in Introduce Yourself
I'm here to lose weight...maybe get/give some support. Find some helpful people and info. I really don't want to see your body parts...I don't want to be friends with some person who "just has to lose five pounds because this size 4 dress makes me feel fat" or the I'm sexy and I know it so hit me up baby....real people...real goals...real help...anyone?

    Hey there,
    I can never have too many friends and I would be happy to count you among them. It is so nice to have someone to support you and to give heartfelt advice. I sent you a friend request.
    Good luck, :flowerforyou:

    I've lost my weight and use MFP to maintain (and lose when I get a too far out of control once in a while like now). I like to think I'm real. Friend me if you want.

    Real person, real goals, don't know that I know enough to help other than to provide support and encouragement, but happy to share what's worked (and not!) for me.... :happy:

    what makes the people with less weight to lose less "real?" At some point you'll hopefully be someone with 5-10 pounds to lose..will you then no longer be "real?" That's a shame really. Some of the people who are most encouraging and supportive might not be the ones you would define as "real."

    Friends who don't need to say "but a size four is needed to enter the bar"? I'm so in! Can I be your friend too?

    I am a 48 year old woman who has reached my goal weight but struggles daily with food cravings. I was on Atkins for over 5 years but switched to calorie , fiber and protein counting back in December. I also would like to find a few friends on here for support. (Both giving and receiving).

    I struggle daily. The scale probably would want me to lose 50 pounds, but I'm taking baby steps. I want to lose 20 for sure and continue from there. I just started today. I need friends! :happy:

    I need some friends too.....trying to lose 50 lbs that have somehow creeped onto my frame since quitting smoking 20 years ago. Like most men, I have started out great guns but now settling into the 2lbs per week kind of loss. Am frustrated by how quickly most foods I like eat up all my proteins so early in the day. I am not a perv, just another human being trying to enhance his health. alan

    what makes the people with less weight to lose less "real?" At some point you'll hopefully be someone with 5-10 pounds to lose..will you then no longer be "real?" That's a shame really. Some of the people who are most encouraging and supportive might not be the ones you would define as "real."

    THIS. not to mention, those "fake" people obviously know a little more about weight loss than someone just starting.

    Just FYI.. im still one of those that need to lose 60+ pounds.. my profile pic is where i want to be again.

    I've been hesitant to do a friends request post for the very reasons you mentioned.

    Also, I'm losing weight to be healthy, not to "look sexy". As far as helpful info, I can share healthy recipes as I develop 'em. Shoot me a line if you'd like to be friends!

    I'm not sure you're real enough to be friends with me... you know, since I have more to lose than you and everything. Hope that doesn't offend you!

    Count me in! I am a self-professed quitter and have yet to attain my weight loss goals over the last 10 years. 10 pounds is now 20. I literally got stuck in a shirt while trying it on in a dressing room over the weekend and the absurdity of the situation hit me lilke a ton of bricks! I realize that I can't do this alone and hopefully with support and encouragement, we can help each other. I've just joined up again as of yesterday. I'm here to help in any way I can :smile:

    You can add me if you`d like. I lost 50lbs so far but still a bit of distance to get to my goal (about another 60lbs)...I eat pretty clean and I have spent the last three months learning as much as I can about getting as healthy as possible but that road never ends! I want some more friends that are serious about this too, and are in it for the long haul :)....
