All my MFP friends are skinny!!

Hi there! I've been doing MFP for a Few months and I've lost about 16lbs. But I still have a lot to lose!! I'm 178lbs and 5'4" so still have a long way to go. I've just set my goal on here as high so I can do it a step at a time. i.e every time I reach a goal weight I can lower it to the next goal weight until I feel comfortable with myself. I love love love all my wonderful MFP friends on here and they are always so supportive and amazing! But I feel like many of them are towards the end of their journeys or just need to lose a little and all their profile pictures look like modelling portfolios!! I am so proud of then all but I feel I need a few friends who are at the same stage of their journey as me and at a similar height and weight ratio to me. So if there's anyone out there who feels they are similar to me please add me as a friend. I promise to support you as best I can and hope you can do the same. :)

    I'm so sorry if I've made you feel bad in anyway, ok, so I'm almost at my goal weight, but I still feel I've a long way to go in terms of fitness.

    You have been one of my best MFP friends, your support is amazing, I can't imagine doing this without you!

    I really hope people respond to your request, for all reading this, this is one lovely, lovely lady who will give you support and make you smile when you need it. ADD HER!!! :drinker:

    |I went from 300 to 269 before mfp. Since then I'm now at 209 but am aiming for 135-150 so I have a ton to lose still.
    I'll send you a friend request. Accept if you like. I'm on here all the time because without this site I'd still be struggling in the upper 200's
  • Awww Sandra bless your heart you're so sweet! And no no no you haven't made me feel bad at all!! It's not that it's just I thought it would be good for me to have people at the same stage as me as well as all those who have done so well and are there as inspiration and motivation! Like you! :) you look amazing and are such a great role model!!! Luv u loads xxxx

    And hello pamperedlinny thanks so much for replying I have accepted your request and glad to have you on my friends list :) also well done for losing all the weight you've lost already that's fantastic!! :) xx

    I agree with Sandra, your a great friend on here......but I am no where near my goal and being only 5ft3, every where I look says I should be about 8 and a half stone, which I would never be.

    We can do this Roma xxx
