Well I am looking for some people that I can encourage and can encourage me to keep it up. I have no one up here in Alaska to help me and my hubby is a bean pole -.- so if you want a friend please invite me :)

    Everyone in my family (except for one of my sisters and myself) are obese. I am overweight and she is at a healthy range. She lives almost an hour away and is busy with work and 2 kids so I'm pretty much in it alone too.

    I live in Alaska atm and all my family is in Oklahoma freinds too. I havent made any here yet so I am feeling alone. My husband is loving but not particularly helpful being he can eat whatever he wants and thinks I should eat what he is eating lol ( I am serious he stuffs tuff in my mouth we had to have a serious talk lol)

    I'll add you. Your bean pole comment made me laugh. My husband is the same way. Always skinny no matter what he does. I am so lucky he is super supportive! He does most of the cooking and I only have to occasionally remind him of my diet restrictions.

    You can add me as a friend if you like. I know what it feels like to be alone also.

    I added you :) Mfp is my support system for the most part- there's always constant encouragement from my friends on here. My boyfriend and his family are incredibly helpful, but they get sick of hearing me talk diet/fitness all the time :)

    I've added you as a friend. I have been going it alone as well and have hit a wall and could really use some encouragement. I'm leaving on a cruise in 101 days and would really like to loose 50lbs.

    Hi All! I just signed up, have not got into very seriously just yet but I'm about the flip the switch. I'm getting married in a year and I need to shape up!! Need some fit, healthy supportive friends!!

    I'm a very active woman about to turn 30 and I'm a little tubby due to my healthy appetite and love for sweets! Darn ice cream ruined me this summer :-) But I did do Tough Mudder and I rode in a 70 mile bike race, so I earned those cones. Looking for active ppl like me who need a kick in the butt on diet. :-)
