Two years ago, I was 165 pounds and out of shape. A former rower, I set my sights on returning to the sport as a lightweight, where competitors have a max weight of 130 pounds. I succeeded, and had a phenomenal final year of collegiate athletics.
Now, I'm hoping to compete at an international level, where the weight restriction is 125 pounds. I'm currently sitting around 133 and need support as I train and watch my calorie intake. I've done this before, so I know generally what I'm getting myself into, but I'm out of practice and having trouble getting back into the groove.
Is anybody else in similar situation? Trying to lose the last 10 pounds after a long hiatus?

Hi Mickey,
I am 152lb and out of shape but determined to loose all the extra weight and get fit. I just started a workout called Insanity and hope to loose the weight fast. I keep track of the calories with My Fitness pal and I am really watching what I eat. I wish you luck and hope that we can encurage each other!
