    I got your Friend Request and would be honored to do what I can! Be warned, however, that I mentor from a very Christian standpoint. If this offends you, unfriend me now.

    I would love a mentor to help me. I could use a little, or a lot, of motivation. I just turned 47 and have 80 pounds to lose. I am not an active person, but I am willing to put the work in. I do have a bad knee, so there are a bit of restrictions.

    I noticed a lot of these posts are from 2016, but if this is still a thing I would love the help!
    I'm 22, 5'6, and 180 lbs (20 pound weight loss since Mid April). I still have about 20-30 pounds to lose before I hit my goal. I've been stuck for a little while, not really making progress in any area, but I haven't truly been as consistent as I could be either. I'm EXTREMELY new to MFP. I just re downloaded and logged my first day yesterday so I'm still trying to navigate this and figure things out! Any help would be much appreciated!

    I need a mentor ! I'm a 65 year old diabetic who needs to drop at least 30 pounds. Going to Disney in one year so I will do this with some help and pushes. Hoping to find a mentor who is diabetic and can share their experiences in dealing with eating properly. In other words, I need help !

    Hello I'm a NOOB! (Well, kind of.) I've had this app on and off and this is my third go at it. A little about me to help a mentor figure out if im a good fit!
    I'm 20 (turn 21 next Friday woot!!) I'm 5'2" and I currently weigh 145 pounds. I'd just like to lose around 20 pounds so I can be a little happier with myself!
    Some of the struggles I have to overcome are; Chronic knee pain, Chronic back pain... and I'm absolutely exhausted 24/7 (which is undiagnosed) I lose motivation really easily! I'm not very good at motivating MYSELF. I'm really into MMA and am trying to get back into Muay Thai.
    Any mentors think I'd be a good fit for them? :)

    I’m a total noob. I’m 5’3, 126, all fat, no muscle. I’d like to lose 20lbs of fat and be more tone. I currently just eat 1,200 cals a day and walk 2 miles.

    I would LOVE to be a mentor. A bit about me:

    *I am 50 years old and live in North Carolina (so, Eastern Time Zone).
    *I am divorced and a father to two boys.
    *I was an athlete in high school and college.
    *I have been fit most of my life.
    *There was a five year time span when I was anything but fit.
    *I worked my way back to being fit.
    *I work in IT but my true passion is Health and Fitness (so, Personal Trainer).
    *I have worked with numerous folks before (mostly women, but some dudes as well).
    *I believe that mind set is everything.
    *I believe that adherence is key.
    *I believe that putting yourself in a position to succeed is key.
    *I don't believe that age should be an excuse for anything.
    *I believe that hard work and dedication/persistence are two important traits to success, for anything.
    *I believe that everyone has time for fitness. Is it a priority? That is the question.
    *I believe in following a proper program for training at first.
    *I believe that food is fuel. Nothing more (but dang it if I don't enjoy it anyway!)
    *I am prepping for a power lifting competition in March, 2018 (USAPL) at the moment (just started last week)
    *I believe in making this something that is fun and enjoyable. Hard work for sure, but fun (dang it!)
    *I believe 100% that everyone is different and that a single "cookie cutter plan" is - at best - dangerous.

    I am not really too good at "tell us about yourself" type things when I have to respond by writing. I am much better talking.

    I would be willing to take two or three folks on at a time. But, no more. I want to help these two or three reach all of their goals. Quality over quantity. I believe in doing things right, the first time. I would be available every day, but not for super long periods of time (like not more than 30 minutes per person per day).

    I would be honored to be selected as a mentor.

    If you are still looking for a mentor, I would be honored. And, if your husband wants to be mentored as well, all the more betterer! Yes, I said "betterer"!

    Hey, man! You still looking for help? I would be honored. I am on the East Coast across the pond from you. I think that it could work! What is it - five hours difference?

    I'm a noob looking for a mentor!

    Yesterday, the people I cherish most expressed deep concern about my health and poor quality of living. It was a moment that completely shocked me and probably saved my life. I'm 5'6, 235 lbs, and absolutely insecure and miserable. I used to be a very athletic and confident person and I know that woman is still alive inside of me, and frankly I'm desperate to get her out. Hating yourself is exhausting. I have a FitBit that I really enjoy using, a dog that always needs a walk, and a very strong drive to change my life. I've spent the last 3 years waking up depressed and pathetic every single day- I refuse to spend another moment feeling trapped inside of myself.

    Good evening! I would love to help you. If you are still looking and feel that we would be a good match let's talk!

    Looking for a mentor, just time-to-time support.

    I'm an athletic female (5'4'', 134lbs) with long-term physical injuries, and long-term disordered eating. I love to geek out on perception and emotion, down to the biology and neurology. :smiley:
