    Good luck. Remember to give yourself little targets as a huge weight to lose can be demotivating if you only look at the and goal.

    Hi, I also joined recently and have much to loose. It feels like it is too much and too big of a challenge, please add me. I don't know how to do the friend invites yet. When I click on your profile it only says sent message or ignore?

    Once you're on that page that says message or ignore, select the user name (in this case, aprilfunk7). On the next page, you'll be able to add her. :)

    Good luck! I know it's hard to take care of yourself when you are taking care of everyone else. I also need to lose about 140 pounds. We can do this!

    Hi April! Nice to meet you. I am new to this community too.. I am looking to lose 60 pounds. I think it would be great to make new friends and find a supportive group in all of this. Take care. ☺

    Hi all, I've been using the app for years now but never reached out! Lost close to 40 pounds originally but have gained some back as we're expecting our first child. Still use the app to keep my weight gain down. But will be back on track as soon as the munchkin is out! Welcome all new friends!

    I also need to lose about about 120 pounds. I love that the community here is so strong. I've been here for awhile but have never been to the community section of MFP. I welcome all friend requests for added support and accountability. :)

    Hi April,

    You can do this! It won't be easy but it'll definitely be worth it.

    I still have about 50lbs to lose myself.

    Feel free to add me so we can help and support each other :)

    Hi there! There are some great groups here on MFP that I think you would like.

    This one has a lot of members, very caring and you get lots of feedback:
    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/3322-100-pounds-with-no-surgery

    This one is much smaller and has a lot of the same members. Also very helpful and motivating:
    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/115768-losing-100-pounds-naturally-no-surgery

    I am a member of both. :)
