I have been using MFP and FitBit for the last 2.5 months and have just started to lose some of the 200 lbs total I would like to shed. I live in the Boston area and now that the weather is turning I am struggling a bit to find ways to keep moving while indoors. I have also been working hard on eating better and learning portion control. Lurking on the forums here and on FitBit has been a great help - but I am finally ready to be more active in the community. To that end I am looking for friends to keep me motivated.

If you are seeking friends please consider adding me.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon!

    I'm 36, and like you I've got a large amount to lose, I've only recently started getting serious myself. Feel free to add me, we can help each other!

    Oh my gosh . . . You've lost 28 lbs :) - YAY! - Instead of focusing on 200 - chunck it - go 3-5 lbs - or even 1 lb - I have seen (on Pinterest) what one lb looks like - you would be IMPRESSED with yourself if you visualized all that off your body :) - !

    Way to go keep up the HARD work :)!
