I've been on here since April and have lost almost 50 pounds. I am a 48 yea old single mom from Iowa with a teenager. I love to run, lift and dare I say it...eat! I could use some pals where we can both encourage each other along the way!

    Hi Sandra. I am Nancy, a 51 year old engineer living and working in Los Angeles. I am married and have a son in college and a daughter in her last year in high school. I am having a hard time getting any kind of momentum going with my weight loss. Lost only 6 pounds so far and the last two of those keep coming back at me. I am not much of a social media person but this is such a lonely journey. Your weight loss is pretty inspiring. Do you run every day? I am hopeless at running but I love to hike.

    Hi Sandra, I am sending my friend request. I am new to the social media and weight management concept but not to the whole weight loss roller coaster. You certainly have achieved some great results and I would love to learn as well share with you.

    Hi, I'm also hoping friends will help keep me motivated. You've lost so much weight already! I'm a mum in my early 40s with younger children. It would be great to get in touch and learn how you've done so well

    Friend request sent. I'm new to the site but battling weight has always been a roller coaster ride. I hope we can encourage and learn from one another!

    Wow! Amazing weight loss! Feel free to add me, I am fairly new to all this, and am enjoying the support of the mfp community. I have two daughters, 7 and 5, and need to lose 20 pounds, problem is I like to eat too much and I am not the world's best exerciser - hopeless in fact! But hoping for change! Anyone else in the same boat, please add me!

    I'm Briana, and I'm 18. I just started today, kinda haha. I've had my account since Jun but never bothered to use it. I'll like some friends who I can talk to for tips/advice/motivation or just basic chit chat. Feel free to add me (:

    Hello ! I am very new on here and have no friends yet. I am in my 20s and looking to lose 15 pounds to start. I just recently finished the couch 2 5k program and i do a little bit of weight lifting but i haven't lost any weight yet because I can't stop eating! I hope tracking my calories will help!
    Please add me so we can help eachother through this journey!
