", started at 231 lbs, got down to 185 on my own. Joined Mfp a few weeks ago, I was 179.5 at last weigh in. My final goal is 140.

    Hi I have only just joined MFP but have lost 11 lbs in the last month taking me down to 210lbs

    I am a 5' 7" 48 year old woman looking to sort myself out and get fit, my 'ideal' goal is 140 but I think that may be unrealistic so 150 - 155lbs is where I hope to be this time next year

    I am hoping the the community here will give me ideas and help keep me motovated

    It's nice to here from people with similar goals

    Good luck to you

    Started at 265, now at 205 with 30-40lbs to go (very much undecided as I've never weighed that so no idea how I'll look!)
    If anyone wants to add me you're more that welcome :smile:

    Hey there, I'm 5'4 and started around 198lbs. My goal weight is around 150lbs. I figure that I will be at a healthy weight at that amount since when I was at that weight I was in a size 8-10 pant size and I could actually wear clothes from Hollister that fit me. I'll send you an add.

    Hello!! I'm 24, 5'3 and started at 250. I'm now down to 239. :) My goal weight is about 140, but anything under 180 would be fine by me! Good luck!

    I'm 5'2 and 203lbs. I started this journey 11 days ago, and I lost 1 lb. But then this morning I weighed myself and gained it back? Not sure what's going on there, but I am looking for all the friends I can get. I need motivation because I am definately getting frustrated. I hope your journey is going well though. My name is Cary, and I'm 28!:smile:

    Hi there. Feel free to add me. Lord knows I can use all the help I can get. I'm 5'6" and started at 258 (the heaviest I've ever been). I haven't set a specific goal, but ultimately would like to see myself around the 160-range. I just try to take it a pound at a time, knowing this is my way of life now, and it will take a long time for me to lose it in a healthy - and permanent - manner.

    Good luck to all of us!!

    Look forward to the journey with you!

    I'm 5'9" 220 and looking to be around 160-170 too! I don't think that it's realistic to hope for less than that. I've already lost 50 lbs (not with MFP - just with healthier living) but plateaued horribly... so here I am. Feel free to add me! :)

    Hey.. I'm 33, 5'8" 230 and started somewhere around 275. I have been hovering around 230 give or take 5 pounds for ages and feeling like I'm never going to get below 225.. haha. My goal is somewhere around 160-170 but I really have no idea what any of that even looks or feels like. My primary goal right now is 199, baby! Anyone feel free to add.. support=success in my books. Rachel :)

    I'm 5'5'' and I started at 290, and am down almost 15 pounds. I actually love being a curvy lady, I'd just like a wider selection of clothes at stores lol (also that whole healthy thing, you know) Feel free to add me! :)

    I'm 36, 5'11" and started at 250. I got down to 208 on my own and then joined MFP. I'm now down 15 more pounds (but I only record my weight loss on Saturdays so it shows 12 pounds lost) so that puts me at 193 currently. My goal weight is 155 but I am very small boned so that number is not unrealistic for me. Feel free to add me if you want. Also, I haven't posted any large pictures of myself because I can't look at them without crying. Silly, I know but hopefully I will post some next week.

    I was around the exact weight when I was your age and stayed that weight for til I was 26. Glad your trying to make the change now. I wish I would have started earlier.
