in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! I'm Rachael, from NJ and I have been on here for almost 8 weeks now. I have made some pretty awesome friends, but would like to have more. I am really looking for people that are like me and have a long way to go to reach their goal for daily motivation. It doesnt so much bother me if your diary is closed, as long as you are willing to give the motivation I need, especially on days when I'm not feeling it. I also do the same thing :)

Gender not important to me--just be supportive and non-judgmental!

Look forward to meeting you all!!! Thanks

Rachael

    HI! I am Jana from Oregon. My goal is too lose about 30 lbs. We have lots of walking paths here, but it rains a lot. Summer will be much better. Food is my major issue. I used to have a very fast metabalism but it has slowed down over the past 10 years and the lbs have crept up. So I guess I will see if this works!!

    I'd like to be included on your friends list. I've got about 35 lbs to lose before I set my next goal of 20 lbs more to go. I felt it would be better to set a goal that might (maybe, I hope) be attainable. For me, setting my end goal to 55 lbs would be too discouraging, like it's so far I would never make it. I've had this weight on me for SO many years, sometimes I feel it will never go away. But then I look at others and see their wonderful progress and feel there may be hope for me after all. Having encouragement from others would be awesome! In the 12 days I've been on this, I've only lost 2.5 lbs. I was hoping to lose 2 lbs per week. But, I'm in this for the long haul - I want to keep OFF any weight I lose!

    I'll definitely add you! I definitely need motivation from as many people as possible! :/ I'd been off here for over 2 weeks, and it took for a mfp friend to bring me back! :/

    And to everyone else; PLEASE feel free to add me! :)

    Hi Rachel, you look so friendly and I'm new here and nervous and would also like a "friend." I don't even know what you mean by "closed diary" and adding people. I have a lot to learn. I'm looking for support also and maybe a little help learning about this site. Good luck to you. Donna

    Feel free to add me. I am a newbie and trying to lose 20 lbs. Always need encouragement and motivation. I hope I can do the same for you. Hang in there, you will accompolish your goal! I tell myself that one pound of fat is 4 sticks of butter. Helps me to visualize what I am really losing and seems to motivate me.
