I am in desperate need of friends on MFP. I have succesfully lost 47 pounds over the last 2 months by using MFP, but I am starting to "hit the wall." I need some encouragement and/or competition. Will you be my friend? lol

Thanks for all of the friend requests. Wow! It was quite a shock to log on and see 27 FR in an hour.

Well, I have always been an athlete. I have played both HS and college level football as an offensive lineman. I was good enough at that position to receive scholarships from Oklahoma State, Houston, UTEP, and a few Div. 2 and 3 schools. I was into strength training and powerlifting for many years... If you know anything about offensive lineman, you will understand that they are usually the strongest guys on the team. When my playing days were over... my powerlifting days also ended. I gained about 50 pounds in the 3 years following my last school year as football player.

I have been using MFP since July and I have been able to drop 47 pounds so far. I attribute most of that weight loss to the fact that I already have a significant amount of muscle under the fat that I've put on. I'm going to make a lot of people mad by saying this... but I haven't even started a workout plan yet.

I only allow myself to eat 1500 calories per day... and I follow the other restrictions that MFP places on me through the food diary.
