I kept reading and saying to myself "craaaaap everyones way smaller than me"

kates106 you seem to be the closest one to me so far.

I'm calorie counting and going to the gym 4 times a week. Been on it since the first of the year, 17 pounds down so far!

We are pretty close! I also started at the the start of the year I'm only down 8 pounds though. I'm doing the same thing just counting calories and going to the gym 4 times a week. Add me my fitness pal if you use it so we can encourage each other! (kates106)

Oh my goodness! This sure goes to show that I'm...very out of it when I view this thread. I just saw this now, despite the fact that I actually posted after seeing your post! MY GOSH I'm so sorry about that! We really are quite alike though! ^_^

Awesome idea!!

I'm 21, 5' 4"

SW/CW/GW 190(was a while ago that was my heaviest...my current weight is actually what I'm starting at now/165/ 130

Defining, Rated, SallyLA...I think we are quite similar! Still too new to PM though...for now... ;P

Heyyyo RideRunRepeat,

I'm actually starting at 164.5 and am aiming for the 130's as my ideal goal. My heaviest was in the high 170's (college took its toll)
AND I'm 5'4".
AND I'm….ok, I'm 25 but that's pretty close to 21.
AND I'm new to the forum. Haha.

I'm so excited people are finding twins to keep motivated!
Now... If someone could be my twin, That'd be grand haha

I'm 27 (truth because this is anonymous, to your face, I'm 24 and have been for the past 3 years ) and a tall 5'8 .

My beginning weight was 250, I am currently 230, and my goal is 150, so a total of 100lbs is what I am going to lose. I want at least the first 50 gone by my birthday, which is this summer, where I may or may not be turning 25, I haven't decided yet...

Height: 5 ft 10 inches
Starting Weight: 276
Current Weight: 229
Goal Weight: 135

Checking in here! Down 19 so far. Hope everyone's staying motivated.

cdavidowsky, we're similar! I'm 24, 5'3 3/4, 190lb (might be more, too scared to look at the scale), and would like to get down to 125lb. So far my eating habits have been really bad (chocolate and sugar galore) but I'm going to try to start by keeping my junk intake to a minimum. I hate working out but I just got a recumbent bike and I'm hoping to use it for at least 15 minutes every day. When I find my ID, I'll try to go to the gym at least twice a week. Eventually I'd like to try strength training out, but for now I feel more comfortable with cardio.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are several of us who are all right around the same point.

Early(ish) 20's
Either 5'4" or shorter
Mostly close to the 155-165 range
All aiming for ~125-135

Am I crazy? Listed in order of posting : SallyLa,Atarimae, Esponceda, Rated, skittlesfirehawk, RideRunRepeat, LilDazed - gosh darn it, even Amygdala, underanalysis, LawGirl88, cdavidowsky37, polymertastic are also all pretty close.

We could almost start our own thread. Or some kind of chatroom, or something.

That would be *perfect*!!!

I could fit into that list too. hah

I am 5'4", 179 lbs, 28 years old and looking at a goal of 135-140

I'm thinking that since we're all looking at the 35-55lbs (ish) weight loss....could we be the 'Forty Shorties'? (Oh god, that sounds like a rap song, maybe not...)

Close enough works for me! Let's do it!
