Hi!!!
I'm 5ft9 and started MFP in January this year but left around March when my life went haywire. I got back on track in July and started losing again (actually lost nearly all my weight since then) and went back to MFP.
January I was 207lb and now I'm 167. I have the same goal as you though.
If you want/need friends, my name on MFP is PrincessLou71186. I only ask you let me know if you are adding me from here or from the MFP thread.
Good luck with everything, I'm sure you;ll reach your target in no time.
