    Another "re"-newbie. I seem to use MFP in streaks, but this time (REALLY!) I'm serious about losing this weight. I lost 70 pounds about 15 years ago, but half of it has come back to roost. In all honesty, I could stand to lose about 80 pounds to weigh what I should.

    Anyone feel free to add me. The more support, the better!

    I would love to be friends. I also have to lose about 100 lbs. I have been going on MFP for over a year, but have not been faithful and keep gaining/losing the same 10 lbs. I am running out of excuses. I would love to have friends to help keep me motivated!!

    I have 180 to lose total. I'm always looking for new friends going through the same struggles. I log religiously, even if I don't like what it says.

    I sent you a friend request.

    But anyone else in the boat, feel free to add me. The more friends/supporters/motivators the better!!! :)

    Here's to lurkdom! I joined awhile ago but haven't really logged in as suggested. I love the support available on the site and often find supportive posts helping my own outlook. I lost 50lbs several years ago....I have had setbacks and am restarting my weight loss journey. What worked for me the first time was writing down EVERY THING you eat and drink. And a structured exercise program. Good luck

    Well, I have about 40 to lose to make myself happy. Ideally, I would like to lose 50, but then I would start hearing how I'm too skinny. I was always the skinny kid growing up. In fact, about 7 years ago my Doctor actually had me drinking Boost to try and put some weight on my 125lbs body. Now I'm 190 give or take a few pounds and have been struggling with consistency in my workouts. I think I've done a better job with my eating, but can't seem to put the two together. I feel like I'm always on the go, so when I have free time, the last thing I want to do is exercise and I really need to break away from that mindset. I've finally realized that I can't do it alone, so here I am! :happy:

    Hi, I am fairly new on here too, already lost over 80+ lbs before I joined the site and I still have over 80+ lbs to go. Saw your post about eating very little and still not losing, I was doing this too and had a horrible plateau that lasted over a year! Wrong way to look at food and calories, check out this link...take the time and do the calculations...its on a bodybuilding web page, but it doesn't matter if your doing that kind of working out or not...the principles are the same...http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

    I did the calculations and realized I was eating way to little, your body needs fuel to burn to keep up its metabolic rate, without keeping that burn going, your body starts to slow way down, thinking its in starvation mode and it will hang on to every calorie you take in, keep it burning hot, it speeds up and helps to burn the excess calories/pounds you already have on you! It looks complicated but its worth the effort!

    HI,

    i joined MFP about a year ago and I'm honestly just beginning to use the app. I would love to have new friends to work on this journey with. My 30 year class reunion is in July and I want to look my best as well. Together we can make this happen.

    First off, you are beautiful. I have helped many people lose a lot of weight. It comes with tough accountability but a lot of love. I was a gym owner for over 17 years. Last year I sold it to become a full time health and wellness coach. I am honest and tough while at the same time I am caring and genuine. If you want some great accountability email me at dljohnson222@clear.net.
    Sincerely,
    Debby

    I just started last week and in some fantasy land would love to lose around 100 pounds, but I'm currently aiming for around 60 and would love to befriend any of you so we can share tips, ideas, struggles and the journey with one another :)

    I kickstarted my lifestyle change with a modified juice cleanse. Cutting back to just juices for breakfast and lunch and then a small modified dinner. I tell you; if you are anything like me and have anything resembling a food addiction this was AMAZING for me! Full juice cleanses require so much dedication and I feared the extremely low calorie intakes as well as my blood sugar levels being a border line diabetic but doing it modified seemed worth it. After 3 days; despite the caffeine withdrawals I started to suffer; I felt less hungry, more aware of my body and found making the decision to eat less SO SO SO much easier! Your stomach truly starts to shrink and you are so much more conscience of your choices and when you are full :)

    Good luck!! Please feel free to send friend requests. I survived a week now, but have a lifetime to go and definitely believe friends are the key to motivation :)
