Looking for friends close to their goal or on maintenance

Hello!
I'm really loving this site! I'm down almost 20 pounds and I have about 6 more or so to go. I would love to add some more friends who are close to their goal or on maintenance. I work out most days and am trying my best to eat clean, but I do have an occasional treat and/or cocktail.

I am married and have two children, 6 and 3. I can be a great motivator. Can you!?
Thanks for reading!
Robyn

    Hey! I'm down like 25 lb currently. I had lost another like 10 lb, but then gained that with a health thing. So I need to re-lose those 10 and maybe another 5 but I like the way I look now, so I am going slow and I'm actually fine not losing weight if it doesn't happen.

    I've lost 18lbs and would like to gain some muscle. And I love to eat. You can look at my diary, not into hunger. Add me if you would like.

    I'm down 77lbs and actually 2lbs below my GW. I'm planning to lose a bit more (not sure how much - I'm re-evaluating every 5 lbs.) so I guess I'm at the crossroad of losing and maintaining. :)

    I'd love to be a friend. I'm down to 121 and have 9lbs to go. I would like to lose this 9 lbs once and forever. I'm almost 47 but definitely don't feel like a 47 year old. I have 1 child. I'll send a friend request. :)

    Feel free to add me! I'd like to lose a few pounds and/or tone up at this point. My diary is open for friends, I try and stay active, and I log daily. I'm always looking for friends for motivation and encouragement!

    Hi! I'm down 13 lbs (actually a little more, but official weigh in is tomorrow!) and nearing my goal. I think I'm around 5-6 lbs away (TBD), so I'll be switching over to maintenance soon. I'm 38, no kids. Feel free to add me!

    I'm currently in maintenance, and have been for several months now. Considering a recomp in a few weeks. Feel free to add - just leave a message letting me know why, so I can accept requests! :smile:

    I'm down 101 at the moment with 14 more to go, which is slow going because I'm inching toward teaching myself maintenance techniques. I love friends! :)

    I have 4 children, all grown up with two still at home transitioning to adulthood. I'm on every day!

    Welcome! Those last few pounds are tough! I lost the first 8 over one year and the next 21 on this site. Am now trying to lose another 14. Maybe more,maybe less. We'll see.

    I am training for my second half marathon in Jan. and also circuit train.

    Feel free to add me.

    I lost around 25 lbs. originally although have gained back about 10 when I stopped exercising regularly and watching the snacking. Am back to being motivated and want to lose around 8lbs. - this time not looking to cut back on calories so much as kick my exercise up a notch. Would love to have some motivational friends in the same place!

    Eh, hit kind of a plateau - down about 16 lbs in 8 weeks then nothing for the past 3. I'm just happy to be maintaining!! Especially since I like an occasional adult beverage as well! :drinker:

    Thanks for all of the support, motivation and friend requests, all! If you sent me a request, I accepted it. I sent a few out to those of you telling me to add, but apparently you are only allowed to add 5 people every 10 minutes, so if I missed you, please feel free to send a request and I will happily support and accept support along the way.

    Here's to being healthy and strong!
