Looking for amigos (friends)

My name is Betty I am 26 and a mommy of 2 lovey girls!! I am a first year teacher and the school where I work is doing the biggest loser and I have always wanted/needed to lose weight. I weighed 188 pounds at my first weigh in, which was yesterday!

According to the website I am overweight and should be between 118-159 pounds. so I am currently about 20 pounds overweight. I would like to get the healthy me back! Twenty pounds seems like much but like they say in SPANISH "SI SE PUEDE" Yes You Can!!

I would love to support many of you if you could support me as well. They say if you have at least 3 friends in your circle you are motivated that much more!!!

Welcome to MFP! It's a great tool. I want to lose 50-60lbs. I'm always looking for supportive friends. I'll send you a request.

Hey Betty, welcome! I recently lost something like 30 pounds with WW, and I'm finishing up my journey with this app. I wish I knew about it from the beginning, it's awesome! Those 20 pounds are going to fly off and you'll just be a sexier sexy mama

Hi all,

I too have been on this journey for a while. Love this app, but also use Sparkpeople as well. Any support I can give, I'm normally pretty good at being the cheering section for others. Hit me up with a friend request. If nothing else, holding each other accountable for logging and encouraging.

I lost 20 pounds with MFP and had a very similar starting weight (186). I have a little under 10 pounds left before I'm in the "healthy" range for my height (5'7"), but I'm not sure yet what my final goal will be. Just sent you a friend request.

Gracias a todos! Thanks everyone! I am ready to do this!!!
