Looking for support

Hi - my name is Lisa and I am 37 years old with 90 pounds to get rid of. I have been using MFP for 20 days now and am happy to say I am down 7 pounds but I still have a long way to go and would love some support from people who know and understand the struggle.

  • Hi Lisa my name is Dian, I am 59 soon to be 60 ugh lol, but it sound's like you are doing really great. my daughter had a really hard time she was over 200 lbs overweight. She tell's me every day what a motivator I was to her. but I think she was being nice to me lol. I do have weight to loose so I hope we can be an encouragement to each other. I hope you have a good day and keep your head up girl.

    Add me.. I am here most weekdays... My basic philosophy is about creating and sustaining a healthy lifestyle... making good choices... and increasing physical activity... I was an athlete in High school, football, rugby, badminton... middle distance track runner... worked a highly physical and gruelling job for years... then got married had a kid.. and decided to sit on the couch for 15 years... BUT I am so over that now... anyway... I am always available to lend a hand
