    Hey my name is Danielle. I'm not new to this. I did this a couple years ago and was quite successful. But I fell off the wagon hardcore after meeting my now husband. I'm trying to get back on track and lose everything I gained back plus another 70 lbs. Add me. I can always use friends and supporters. This is hard to do without it.

    You will find many people here to lose more than 100+ lbs. I have completed 1/3rd of my journey in 5 months and it is achievable but consistency is the KEY. If you follow your daily calories you will definitely see the results. Good luck to everyone on changing life style journey:)

    I'm a repeat offender on MFP 1st day back today! I used this before about 2 years ago and was quite successful... then I don't know what happened but here I am back where I started :/
    I don't think my head realized how much weight I'd lost or how my shape had changed so this time I'm going to try and beat back the fat thoughts as I go and focus on the new me as she emerges (hopefully) :)

    Hello there! Anyone please feel free to add me, I started needing to lose 108 pounds! In January I was 238, started MFP in June at 214, and today I weighed in at 186.8! I am almost halfway there. My goal weight is 130 pounds and though when I started I had a small doubt I would reach it there is no doubt in my mind now that I WILL reach my goal weight!

    I no longer have over 100 pounds to lose, but I do still have around 20 to go. You can add me if you wish. I've been there, and I don't plan to EVER go back. I will say that after having been at this for over a year, I am kind of in "taking a short break" mode for right now, but it won't last long.

  • I'm new to MFP but I am also looking for friends that can chat and motivate me. I am a 28 and a mom of a 3yo son who is autistic. My goal is to lose 75lbs to become healthy and be able to keep up with my son and hopefully be around for a long time to come :) I've already lost 5 lbs and with a strong start I am very motivated. Please add me if you are interested in being my support and I look forward to supporting you towards your goals.

    Hi there I am a mum of 5, and like you I started out slowly making changes to improve my lifestyle and my attitude, I've been going to the gym for over a month now and loving it, it's my new routine and I love my new life. I have a lot of weight to lose too.
    I started at 115kg, my healthy bmi puts me at around 65kg so thats my long term goal. I am currently 106kg
