Hi all! I'm Kellie, I'm 23 and I've been on MFP for a month or so. I've always been really secretive about wanting to lose weight (as though letting people see and know that I'm trying would make them think less of me? I don't know why I do this!) and having friends on MFP has opened up a whole word of support that I've never been able to access IRL. I'm looking for some new friends to support and be supported by!

    Hey Kellie, I'm Tina, 24, and been on MFP actively for a couple of months. I love the support system I have built on here, and it's been a godsend through tough times. Feel free to add me :)

    I'm in! I've been with Mfp off and on for awhile, but more off than on recently. Looking to get serious tho, and an online friend would be great!

    Hello Kellie, congrats on your weigh loss so far. I recently joined up so just trying to stick with it so that I can get good results as well. I need all the support I can get:smile:

    I launched a blog on Facebook tonight too... I'm just an everyday Aussie girl, but MFP helped me to lose lots of weight, so I thought I'd blog about my experiences. If you're want to check it out it's at https://www.facebook.com/Beingthisgirl

    I cannot rave enough about how much My Fitness Pal has taught me!!!

    Hey honey! I've got a TON of weight to lose and know exactly what you mean about being secretive about it. I've been that way for most of my life since it has been a lifelong struggle for me! Once I "came out" of my weightloss secrecy, I've found that there are SO MANY people looking for support and have the same struggles that I do. Please feel free to add me as well! I love the support and am on here everyday. :-)

    We can be support friends! I used to be secretive about my weight loss, but recently I've just learned to not care. I am what I am and I'm okay with that-- embarrassment be damned! ;) Either way, I would love to cheer you on. Add me if you feel like it!

    Hey Kellie! I just signed up Monday and have had some reality slapped into me. I can' believe I actually thought I wasn't eating so bad since I'm such a picky eater. Go on and add me as I continue my process to get where I was pre-spouse ;-)
