Hi everyone.. 42 year old mom and wife on a journey to lose weight and keep it off! I am currently 180 lbs., down from 197. I am 5'3". At this time I'd like to get down to about 145 (I was there about 8 years ago and liked it!). I am not currently exercising. (if you don't count constant housework exercise.).

My initial goal was to consume between 1200-1400 calories a day, however, I am barely able to consume 1000-1100. I feel fine, I know if I were exercising I would have to bump up my calories.. that being said, I'm doing good right now.

I'm looking for supportive positive people who are on a serious journey to lose weight like me!

    Feel free to add me. I'm a 55 year old mom of three, wife, and teacher. I started here in October at 5'5 1/2", 179 lbs. Current Weight: 155. Goal weight: 135. I'm doing this because I need to get healthy for me as well as all those I care for in my life.

    I am 5'3" and weigh 176 lbs. I want to get down to at least 130- maybe less. I'll see if I ever get down there! I was 105 in high school but that's ancient history. I am 53 and find it difficult losing weight nowadays. I also need help getting and staying motivated and would like to have some online friends so that we could help each other. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I am 5'7 and 235 and only 19! AH! SO i am beginning my struggle with weight early due to many knee issues. Im a mother of one and attend college full time and am getting married in April (would prefer to be smaller than my fiance). I need support also because it is hard for me to not just go stop at a fast food place for a quick meal. Hope your journey goes well! :)
