    I've been using MFP for almost 2 months now and have only been using it to log nutrition, I've done a pretty good job keeping myself accountable/logging in daily, etc. I'm 35 with a relatively good workout history, I love running and at home workouts, I'm not looking to build a ton of muscle but I would like to have a toned body with some defined muscle. I am currently 150 lbs. and would like to reach a healthy 135. I started a month and a half ago at 162 lbs. so I am definitely motivated, I just need a push.

    I'd love someone who will be willing to push me and help me with some accountability. Right now, my weak areas are weekends. I'm in the U.S. but I don't need a mentor who is. Message me with any questions, and thanks for considering me!

    27 year old female from the Netherlands looking for a mentor!

    I'd love for someone who has already been through this process to share their experience. I have about 30kg to loose, but have a lot of trouble sticking to routines and knowing what's good for my body regarding workouts. I seem to go one way or the other.. Starving myself or binge-ing, not pushing myself at the gym or pushing too hard and getting injuries. All age mentors are fine with me, though someone in GMT+1 time zone would be preferred. Please PM me, thanks :)!

    Hi all, I'm David 33 from Israel.
    2 years after an ugly divorce I've decided to take back control over my life and get into shape, meet new people and maybe take.a second chance on love.
    At the moment I'm keeping to a low-calorie diet and try to street-run with my dog at least 3 times a week.
    I'm 1.68m (5'6'') and started at 89.5kg (197 lb). My goal weight is 70kg (155 lb), so I need to loose about 20kg (40 lb).

    Friend me!

    Hi david.
    Send me a friend request and message of what you are hoping for,and i will try and help.
    Regards.

    Hi MFP! I'd like to be adopted! I'm 37, 5'7", former athlete, wondering how I managed to put on all this weight (likely related to my preferred cheese and wine diet). I live in the American South, am hounded by sweet tea, would like to do better w/ my diet and lose some weight (ideally approximately 30 lbs...). Would love a buddy to keep me accountable.

    I would like to be adopted. I am 43 years old, an accountant and over 300 lbs. I have 7 children ages 21 to 2 and have been married for 22 years. My husband loves me the way I am but is worried about my health. I was recently diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and have be sleeping in a recliner for over 3 years. I also injured my knee in January and it hasn't been healing as it should (mostly due to my being overweight.) I use to be extremely active when younger. I was in dance, lifted weights, walked 2 to 4 miles a day, aerobics etc. and I was a waitress. Then I got busy with life and got a desk job and now I am extremely overweight and out of shape and no energy. I feel bad because it is my kids that are suffering. Last month, I joined a 12 month weight management program through the hospital here. They suggested using MFP to track calories/activity. They have classes and you see specialist and have blood work done so I have accountability and even some motivation from that but I am looking for somebody that I can connect with on the app on more of a weekly/daily basis. Mostly for encouragement and possible advice. Thanks.

    I am volunteering to be a mentor. I'm 54, a stroke survivor and have been living a healthier lifestyle since January, 2016. I began my journey at 260 pounds, as of Tuesday, June 6, 2017 I weigh 185.4. My health has improved drastically. I'd love to help others realize that nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!

    Would love to be adopted. Here's my bio:

    I'm 28 and living in Canada for grad school, but am from the states. I'm 5'4 and 245 pounds. I've been up and down with weight loss before, but wasn't mentally in a place to stick with it until now. I'm looking for someone in my age range either younger or older, who can keep contact with me for check ins, advice, or even just to talk about the day. Someone who is lively and fun! Oh and I am in a wheelchair, but not wheelchair bound but I do suffer from a muscle disorder so working out is different for me. So I'd prefer someone who has experience either dealing with disabled individuals or is one themself. Thanks! :D

    My mentor-bio, which talks about my wheelchair use, should still be around here somewhere. Take a look at it and let me know if you believe that we'd click!

    Hi, my name is Michelle....I'm new here and would like to be adopted and make some new friends.

    I recently turned 50 (I still can't believe I'm 50) and have been on a journey to regain my former self. I want the second half of my life to be one where I am fit and lean.

    My goal is to lose about 30-35 pounds

    I had lost 15 pounds last year, but have managed to regain it much to my dismay.

    I have started exercising (Peloton and am contemplating restarting P90X3) but am having trouble with macros and consistency. I would really like a mentor to encourage and help with food diary, and give advice
