Hi. I'm Angela, 43, living in North Carolina, US. I have been a member of this site for a while but haven't been very serious about this until now. While I can't stop the aging process I can stop this weight gaining thing I've got going on!! I would love to lose 100 lbs before my son's graduation next year. We will see. I am sure that isn't a reasonable goal but it will inspire me to work harder. Would love some friends. Would even consider email/text buddies as well (for extra motivation). Good luck to everyone and feel free to add or email me.

    Ditto Angela!!! My story is almost the same. Been a member for 11 months. Just got serious 2 weeks ago today. Had a health scare about a month ago. Lets just say it opened up my eyes. I am 40 years old and have 2 sons. Looking for encouragement and motivation too. Friend request sent!!

    Hi. I too was on here about a year ago, hit a plateau and then quit. I'm back now and more motivated and serious and can happily say that I am now below 200....I've not seen that in at least 10 years! There is great support here. Welcome and goof luck!

    100 pounds in 1 year is very do-able
    You have to really want it. ( I did it in 8 months, my goal was 7 months)
    When I felt like giving in I just told myself stay on target 7 months is nothing!
    By the way I am 60 years old and never felt better in my life!

    I'm looking for friends to help along the way as well. I've been a member for a long time, but never really used it. Time to get serious. I want to lose close to 100 pounds. And wow, is that scary. But I can't do it alone, as I'm finding out. Please add me, I'd love to give and get some support!

    I really started this journey about 2 1/2 month ago when I stopped making excuses, and finally got myself into the gym....then I started really watching wahat I was eating, and now about 2 weeks ago signed up for MFP - I log daily, and am very committed to this journey! Have lost 15lbs, and have about 70 more to lose to get to my recommended weight. Always looking to have supporting buddies on here, and I LOVE competition it helps to motivste me to push myself further than I thought I could. If anyone is interested please add me!

    Feel free to add me. I have been on here for about 3 months. A great way to keep up with what you eat and exercise. I have lost 43 lbs. with 37 more to go. Well maybe 38 just so I can say I am under 200. Welcome aboard and good luck. One day at a time one meal at a time.

    you can add me if you like. I'm going to lose 180 lbs. I'm 25% of the way there and that took me 4 months. I'm hoping to be at least 75% of the way there by the time I get married in 10 months. Once I get my dress (by May or June at the latest for my Aug wedding) my weightloss will have to slow down so I don't have to alter much. So I'm working my butt off to lose as much as I can before then!
