Looking for friends to keep that fire lit

jirocpa

Hey all, been on MFP for a while, but never looked for or added friends, thinking I could do it all myself, blah blah blah. Well, a few years (and yo-yo weight cycles) later, I'm beginning to think that all those ads and articles trumpeting about how having a support system is crucial may be on to something.
So about me...live on Long Island in NY, 42, male, married with two young boys. I enjoy mountain biking (as much as is possible on a big sandbar), running, hiking, golf, etc. Just about anything outdoors. I try to exercise 3-4x per week, a mixture of cardio and strength training. I weigh in at 191, and am looking to lose another 10-12 lbs, but more importantly, I need to keep it off. That's where friends come in.

I'm looking for people that are in somewhat similar situations, are active on the site and outspoken enough to tell it like it is and not afraid to shoot off a quick message to keep me accountable. I can certainly do the same for you. The internet is so anonymous, it's dangerous! I'm susceptible to take weekends off, and while I don't eat my face off, I don't track everything I've eaten, etc.

So please, if you are up for it, click on my profile and send me the 'add a friend' with a note or reply to this post.
Thanks for reading this entire post and I wish you all luck in your weight loss journey!
