Hi everyone, I'm Allie. I joined MFP yesterday, but I'm no stranger to the weight loss success and failures. I've lost 91 pounds in the past, but gained it all back and then some. I have huge goals of losing 180 pounds, but I feel like I'm finally in the right place to push through and make it happen.

I'd love to meet some people that are on the same path as me and maybe form the support team that I know that I need and am now brave enough to ask for.

I'm also a good listener so add me if you'd like!

    Hello,

    Same boat. Struggling to keep weight off, finding success and then failing. Its hard. But with enough support and drive I believe that you can reach the you, you want to be. I'm willing to be a friendly support, because everyone one needs a cheer team. :wink:

    Welcome! Ive been here 3 days . That is a huge goal. I only have 31lbs to lose. Im sure if youve lost so much before you can do it again, it sounds liek the maintanance will be harder for you.
    Check out some of the groups under 'community' then 'groups' then 'browse' they may be able to give you extra support, with like minded people.

    Hi, been here awhile and learning the tricks and how many calories you can eat is important. I am doing better since I remember to log in daily. I need to lose about 80 lbs too.

    Motivation is the key! We can do this and if you want to friend me let me know.

    for anyone who has a lot of weight to lose, I started a support group today for losing 100 lbs! yall can join if you'd like. I don't think anyone is a trained professional but it's just for extra motivation.
