    You are absolutely welcome to add me if you like...as is anyone else for that matter :) I Started this journey needing to lose 170 pounds to get to goal. I have lost 58 of it so far. Now...I did have surgery...but before people discount me for it...WLS is not a magic bullet or a cure for being fat. It simply is one more tool that allows me to stay on track. I still have to be very mindful of everything I eat and I simply must exercise. I keep an open diary so anyone is welcome to see what I am consuming on a daily basis. I do maintain a higher than normal protein goal because I have to in order to stay healthy. I get most of my carbs from healthy fruits and veggies. This is definitely a life change and I am always happy to add more friends for some mutual support :)

    I would love for you to add me. I have about 150-170 pounds to lose. I have lost 14 pounds in 26 days. I keep my diary open. I also do allow myself an occassional splurge but try to really stay close on my calories. If I eat something I record it. And most times if I eat something out. I make sure I burn most of the calories off.

    Hey hon, first of all CONGRATULATIONS on loosing 23lbs!!!! You should be really rpoud of yourself. It sure is an inspiration : )

    I just joined MFP yesterday, and to get to the upper limit of my healthy weight range, I need to loose 88lbs! And I want to achieve this goal in a realistic manner.

    I started on the journey fourth week of April, and have been sticking to it. I do have off moments ("moments" making sure not day or days) I do give into a bite or 2 bites of temptation, but that's all I allow my self these days!

    So far so good :)

    Can't believe the response! It's great! I'm glad some people didn't take my McDs comment so seriously! I'll support anyone,as long as they aren't doing something I consider dangerous! ;)

    I started out with one hundred to lose. You can add me if you would like but I must warn you...YOU will see McDonalds in my diary. I have four kids, we live twenty minutes from the big city and sometimes we get caught on the fly. I never eat a full meal and if I'm not super hungry I throw the top bun away. LOL it happens. McDonalds didn't make me fat, my choices did.
    I was eating 1200 calories a day and just bumped it up to 1400 and I feel better.

    I would love to join your group. I have about 100 still to lose. I recently did Optifast as I was desperate to get past the six week wall I seem to always hit with any diet. However, now I'm back to eating right and trying to work out. I have just started back with MyFitnessPal so do not have an ongoing diary but will start posting and keep it open.

    It's a long journey but well worth it.

    I set my goal for 77 lbs. but I need to lose over 100. I felt that getting to 200 lbs. would be a good goal since I haven't seen 200 lbs. in a looong time. So yea. We are on the same journey sort of!

    Add me! I've got quite a long weight loss journey ahead of me as well and I'm new to the forums because I usually use the mobile app so I can use all the friends I can get! I rarely eat out but I do have a cheat snack once in awhile (hopefully I'll cut that out soon)

    I am open for friend requests! I have about 120lbs to lose and have lost 37 lbs so far in 10 weeks. I am very committed and avoid fast food but I do have days where I get a salad from Wendy's or dine out with the family. This is FOR LIFE not just a diet :-D
