in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone,

I joined MFP yesterday and don't have anyone to help motivate me. I'm 19 and at University, but my housemates and a lot of my friends are all generally blessed with having fast metabolisms so eat whatever they want! So whilst they're around me eating massive plates of food containing chips and greasy foods and I'm there eating grilled chicken and salads! :(

I'm trying to lose just under 50lbs. I lost 22 already but put a few cheeky lbs back on when I went on an all inclusive holiday, so now I've lost 16 with 48 to go!

I'd love to read weight loss blogs, see pictures and diet logs as well as offer motivation, encouragement and support - and hopefully have some friends on here that will do the same! Anyone???

    I NEED HELP TOO! We have a slight age difference, but I don't think that matters a bit! Let's help each other! :happy:

    Hi there I would be happy to help motivate you - I actually posted something similar myself yesterday about needing diet buddies and had a great response, but even in one day it has helped enormously to hear other people's stories and know they are there for support.

    So feel free to friend me, and I'll help you where I can :-)

    Oh don't worry, I'm not phased by an age difference! As I see it, weight loss is weight loss - wanting to change your image and be healthy for the better shouldn't have an age restriction on it! :)

    Feel free to add me! I was in a similar situation with my weight loss, I was living at University and my 3 apartment-mates ate whatever they wanted, but I pushed through it :) I'd love to encourage you as you do the same thing! You've got this!! The results are SO worth it :)
