    Hey I'm 23 yrs from newzealand and a runner aswell with not that much to loose and would be great to have some more friends on here to help keep me motivated as I tend to fall off the band wagon with my eating! Ran my first half marathon last year and going to run a full marathon this year so really want to get in the best shape of my life! Who's with me?!

    I am going on my second week on MFP I started writing on the message boards to kind of meet some people. I'm not too stressed on trying to lose weight but it definitely wouldn't hurt to shed maybe 5-10 pounds. I want to start running! Think any of you girls can give this lady pointers where to start? My goal is to train the next 6-7 months and run a 5 K or two (With a few different friends) by October!!

    I would love to talk to a few people who can help with that! :)

    Hey all! I am a runner. I have ran 3 marathons, 8-10 HM. I have 10 pounds of padding I'm looking to shed. I am looking for some friends...please feel free to add me;)
    I am currently 5'5, 134. I have recently finished Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and have started Ripped in 30. It's amazing the transformation in my underlying muscle structure when I went from practically no strength training to 6-7 days a week.
    I need to clean up my diet...possibly, think about decreasing my wine intake (boo-hahah).

    I need some more friends on here too! I have been using this to track for awhile but just recently started checking out the discussion boards. I am a runner (have done three half marathons and now want to work on improving my speed). I am 5'5 and my original goal weight was 140 but I am aiming for 135 now!

    I need some friends to keep me motivated, too! I am looking to lose around 10 pounds.

    Technically, I am just looking to fit into my jeans again, to hell with what the scale says.

    Most of my friends are heavier than I am , and not as health conscious. It makes it uncomfortable to eat healthy around them - does that make sense?

    Feel free to friend me too!

    I'm Linda, I'm 23 years old and from the Netherlands. I'm pretty tall, about 5'11".

    I usually weigh in kilograms but I'll convert to pounds too :)

    SW: 77.5 kg (170.8 lbs)
    CW: 74 kg (163.1 lbs)
    GW: 67 kg (147.7 lbs)

    I don't worry too much about weight though, I'm more looking to develop some muscles. I am reading NROLFW and want to start after a 6.6k run on April 20. Yep so I'm a runner too! Today I did the 12th out of 18 training days from a training schedule similar to C25k. I'm looking for friends so feel free to add me! :)

    yes that totally makes sense!! i know what you mean... people look at me like im crazy... "what r you thinking you dont need to lose weight, your skinny" they told me 20 lbs ago! screw them, its not about losing lbs, its about inches toning up and BEING HEALTHY!

    I love my few MFP friends but would like more.
    I'm 39 (40 is looming), 5' 6'' and probably 135 pounds (haven't weighed in a month and don't really care). I have never looked "in shape" even though I was thanks to biking and pilates. But now with a 3 year old, I'm just trying to get a little less squishy in my legs. No time to go biking now so I have been doing Jillian Michaels workouts. Currently doubling up on RI30 and KB&T.

    I'm tired of not finding pants to fit me because of my pear shape. And was very depressed when I gave up and bought a push up bra in a 34A. And even that has some empty space! I found my sports bra from when I was pregnant/nursing. 34DD!

    On the upside, I bought a bathing suit today and it was not a mortifying experience. And I'm starting to get that little dimple in the side of my rear.

    Hi!

    I have started MFP about a week or so ago and have been struggling with it. I don't have much to lose (5-10lbs), and I am a small person (5'2). I am very active and I love to run. It's amazing how only 5lbs can slow you down when you are trying get a personal best at a 5k. I have 2 kids and was at my "ideal" weight before getting pregnant with my second. I have been struggling since she was born to get back at my happy weight. So...it would be really nice to have a few more friends to hold me accountable.

    Thanks!

    Hey Hunni
    Feel free to add me :)
    I am also only 5 foot 2 and although i lost 2 stone a while ago some of it has slowly crept back on.
    I am now back in the zone and this morning lost 2lbs which i am really pleased with.
    I need to lose around 7-10lbs.

    Be great to have some friends of a similar size/weight loss to go etc.

    Love Stacey xxx
