Hi My name's Svetlana. I'm 5'9, 222lb, 30yr old with a goal of losing 50lb (to begin with.... ). I've been dabbling in MFP for a while but last week was my first ever completely documented week of calories and exercise. It feels good to start this new journey on a positive note!
I also friended a few people last week and was surprised at how motivating their posts were. I felt a lovely sense of camaraderie and since all of them have lost substantially more than me, a sense of admiration too.
I'd like more friends!! I don't have a preference of where you are, who you are or where you are from... i just would like the support and to be supportive back
Thanking you in advance

Hey Svetlana! I'm Laura, and I too have been dabbling with MFP for a while without really committing. I'm 22, 5'6" and at my highest weight ever at 170. I'm really ready to buckle down and have set my first goal at losing 35 pounds. It sounds daunting, but I'm sure I can do it if I stick with it!
I'm adding you so hopefully we can encourage each other to reach our goals!0 -
Hi Im Angelque, I have been using MFP for over a year. Back in 2009 I weighed almost 260Lbs..I got my self down to 183 last summer and this last year has been hard to maintain. I gained 20 back but since Aug 1st I have really been hitting the gym hard including getting a personal trainer this time. I have a goal of 8lbs and 3% body fat right now......it's hard but it is just a lifesyle change that means 100% commitment all the time. Good Luck0

Hi, I'm not terribly successful (yet) but you remind me of my daughter! She is doing great - she inspires me so I am sure you will too. Glad to be friends.0

Good for you for sticking with it! Congrats on getting back on track!0

hi im laurie, you can add me if you would like0

@lwhite - love your avatar!
@ anyone else - add me too if you want. I started around 205 last year (had been up to 215 before mfp). I lost about 35 in a year, but I also stopped counting calories for the last 4 months (and went back up about 10lb) due to training for a half marathon & being away from home this summer. I'm trying to get back into things & make it to -50lbs total by next January. Just started crossfit tonight. (so don't friend me if you're anti CF)0 -
i like your cat photo - reminds me of my dear (gone) Boo. I think you will do great - wow a half-marathon, that's fantastic!0

I've been here since January! You all can add me if you'd like!0
