    Hi, signed up here this week, have been using endomondo for tracking my long walks and fitbit for keeping me motivated for daily steps. I heard this was a great site and the food tracking section was one of the best. I have not been disappointing so far.

    I turn 49 in a few weeks, am married with three children and one grandson. Feel free to add me.

    I am looking to lose at least 20 pounds. I started MFP about 2 weeks ago and am very consistent about it. I am determined to lose the weight. I honestly don't know how to lose weight because it's never been a major issue. Since I turned 30 I have just been putting on weight every year, and it's gotten really bad the past few years. I have never really been consistent about my food intake and exercise, but these days I am determined to get the weight off. I would love to have any encouragement and to find out if my meals are conducive to losing weight. Please add me as a friend if you would like.

    I joined here months and months ago, but didn't know how to find and make friends here, so my motivation disappeared pretty quickly. I hope that adding some new friends would some good motivation to keep going cause sometimes, I just need someone to give me a kick in the pants! I hope you gain some friends soon!

    Please feel free to add me as well. :) I've tried MFP a couple times, but I think what I was missing was the community to help keep me motivated and on track.

    Please feel free to add me! I started MFP before but only used it to track my calories/exercise. I love meeting new people and experiencing ups and downs with everyone!!!

    I am sure this has been asked multiple times, but, how do I add friends? I just joined today but know that having friends will help me stay accountable.

    HI, My name is Tania.
    I new to this whole site and to the idea of tracking my weight with people..I just have to say, depression can do a lot to ones body.. Im excited about this new road I'm travelling down, and I cant wait to reach my goals. I recently came out to my family, and some of the stress from hiding it is gone. I just want to be happy and healthy and make friends along the way.

    Be my friend! Be my friend!

    I'm staring down a goal of 50 lbs, which looks a heck of a lot more doable with other people involved :)

    Please anyone feel free to add me :). I am not always loyal to my goals, and would love some friends to hold me accountable to myself...and them ! I have all of 30 lbs to lose right now and while that is not much to a lot of people, it seems pretty daunting to me.

    Feel free to add me.

    Due to the fact that I've been recently deleted from someone's friend list because I didn't meet their "requirements" here is my disclaimer to you:

    I try to log daily. But life sometimes gets busy so therefore I might skip a day or two. It does NOT mean I'm not interested in my weightloss journey.

    I DON'T reply to every single friggin status that a friend posts. If that's something YOU do, then fine...that's your choice but I do most, if not ALL, of my internet on my iPhone and for me, it's too hard to keep finding where I left off on the wall feed. (THIS is the reason this person booted me...I wasn't commenting on their statuses).

    With the above being said, I still see my friends' statuses and I see the great job everyone is doing. And I see your struggles too. Just because I don't reply to 20 status updates a day, doesn't mean I'm any less supportive of your goals.

    There...now that I've said my disclaimer, if you STILL want to add me, please feel free to do so. Also, I don't "require" a message...just add me :)

    I've just joined today with high hopes for myself. It's wonderful reading all of the posts from new and continuing member's. My life is very busy, working full time, taking care of a terminally ill mother (lives with me) and taking care of a teenage son. I hope to be able to make this commitment to myself and to offer support to other's as time permits me.
    Any help is appreciated, any word kindly accepted.
    Thank you in advance and thank you for the uplifting comments to other's I've read in this thread.

    Yep add me!

    I started worrying about my weight and health a year ago after my lil' sis told me I was getting podgey in the middle.. I laughed at her because she was pregnant at the time :D

    But then I took a photo of myself and saw what she saw lol.
    Since then I've been on and off exercising but not really worrying about nutrition.

    Stumbled on this site through the app when I was looking for some way to track my waist measurements - what an awesome site + app!!
