Hi everyone,

I've been on MFP for just under a month now, but haven't added any friends yet. I would like to add a few people in order to offer/receive motivation and to see how it improves my experience here.

A bit about me: last year I hit my heaviest weight- 160- but was able to lose 20 pounds. I'm here to lose the last 15, in order to be at my goal weight of 125 (I've been at my ideal weight in the past and want to get back to feeling great about myself).

Currently I'm unemployed and finishing up my master's thesis- I find being at home all day and constantly dealing with an unsuccessful job hunt and nothing to do but work on my thesis (which I'm losing motivation for) to be a huge source of stress and a reason I over-eat. But as a consequence of always being on my computer I'm always on here and tracking my food/exercise.

Anyways, I wish everyone luck with their weight-loss goals!

    I've been on here awhile and I am just venturing out to find friends to support me in my lifestyle change and to hopefully support others. Maybe we can motivate each other. I am currently at 119. At this point I really just want to tone up and keep a healthy lifestyle. Friend me if you would like.....:smile:

    i think having friends and people who you can chat/relate to keeps you motivated :)
