Add eachother for support?

Hi. I'm Val. I joined MFP a while back but only within the last week or so started logging my diary faithfully. A friend of mine lost 57 lbs. since November by counting calories and that inspired me to get back on track. I'm a candidate for knee replacement and am 50 lbs. overweight. I'm trying to lose weight before the surgery so my post recovery will be a little easier. I'm still learning my way around this site and enjoy reading everyone's posts for motivation and inspiration. No friends yet (

Feel free to add me. I have lost approximately 50 lbs and need to lose 70 more.

HI I'm Jason I just joined MFP and i'm looking to lose at least 100lb, support and motivation is so important when trying to take on this challenge. It's far to easy to fall off the wagon and say i'll do it tomorrow when really today is what matters... Looking for any and all supporters to help me stay on track !

I am 22 years old, 6'0" tall, 208lbs, Asian male looking to lose around 30+ pounds. Is there anyone else out there like me that would like to add me? Preferably living in the NYC area. If anyone else that want to add me, you are also welcomed to add me.

Hello!

I am 22 and from Scotland. I have always been the type of person to say 'oh i want to lose this, eat healthy etc' but i am always too weak when it comes to certain foods. Anything cake related is my downfall - i love to bake so it can really take over your life when you are constantly trying out new baking recipes - and of course eating them.

Enough is enough - i NEED to do this. I am graduating next year and will hopefully begin my life career, i want to travel and do so many different things. I lack confidence sometimes and i feel by changing my outside i will change my inside too. I am always the quiet one and i want this to change - it is a new healthy lifestyle for my mind and body.

I am looking for people to share tasty snacks and recipes with, new fitness tips and everything in-between! I can be there to listen or rant to and hopefully we can all just motivate each other as we are all aiming for the same things more or less.

I also LOVE animals!

Talk soon,

- Laura

I like this idea..^_^... Hi! My name is Anndrea but rather be called Drea, I'm 26 and I've lost 23lbs so far and need to lose 20 more. I have health problems that are in need for me to be skinny, and it is so hard to do. I live in North Carolina and would really like to have some friends to encourage and to be encouraged. I suck at working out but I've been eating healthy so I've lost a lot of weight but now I need to do the work to tone. I have two beautiful children and an awesome husband, who by the way can eat a whole box of doughnuts and not gain an ounce, I look at them and I gain weight. I hope you guys still continue this crazy hard journey and I wish you the best of luck!!!

Hey All,

Hi,

My name is Sarah and I am 31. I am looking to loose 20-25 pounds (I am currently 151, aiming for 130-135). Mostly I am hoping to regain the strength and energy that I lost as the weight crept on. Friends are welcome

Hey! I'm Shannel from Pa. Just joined and just started a weight loss program (again). I'm going to be trying things a bit different this time. Like setting short term goals. My first is to loose 25lbs. and be able to "stoop" and stand without pulling myself up. I really don't like to talk about myself too much, so this is it for now.

Hi, my name is Leah. I picked this app on my phone last week and so far I love it. I would like to lose 40-50lbs and get into better shape. It is so easy to enter items in the diary your food and exercise. I like the feedback that shows how much fat, carbs, protein, sugar etc that you are eating throughout the day. Although I feel I ate healthy before, I am eating healthier now and I am trying to take on the attitude on how I want to fuel my body vs just eating food because it tastes good. I'd like to be able to go to my annual physical exam with better numbers weight, lipid and blood pressure wise. My vitamin D levels have been low for the last 9 months and from what I have read, being overweight contributes to that.

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I've been using this app for about a month and have lost 5 pounds so far. I could use encouragement and support from other people trying to get fit. At my highest, I weighed 245 pounds, but now I'm down to 233. I would like to get to 150 or lower for health reasons. I am a physical therapist assistant who used to be a veterinary technician. I don't have problems working out, but I do have problems not over-eating. Hope everyone is trying to get healthy!! :happy:

hi, Im Tracy and i am deffo up for making some new friends too, my diary is public i am following Atkins but i have previously done weight watchers, i did try slimming world but it wasn't for me the only one that i feel good on and suits me is the Atkins diet.

i am quite new to this site and still learning, so far i have lost 4 stone, thats english and i am sorry i am not sure what it is in lbs maths was never my strongest subject or i would just convert it in my head for yu... oh well, i still have a way to go tho, i would say i am about halfway ish through my overall weight loss plan, so going to need all the encouragement and support i can get.

hoping to be joining some fitness classes soon, going to try pilates, i used to go to the gym but i have a bad back at the mo and so have had to stop that.
