Hi. I've been on (and off!) MFP for a while so I'm venturing into the message board world and looking for a few friends to help keep up the motivation. Anyone looking to loose a similar 20-40 pounds? Love to be your friend!

    Hi
    Just start last week and lost one big pound and gain tonnes of control but food tracking. I'm mom 37y/o of 2 young kids 5 and 1, looking to lose 20 pounds. I'm would love some friend to share idea for meal and support. PS: I will eat about 2000-2100 cal per day for the next three week to see if I can loose weight without starving. Add me if you want, I will update my profile when I figure out how to download a picture :)

    I'm a 37 year old mom of 3 and looking to lose 35 more pounds. In the past 40 days, I've given up soft drinks and majorly changed the way I eat. Send me a FR and we can cheer each other on!

    oooh - pick me! pick me! (even if i'm one year past your age range request but i feel younger if that counts for anything.) I'm 46, mom of three teenaged boys, 8 pounds down and another 20 to go. i log on daily usually, but i'm about to head into the mountains for a week of hiking, rafting, and caving - definitely off the grid. i've been at mfp about a month and love it.

    i'm sending you a friend request.

    35 years old here with 3 kids - 7, 5 and 3. I'm looking to lose 35 pounds. That would put me right around my pre-pregnancy weight with my first. I've done a major overhaul with my eating and it feels great. I was never much into sodas or sweets, but I'm a snacker on salty things. That, and I love my red wine! I've been at this for a few weeks now and I started Insanity this week (holy h*ll it's hard). I'm also doing the August no alcohol challenge on one of the boards. I find if I set random and arbitrary goals for myself, it's hard to stick to them. If I'm in there with other people, we hold each other accountable.

    Anyone can feel free to add me too. The more the merrier!! Let's do this!

    Hi, I'm a mom of 5 (ages 27, 26, 24, 23 and 16) with two grandkids (2 and 4) living with us too. Never a dull moment! I'm not monitoring the pounds, my goal is a body fat goal of 18%. Currently I'm at 28% and it's a struggle to lose it.

    I've challenged myself to walk 8,000 steps a day each day during the month of August. This will be really hard for me as I work two desk jobs (8:30-5 and 5:15-10:30) with an hour commute each way.

    Anyone can friend request me - put a message in the request :smile: Come join me on 8k steps a day for August!

    36 year old here, and 4 kids ages 11, 8,8, and 10 months. Two boys and twin girls in the middle! :wink:

    I've been with MFP now for 6 months and am doing really well and feeling really accomplished. I've been trying to lose the baby weight I gained 12 years ago. Now that our family is complete I'm concentrating on a healthy momma. Since the latest addition to our family was born 10 months ago, I've lost 54 lbs!

    I'm currently in a group of a few friends doing Jillian Michales 30 day shred, on day 20 of that to bulid up my cardio!
    I just finished my 3rd 5K and am thinking about a 10K this fall.

    I've reached my goal of my pre-pregnancy weight (from 12 years ago! wahooo!) But I am aiming for about 15 more lbs to go.

    I am always looking for more motivational friends, so please feel free to add me!
