    This looks like the perfect group for me! Goal is 60 lbs for now...just started and lost 8 in 2 weeks but like all of you not my first rodeo so know the challenges ahead and would love a group for motivational support! Add me!

    Just the friends I've made in the past week have really helped keep me motivated - I love seeing all the inspiring stories of those who have made it so far in their weight loss. It's awesome! :)

    Hi Hilary and all other posters! It's so helpful to know I'm not alone. Weight loss has definitely been a struggle for me too. Over the past 7 years I've lost 114 lbs total (no surgery just nutribullet juicing and counting calories). I went on a cruise late 2015, came back 10lbs heavier and have been gaining since. I'm so mad at myself that I was 25 lbs close to my goal weight and let it slip away! Now I have 50 lbs to lose and although it's a lot, I know it can be done with some of the methods I used before. Let's support each other!

    You've done it once - you KNOW you can do this again!!! :)

    Adding you! :)

    Maybe if we chat enough, we'll all be able lose our goals. I can't lose anything. I've been going grain-free for a month now with a maximum of 1200 calories. I'm keeping track on mfp because it's easy. It works everthing out for me. My problem is medication . ... and the fact that I have arthritis in both feet. Sure, add me as a friend, It would be great to have a buddy. . . . . . .

    I've got arthritis in both of my knees...it definitely poses a challenge when just trying to get around and such. It's so frustrating!!

    Relatively new to MFP. I've lost about 15 lbs since Christmas, hoping to lose around 70 more. PCOS and being in my 30's with a desk job aren't making it easy! Feel free to add me. :)

    Desk jobs definitely do NOT help make this process any easier! I have alerts set up on my fitbit to buzz once an hour just so I remember to get out of my chair sometimes!

    Congrats on losing 18 so far! I have 30 to lose and could definitely use some positive support and friends on the journey!

    Thank you!! I think positive support could make or break it for me this time. Just going to surround myself with it! :)

    Adding you! :)

    Hi! I'm intermittent fasting 11 days in and 6 lb down with around 80 to go. This has so far been the most tolerable and effective attempt at weight-loss I have ever tried, I started with 30 minutes cardio per day and am now up to 60 minutes and am starting to work on intensity. My diet is not ideal but getting better all the time :) happy to add anyone, or for anyone to add me as it helps to see others progress and achieve their goals!

    Hello like you I've been using this app for over a year now and this is my first time checking out the community here. I've lost 50lbs from Jan 2016 to June and regained 15lbs over the fall and Christmas time and I'm working on taking that 15lbs off and 80lbs more. I'm hoping meeting more people that are on the same lifestyle change will help.

    Friends do make all of the difference, accountability does help. So far this year I have lost about 23 lbs and I have about 86 lbs to go to get to my goal weight. Always wanting to help others in any way that I can, because it helps me as well.

    I have *so many* pounds to lose. This isn't my first round on MFP, I've been lurking for 4 years and before that, I successfully lost 40-50 pounds. Which came back with interest. Lets do it!

    Been there jeez. I had lost 20kg and was doing pretty well (a goal of 30kilograms or 66lbs total, heaviest 90kg) and then I stopped exercising and focused on getting my second novel done... Well over time 15 came back, 5 of which straight after gym which are dropping off because of retention/water weight. I don't like using that term because it can easily be an excuse where what you're really doing is eating candy or something.
    Anyway I'm up for being anyones friend! Message me, bug me, swap recipes, discuss anime, I'm up for whatever.

    Congrats on you weight loss so far! I'm looking to drop between 70-85lbs and to keep it off!! That is my main struggle, I'm confident that we can all get through it. To be completely honest fitnesspal keeps me more realistic of every bite that I take.

    I know very few people who have ridden on the weight loss merry-go-round just once. Or is a roller coaster? lol

    Knowing when you eat something you have to then go and log it makes you a lot more aware of what you're putting in your mouth. It's helped me tons!!

    Hello!

    I've been using MFP for years but have never done anything in the community area or tried to find friends here for more motivation. Maybe that's my missing key? =D

    I'm working on losing 110 pounds (18 down so far!) so I'd love to find friends that also have a good bit to lose.

    Add me! :)

    -Hilary

    Hi... I'm Jill. Im currently 230, I'd love to get to 160. Reality is... 200. I yearn to be healthy.... MFT has helped me A LOT.... Tracking my meals made me realise all the crap I eat!! Hoping this community will help me....
