    Carol, feel free to add me. I was in the same boat as you are. I have lost just about 60 lbs since January and still have about 50 lbs more to go.

    Hello Carol! My name is Lola and I can totally be that person for you if you could also return the favor. I've been using this site for almost a month and I've seen some improvements, but I still have a way to go. I have mentioned this site to friends and family, and like you no know I know is willing to do this with me. If you are interested, feel free to add me as a friend. Either way, best wishes reaching your goals!

    I sent you a request. I don't have a lot of real life support either! My hubby tries bless his heart. But no matter what I'm determined to make it!! We can do it together!

    I"m in the same boat. My boyfriend tries to support me but a lot of time it ends up sounding like a lecture to me. I'll send you a friend request. Anyone else, please feel free to add me. :) Together we can do this!

    Hi Carol, I feel the same way. I need someone looking over my shoulder and holding me accountable. I do great by myself for about a week and then start to fall back to my old habits. I will hold you accountable if you will do the same for me. I have been on MFP for about a week now and really love the supportive attitudes.

    I am so happy to see all the people adding me as a friend. You have all made me cry in a good way. I felt so alone going in this, not now. You kindness means so so much to me, I had felt hopeless. Again the biggest thank you!!

    Add me too, if you like. I've been giving this website to all of my friends who are interested in weight loss, but none of them are using it. Boo, oh well. It would be really nice to have a friend who is actually active on the site and willing to hold me accountable. Don't worry, I'll do the same for you!

    Feel free to add me - I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose... but I log on daily and am always available for support and good old kick in the pants ;)

    I'd love more accountability buddies too! I log on daily and have about 20 lbs to go, but they are incredibly stubborn! :)

    Feel free to add me! The staff at my office are offering great support during the week, but weekends are dicey sometimes. And let's not even mention my vacation last week *ahem*. (And, I mean, I like getting to know people and who doesn't need more support?) I put on weight at the drop of a hat, it seems, so sometimes it helps to have somebody pop by and say "Where have you been, Kayla?" "Why aren't you logging, Kayla?" "What have you been eating that you don't want us to know about, Kayla?" ;P
