Looking for friends to start the new year off right

gingerandspice

I have tried numerous diets before, but this time is going to be different. I am determined not to fail, but have success. I am looking forward to gaining valuable friendships on this weight loss journey to get healthier, for myself, and family. I am nurse and take care of everyone but myself, which is common in the healthcare field. And the time is now, to start taking care of my health. My husband and I have 3 children, and I am at my heaviest weight in my life. I am looking for friends who want to support, and encourage each other on this journey. Cheerleaders ! lol

Hello. I would be happy to be part of your support system! I lost about 75 lbs aabout three years ago and about half of that has creeped back on to me in the past year or so. I have gone back to my old habits and am just feeling miserable with the extra weight. my goal is to lose 50 to 60 lbs. ( I had not reached my full goal 3 years ago) I am living proof it can be done, but I am here to say you need a support team behind you that's for sure.
My fitness pal is new to me, so not sure how to use the community forums and support. I just discovered the community tab after using my fitness pal off and on for a mont..lol just let me knowif you have any pointers using this app

Hi I'm new hear and would love to help. I am a health freak who 3 years ago was at a very unhealthy weight of just 49kgs. In an effort to gain the weight I was never able to, I turned to take-aways because a healthy one wasn't working. After 3 years I've gone a little over my proper weight and struggle to turn back to the healthy way. So in both walks of my weight life I know what its like to fail, but with a can do attitude we'll make it!

I lost 4.5kg (9.9lbs) since I used myfitnesspal and mapmyrun/mapmywalk and also my fitbit. I would like to reach my goal of 45-54 from 83kg therefore, I would like to have healthy weight watcher and cheerleader as my buddy. Please add me Thank you so much

I'm a single mum and a student writing up a PhD. I'd like to lose a little weight. Not much. Improve my cardio fitness after sitting around so much lately. I'd like to have a few friends to meet the challenges with. Perhaps have a few competitions to bolster each other or get me going when I'm feeling lazy. This forum seems the place to be!

I'll join in! I'm trying to stop compulsive overeating, so happy to help anyone, including myself stay accountable. I lost my job and turned to food basically, and my career is a young person's game so being overweight is not helping. I need to lose weight to look good, to get a job. I'm happy to be a sounding board, anytime.

Hello. I'm a recent law school graduate. I gained about twenty five or thirty pounds while studying for two different state's bar exams & also dealing with a breakup. I am finally done with ten years of college (finally!) & now I'm ready to lose the bar exam weight I gained, as well as an additional forty or so. So all in all, I want to lose fifty to sixty pounds.

I have lost fifteen pounds or so already. I began by dieting, then added exercise in the mix. I do not look particularly heavy, & no one would ever believe I planned to lose another sixty pounds. But I am exceptionally dense. I am naturally very muscular & have always weighed a LOT more than I appear to. That's a good thing usually because I carey weight well; but it's also frustrating because I have to lose quite a bit of weight before there is any discernable difference.


I would love to have an I dividual workout/diet buddy to share my journey with & provide support to. If anyone is interested, please feel free to shoot me a message! Thanks!

I would like to help and receive the same encouragement aswell . About 5 years ago I lost about 133 lbs and felt great . We'll I don't know what happened , I fell off track after a small injury and could never climb back on . I do believe if I had the right encouragement and support I could have succeeded . I have now gained about 80 lbs back and feel miserable .I am married with 3 kids and look to start with an healthy outlook for me and my wife and children for 2015 !
To whom all it may concern PLEASE ENCOURAGE !

Welcome to everyone new! You can all feel free to add me. I've been here since June and have lost 40lbs so far with another 30lbs to go. I've fallen off the wagon a bit in the last couple of weeks due to being back on steroid medication that makes me crazy hungry all the time - plus Christmas! I'm starting a new treatment on the 7th so hopefully I can get back on in the new year.

Hi all, let's motivate each other!! I too am looking to drop a few and get back to a healthy lifestyle, but life and sad excuses seem to always interfere. Hoping to make myself accountable for inaction, make some great connections and help others achieve their goals! Feel free to add me
