Hi, I just filled in the match form so fingers crossed I will have some success and find a buddy
I'm a full time university student, studying to be a primary (elementary) school teacher... My goal is to get back to the weight I was when I was at my peak fitness when I used to dance, do gymnastics and athletics... for the moment I am boxing and running, but I have found a new gym (gymnastics gym lol) to join when I feel like I am up for that again not sure what else to put

Im Pam im 29 and trying to get fit for the big 3-0 in april. I live in Northwest arkansas. I have 2 lil girls 2 and 4. I am trying to lose about 65 lbs or so. Good luck everyone!

My name is Rachel. I started MFP a week ago. Before MFP I tried doing the diet thing on my own and it was a drag, I just couldn't figure it out I guess. I weighed 175 and managed 5lbs on my own. (Wooh!) But hopefully with MFP I'll be able to loose more weight especially if i have a buddy to help motivate me! :)I'm 22 years old, 5'6-ish ,170lb ,size 14 jeans, and XL shirt. My first goal is to get down to a normal BMI. That means losing 15 lbs. The next goal I have is to lose another 15-20lbs. I'll never be a "skinny" girl, my hips are far too wide for that and I'd look bizarre. I just want to be at a healthy weight and maintain it. I can't wait to find my buddy!

My name is Kristy and I started MFP waaay back in February [2012], (although I didn't start using MFP regularly until this summer after I got my sister to join). It took a little while for me to figure some things out (my biggest problem being that on the day's I did not work I was only eating once a day: either too little calories or too many). So my first challenge was to eat regularly and hit my calorie goal.

One of the factors that led to my OMG I weigh that much!?!? is that I have plantar fasciitus and heel spurs in both feet. I've finally gotten the pain under control so I will be starting to use my treadmill in the next few days. My next big goal is to start using the gym membership I've already been paying for, and hopefully start going in December of this year.

A few years ago I lost about 40lbs by counting calories and by working out regularly. But I hit a plateau and my frustration got the better of me. I found MFP when I was browsing apps on my Kindle fire and as it helped me keep track of my calories as I'd done in the past I was ecstatic. I had no idea this community existed until my sister joined and told me about it. I hope that by joining in and finding some friends if/when I hit another plateau I can find the motivation to keep going.

Hi guys...
I think I'm a little late addition here, but I fell of the wagon of MFP for about two months and I'm back!

I'm 21 years old. 5'4. and a ridiculously large 245 lbs. I carry most of my weight in my face, belly, and boobs- I'm a 42 EE.

Really need someone who is close to me in size and stature to help push, because nobody understands how much pain your back and knees have when your chest is this big...and running is pure hell.

Hi, I'm mentally ill, 20 years old and I joined this site when I weight 175lbs, now I'm like 200lbs or something. EPIC FAIL.

Hi, my name is Iride but u guys can call me Dide or E. I'll be 28 in 2 months. I'm a CNA/Full time student. At my biggest I was 226lbs I'm now 186. I've been up n down this whole year between 165-190. I'm doing this for me. I'm trying to get healthy n fit for myself. It's not fun paying extra for the plus size clothes. Nor is this belly showing when I wear dresses or certain clothes. I'm trying to find a gym buddy/ motivational buddy. It's hard for me since my close friends are all skinny n I'm the heaviest.

Hi all!

I'm Kate from Queensland, Australia. I'm a 25 year old mum to two boys. Before I was pregnant with my first son, I weighed 58kg (127.8lb). At the time, I thought I was fat, but looking back at photos of myself, I now realise I had an amazing body back then. After really considering where I was happiest, which was at the 60kg (132.2lb) mark, I've decided that's the goal I'm aiming for.

At the moment I weigh 72.9kg (160.7lb) (I'm also 169cm (5'6") tall) and my highest weight was about 79kg (174.1lb), but I was heavily pregnant with my first son at the time. My weight dropped down to 65kg (143.3lb) within about 4 months of having my son, but I still felt fat. None of my old clothes fit me anymore and I couldn't bring myself to throw them all out because I figured I'd fit into them again someday. That was in 2009. Since then, I've thrown almost all of those clothes out because I started believing I'd never fit into them again.

In the beginning of 2011, I decided to do something about my weight as it had crept up to 69kg (152.1lb) and I felt horrible. After about three weeks I'd dropped about 2.5kg (5.5lb), but I then stopped working out and eating healthily because we moved house. I lost my motivation and ended up weighing 75kg (165.3lb) before we moved house again just after my partner and I found out I was pregnant with my second son. I didn't eat overly much during the first 5 months of pregnancy and ended up losing weight, but yet again, the weight crept on after my son was born in June, 2012, and hasn't stopped going up.

So now that it's a new year, I've decided to get my butt into gear and start exercising and watching how much and what I eat. Unfortunately, I'm horrible at trying to stick to a strict diet of fruit, vegetables and lean meat (which seems to be the main focus of most diets), so I'm doing this my own way.

That's about all there is to tell.

hi guys!
im rina 22 years old in nyc. I'm a college student & work at a magazine.
I've always been pretty good with my weight growing up, very athletic until end of high school & it all went downhill.
i gained over 50lb very fast within 1 year after my relationship ended with my boyfriend and now trying to lose the weight! I hate the way i am now, so unhappy and its time for change. my only problem is that i have NO motivation lately, no energy.. it almost hurts. Im currently 172, started at 182 so 10lb down! but i want to go down to 130 - my goal weight.
Im hoping this site / app will give me more motivation to lose the weight I'm dreading!!
please feel free to add me & if anyone fits my description, that would be cool! xoxox
