I have had an account on MFP for a couple years now but, I did not start using it religiously until about 1 1/2 months ago. With sore feet and knees, and a list of potential health issues starting to pile up I decided to do something about it. I have been losing weight and eating better but I am needing some motivating friends to help push me closer to my goal weight.

    Hey there! I'm just getting serious about this site now, I used it last year and did well. Then, a list of excuses later, here I am again. Sending a request : )

    I've been on MFP for a couple years myself, and haven't had a lot of success. I'm hoping that having some weight loss buddies for motivation will motivate me to work harder at this. I'll add you. :)

    Thanks to everyone who has added me so far. Looks like some of you have had a similar path, like mine. I can't wait to continue this with a support system. That is the one thing I am lacking now.

    Hi I'm Trisha and a newbe I did start a month or two ago then lost all interest while dealing with my beloved cat Dallas as he went through cancer and finally I had to have him put to sleep this knocked me off balance and broke my heart and I am finding it hard to get back into looking after myself better. It seems trivial in comparison to my Dallas and his death. I do have other cats and its for them I want to be fitter and healthier.

    Hey Peoplesssss!!!!!!!!!
    I use mfp off and on. Now im getting more into it and all its capabilities. I am definitely looking for fitness friends that are similar to the journey of a lifestyle change. Cause this is not easy especially when you have spent years practicing bad habits. So far I'm ok but I feel myself hitting a weak wall and I don't want to get there cause usually when I get there I stay there and pick back up with a unhealthy lifestyle.

    So add me as a friend and let be inspired by each others struggle!!!!!! I look forward to making like-minded friends.
