Official "Get Friends" Thread

I'm Jorge, 31 and looking to get down to 180, currently i'm at 227 and was at 250 lbs when i started working out, i'd like to get to 180 and start putting on 10 pounds of muscle after that, i figure it'll take me about 8 months to get there but so far so good

a bit about me i'm a chef, a bit of a comic book nerd and a soccer monkey who has a knack for dark sarcastic humor a la george carlin and what not

i'm generally blunt to the point where hurting someone's feelings means little to me if it means getting the truth out, all in all just a regular guy making his way in the world

Hi all. I'm in my second half of diet. I've lost 10 kg and looking forward to lose another 10 kg. As you might know, it's always so much harder to lose last 5/10 kg so if there's somebody in the same situation and she/he logs in everyday to enter their daily food and exercise, we can support each other! Add me.

Hi I'm Joycleyn - log in daily and "like". I comment to encourage and LOVE to read diaries to give me an idea of what others eat for personal inspiration. I weigh myself everyday so I can look back and see what each day's food and exercise has produced the following day.

I'm looking to lose 34 pounds in 2 months for my 37th birthday and family reunion Fourth of July. I got this!!!

emotional_eater_gone_good

Hi All

I've been really active on MFP and have lost 12lbs over the past few months. Fell off the wagon the past few weeks.

I actually found that making a new account and fresh start may get me back into it...

But I would like to add friends for mutual peer support - but if possible people who are in it for similar reasons to me...

I am aiming to lose weight, yes, but most importantly... it's about improving my relationship with food. as you'll see from my username I'm an emotional eater. I have problems with my mental health, and I turn to food too easily.

So my reason for being here is not primarily about how much I weight / gain or lose, but about my relationship with food.

I'll be honest, on my last account, I was often frustrated as I felt like those who commented on my statuses often had very different aims to me and their comments reflected this... I am not just focused on numbers, but on having a healthy lifestyle and improving my relationship with food... if you are in it for similar reasons, please do feel free to add me

Hi! I'm Aaron and I've actually been on MFP for a while now. I'm fairly active on here chiming in from time to time or giving "likes." Having more friends to motivate you would be great! Only about half my MFP friends are actually active right now so it'd be great to fill up my dashboard with more activity Feel free to add me!!

Just came back on-line! I think it's been 14 months or so since I've logged in. How do I add a friend? Thanks!
