Hi my name is Allison, and I'm looking for friends on MFP! I've been on it for five days. I have used MFP in the past and had success loosing about 18 lbs several years ago when I was feeling flabby. I am feeling it again, and just had some major motivation -- someone at work asked me if I am "expecting" (I am not). Looking to loose about 20 lbs and get down to 140 lbs or so. Message me/friend me if you want :)

    Hi, I'm Kerry and cannot seem to get my head round this app yet. I'm starting AGAIN and need to lose 28lb. I've been I formed that I need reset my metabolic rate! A nutritionist was very helpful and positive that I could do this and begin to lose the weight. I just can't afford the £pounds he's talking about, so going it alone.

    Hi, looking to lose about 12 lbs myself to get to 135 lbs by summer. Nothing like someone suggesting pregnancy to get you motivated!! Good luck :-)

    Can I join in please? I've been on this app for a few days. Need to lose 29lb. Have been trying to lose it since Christmas but no. No idea how to join a group, make friends - only just managing the diary! My biggest issue is emotional eating. I need someone to remind me why I'm doing this and just give my head a wobble when I fall off the wagon.

    I need to lose 50 lbs myself. I am on day 15 and have lost 5 lbs. I cut my Dr. Pepper intake from minimum of 3-4 day to a 1/2 one every 3 or 4 days. I am drinking more water and feeling so much better. I have had the pregnancy suggestion also. I finally decided I am going to do this! I can do this for me and my kids and husband. I would love to be friends with y'all. Good luck Allison you can do it!

    Hi, I need to lose 20ibs too. Finished chemo about a month ago and put on over a stone during treatment. Want to now lose and that a little more to give myself the best chance of staying in remission. I'm very motivated right now - after months of sitting on sofa and eating crap it's nice to have energy to exercise and even better to be able to taste food. Tend to fall off the wagon though after a few weeks so needs others to remind me why I'm doing this. I'm using a clean eating approach.

    Hello! I have lost 10 pounds in the last month or so by exercise and watching what I eat. However, I would like to lose about 20 more pounds. I have trouble sticking with the app and have no one to help/keep motivated with, so if anyone would like to add me that would be great! Thanks!
