in Motivation and Support
Looking for female friends to add to help me stay accountable! I'm new to MFP and I think this'll help me stay on track.

I'm a runner and like to stay active. I'm 5'6 and have 12 to lose. Was thinking we could also make a Facebook group or GroupMe for support!

    I’m turning 46 tomorrow. I started MFP 2 years ago when I wanted to lose 10lbs. I didn’t understood how to work with it, stopped working out and gained 10lbs instead of losing 10lbs. Would love to join the group for motivation

    I need a lot more than accountability.

    I’m getting married in July and so far my weight loss attempts have repeatedly failed. Im dreading my wedding bc I don’t want to be overweight and not feel my best. I’m desperate for accountability and would love to join a Facebook group!

    MFP allows you to "friend" people and communicate on their "walls".

    It also allows you to create private forum groups that are separate from the main forums.

    Have fun and enjoy MFP and meeting your goals!

    I can always use more accountability. I'm also a runner. Doing 80 Day Obsession right now also. I'm sort of trying to lose 3-4 more vanity lbs.

    I would love to join an accountability group. I'm planning to run a half marathon in June and need to start training. I have about 25 pounds to lose.

    I thought this was a forum group. How can we find them?

    This is a public forum group.

    On the web version you can go: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/groups/browse/mine

    At the right hand side you can create a new private forum group. Or look at a bunch of other (mostly inactive but some are very active) private discussion groups.

    I mentioned it because you guys seemed to be looking for a private area.

    It is more usual for people to friend each other on MFP. That way they can have discussions on each others' walls. But of course a forum can be seen by all participants at the same time.

    Hi! I was an runner with a couple half and one full marathon under my belt. Gained weight after kids and I'm slowly getting back into the groove of things. Would love to participate in an accountability group! Whether it be a group on MFP or Facebook - I'm down for anything :smile:

    I'd love to join in as well! Recently returned to MFP - 6 months postpartum. I had used it before my wedding back in 2015 and it was great motivation. I unfortunately gained all that back after baby. Recently joined Orangetheory and starting to meal prep so help staying accountable would be fantastic!
