    We are already friends but I will post here :) I am 5'10.5 and I have 135lbs to lose. I am 27! I also have a large frame so I know I will always be on the higher end of the "normal" scale (whenever it is that I get down there!)

    I am open to anyone else that wants to be friends :)

    I'm 5'8.5'' and am at 235 pounds (people don't believe me either). I need to lose 85 lbs, but it would be absolutely fantastic if I could lose 100 lbs - or at least find somewhere in the middle where I have an athletic build again.

    Good luck with your goals! If it's okay, I'd like to add you and start building a support network :)

    5'11 and 293 here - I am 30 and decided that I can no longer use my baby weight from 2010's little bundle of joy as my excuse!!! I will tell you however that I started the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels (last Tuesday) and it's cut inches within the first 6 days... It's hard I won't lie but I am so glad that I am doing it because it changes you right away - not so much on the scale but you can feel it in your clothes... 30 Day Shred along with a good lifestyle change as far as what I'm eating and I feel so much better. What are you ladies doing for exercise and eating??? I always love new ideas!

    I'm 36, 5'8" and started at 262 lbs. This morning I weighed in at 235.5. People argue that I'm taller than I am and like you I carry my weight pretty well too. I began this journey with the goal to lose 110 lbs and...I'm going to do it this time!!! This time is different. I have two boys and a great husband that expect me to be healthy. I haven't started exercising yet but it's my next goal.

    Hi there! 29, 5'8, and would like to lose 100+ lbs from baby weight+. I've been at this two weeks and lost 4.4 lbs my first week! Feel free to add me! I'm a beast with the cardio and have 100% already adapted this lifestyle. I've made some awesome friends and would love to make some more! I think exercise should be about having fun.... well, that's life in general! But we have to have fun to do this.... allow our favorite foods in moderation... and forgive ourselves for cheating and keep it moving.... we just have to remember that we're all in this together and we have to enjoy it, or it'll be torture and we'll just give up. Best of luck, everyone! :)

    Yup. 5'9" & 297 after losing 11 lbs. No one belives me when I say weigh (not quite, anymore) 300 lbs either. Can't wait to be skinny enough to buy "tall" clothing again, and be able to button the cuffs on my shirt sleeves! :)
