Hello! My name is Angela. I have been overweight ever since middle school and have always hated the way I look. I am just now beginning to get extremely serious about my weight loss. I am looking for friends who I can motivate and be motivated by who are also around the same page as I am. I am 20 years old, 5'5", and currently 186lbs. My final goal weight is around 120-130. A goal of 50lbs feels pretty far away right now but I know I can do it. Anyone else want to join me on this journey? Add me!

    I'll add you. I'm 24, currently at 202, looking to drop about 50 pounds to get down to the 150s. Been on and off the weight loss wagon for years. I'm so sick of it...I want to look good and feel good.

    You can add me. I have lost almost 60 lbs while on MFP. I am now trying to tone up. I was overweight all through my adult life but I decided to put a end to that.

    I would love some help staying motivated!

    I lost like 44 lbs in 2010-2011 when I first got married and went from 180 to 136.
    Got pregnant in 2011 and had my daughter in 2012, lost most of the pregnancy weight.
    Got pregnant again in 2012 and had my second daughter in 2013.

    Since then, I have been in a funk. I'm BF'ing so I don't know how to cut calories the right way. I'm constantly indulging in boxes of oreos, milkshakes, ordering pizza and chinese. I know it's terrible but I can't just eat a little, I love food and I love to eat.

    Anyway, currently I am at 165 and want to get down to 125. I am trying to stay motivated and hopefully coming onto MFP constantly will help remind me to stay away from chocolate covered bacon and eat healthier.

    Please feel free to add me to help each other stay in the game. :)
