Hi. Im new here and would love some friends and support! MY "offline " support has not worked out, but I haven't given up!! I'm looking for friends and support! Would LOVE that!

Im trying to lose 20-30 pounds...for health..........and ok, I'll admit..vanity!! I've lost 11 pounds on my own, but have not had much luck with outside support in my last 20-30 pounds. (My profile details this a bit more) Since I'm a realist, I understand the ball is in my court, and Im the person responsible for making any weight loss happen. However, I want and need friends and support! I've tried forming running groups, walking groups, etc., but have had no luck. It just gets lonely always doing it by myself! Would anyone care to lend me their hand? ~Kelly

    YEAH, BEST ADVISE IS STAY AWAY FROM THE NEGATIVE LIBERAL MINDED WHO JUST TEAR DOWN AND NEVER BUILD UP A PERSON.

    You can add me if you like.

    FWIW I began taking supplements to assist with weight loss last November and kept that up and still take them. I began hitting the gym fairly hard in April. 2 months later from supplements and gym I weighed the exact same. I saw changes in my body, but whatever weight I had lost was replaced by muscle.

    One day I went to Arby's and got their chicken salad wrap. Chicken, grapes, walnuts and a wrap, sounded like a good choice to me. I stopped and talked to the secretary when I got back and she looked it up and told me it was 640 calories! That next morning I joined MFP and began sticking to my calories it gave me. In 50 days using MFP I'm down 14 lbs while continuing everything I had been doing before but not losing any weight. I didn't eat a lot, but it was almost all convenience food that was just loaded with calories. Knowing what I ate and sticking to my goal made all the difference for me.

    Feel free to add me! I'm a 41 year old mom to two boys (ages 3 and 8). I work part time as a substitute teacher, and log every day, days when I'm home, I leave MFP up all day :) I've lost 29 pounds, only 11 to go! But the last ones seem to be the hardest.

    You can send me a friend request if you'd like! Don't mind a bit. I'm 33, I've lost 42 lbs, and I'd LOVE to lose those last. three. stubborn. pounds. I REFUSE to give up!

    I'm a little quirky, I love to sing on here, I try to make people laugh, but most of all, I TRY and be as supportive as I can. I have a great support system within MFP and I've actually grown to consider ALL of them my friends!

    :-)
