    Thanks, I really appreciate it. I hope I didn't come across as self-pitying when I wrote my previous post.

    Not at all :-)

    So who will revisit this thread I wonder? . . .

    Along52111 – thanks for getting this started. Your weightloss is just great. What is your next goal? I think if we each put our mini-goals on here we can helk each other achieve them.

    Gvroxie – is that short for Groovy Roxie? I like it! If we can help you figure out how MFP works please ask. I would recommend focusing on logging all FOOD and EXERCISE and following a couple of threads. You can go to MY TOPICS to easily find us again.

    Michele2224 – Hope you come back and keep this going with us! If you make your diary public we can help you with tracking what works and share some ideas.

    Susanjackson6 – such an impressive ticker!! What has been the one thing you won’t waver on during this journey? Do you track everything you eat here on MFP?

    Sour_girl – WE WANT TO SEE YOU REACH YOUR GOAL!! If your diet buddy doesn’t motivate you or needs you to hold their hand then they’re the easiest kind of ‘dead weight’ to lose! Move on and make this journey solely about YOU. It’s ok to be selfish about this!!

    Candy69apple7 – Nice progress your first week!! Love MFP on my phone also. Did you know you can scan UPC codes with it? AWESOME!! Add me if you want another friend to support you.

    Angieeishere – We’ve both lost 50lbs. How great do you feel? I had dropped 70 and gained 20 back recently. Can’t tell you how uncomfortable that makes me. Determined to get it back off this summer and continue where I’d left off. I think we joined MFP the same month/year also. Good luck – hope to chat with you here more.

    Manni92385 – I will add you to my friends list. MFP really does work if you get involved in an active group. Our group sort of disintergrated in May/June and all of us have started to ‘creep back up’ the scale. I’m back and plan on sticking around. I really need this to keep me on track and motivated. Hopefully we’ll get this group strong enough to start some challenges!

    Mayflowers222 – Not sure who you are but your profile pix is HOT! LOL

    There are so many others. I will add you all as friends and look forward to getting to know each of you!

    Ps – I don’t usually post long posts like this – but I needed to spend some quality time on MFP this morning to get myself motivated. Thanks!

    How did your group work? I've never been a part of an active group / support group so I'm not really sure how people use them... I'm definitely up for getting a strong group together and putting some challenges out there! Who doesn't love a challenge to help get their motivation up :).

    Hi! I'm new to the site and looking for some friends. I downloaded the app to my phone a couple of months ago, but haven't used it much. I logged on to the site on my computer for the first time today.

    I'm ready to get serious about weight loss. I'm 30 years old and a mother of 4. Feel free to add me as a friend!! :)

    @ RenaeJae - I did track everything I ate for a long time and actually lost over 40 pounds. When i first started on MFP I was super motivated and dedicated to eating less and exercising. Then I guess I got burnt out, for a while. I also have put nearly 20 pounds back on and not liking it at all. :angry: A lot of my early success was challenges I joined and friends support I received here on MFP. Then it seemed like everyone started dropping out of challenges and leaving and so did my motivation. So I am really trying to surround myself with people who are active in challenges and hoping I can get back to where I was. I just started Insanity ( for the 3rd time) but I am determined to finish it this time!!:smile:

    Hello! I'm pretty much new to this! I had joined in the past & then life & school took over, & well. . . I looked at some recent photos of myself & thought enough is enough!! I weigh now what I do when I've been pregnant & I wasn't one of those pregnant mom's with the cute basketball belly. . .oh no, I gained 40-50 lbs with each pregnancy! But this time, it's all me. . .no baby to blame it on! I would love to part of a support group. . .this weight has got to come off!!

    Hi! I'm new to this too and looking for some motivation and support as well. Gained some weight since ordering my wedding dress for my wedding that is less than 120 days away. Have some hard work to do to fit into the dress and will need some motivation.

    Hola!

    I'm new to MyFitnessPal and would absolutely love to join with any of you on the journey to losing weight! I am looking for encouragement too. I've been watching past seasons of The Biggest Loser, and over and over--and the one thing the trainers are always saying, to log what you eat. This was the perfect site and I love that I scan bar codes from my phone to track calories.

    Add me it you'd like to be on my weight loss team :)
