I'm a new MFP user and would like some friends to help me lose weight! I'm 5'3" and weigh 236lbs. I'd like to lose almost 100 pounds. I just had a baby 2 months ago and am about to go back to work...I'm definitely going to need support! Help!

    You can add me if you like! I have about 90 lbs to lose and have found tracking very useful so far. Haven't had the results I'd like but I know I'm eating better and I'm optimistic about the future.

    I'm new here also, so add me as a friend and let's support each other.
    I'm 5'4"(barely) and weigh 225. I had lost 65lbs. and then in October 2011 I suffered a loss that sent me into a depression and just when I was starting to heal my mother passed away suddenly and the cycle started over again. I'm hoping to lose atleast 20lbs. by January 1, 2013.

    Hey. I'm almost in the exact same boat as you. I am 5'2" and 237. I had lost 70 lbs quite a few years ago and kept it off for a few years, then my father passed away suddenly and I gained 80 lbs. back. 18 months later my sole remaining grandparent passed away unexpectedly, and I gained another 30 lbs. I have tried to lose weight without tracking (did it the first time by tracking everything) but to no avail. I am ready to recommit to a healthier me. I am determined to change my lifestyle instead of just dieting. I would love to be friends and support you through your journey.

    Feel free to add me if you'd like! :flowerforyou: I have at least 80 to lose so we could tackle this journey together!

    I've done MFP before and been successful. Medical reasons and stress caused me to put the weight back on. The support you will find here is amazing!

    Hi! Congrats on the baby! I am 5'3 and at my heaviest weighed 230lbs, so we're practically twins! I've lost 60 lbs, the first 40 was fast, and the last 20 is more steady. It's a crazy, exciting, exhausting, but do-able journey! I'll send you a friend's request. We can do it!!! I also hope to get down to 235 lbs. We'll encourage each other :)
