LOOKING for serious weight loss friends

in Health and Weight Loss
I've been doing this MFP thing for over 6 months now and losing weight for about 11 months. I've tried low carb, high protein and then realized I really like carbs and wouldn't be able to do this for an extended period of time. I've tried calorie cycling, eating more and working through plateaus. I'm not perfect, just looking for some additional support.

I have friends here, but some of my MFP friends don't log in as much as I do or they don't provide feedback.

Let's be clear -- I would like some additional MFP friends that:
- Log in regularly and provide some feedback now and then
- Eat more than 1200 calories
- Understand that with every journey there are ups and downs

If you need some extra support or like to give support, feel free to add me. Otherwise, if you are interested, let me know and I'll add you.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

    I log in daily and share my food diary. I feel like if we share our food diary we can all get ideas from each other and possibly some healthy recipes.

    Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

    I report to my diary just about every single day (and catch up on previous entries when I don't), and I like to check in on these forums.

    I'm not currently on a weight loss phase; I've pretty much hit my (for now) goal weight (from 215 to 143-ish), but I'm trying to make sure I don't rebound, so I'm going to be keeping a close eye on my calories / exercise for at least a couple months, at which point I'll re-evaluate my goals. (Either more weight loss for a lower BF%, or start gaining muscle again).

    If my goals are sufficiently in line with what you're looking for, please add me ^_^

    I think I have clicked onto the right link here. I have been a member for about a week and log on everyday, fill out my food journal everyday and add in my walking daily. I have been wanting to get rid of my excess baggage by eating food (not suplimenting my meals) I believe life is to short to eat bad tasting food. I consume about 1500cal every day and in the last 3 weeks have dropped about 3.7 kg (that's 8 pounds). I will send a request and if you want then you can accept it or not.

    Cheers
    Toni

    Hi, I read your post and thought I'd reply to you because I feel the same way you do. I don't have much support at home or among friends. Some how I have chosen friends that do not have issues with weight or need to diet. They can eat cheetos 24/7 and gain no weight. I can just look at the bag they are eating and gain 5 pounds. Anyways, I would love some support as well but wasn't brave enough to just put it out there as you have. I don't feel like I have much time for anything, I'm a working mom and a full time student. I feel like I have no time for anything but one of the classes I'm taking is fit and well for life and I have learned a ton in this class. The assignment we had this week has motivated me to get back on MFP and start again with keeping track of my food intake and exercise. I'm not sure how much I'll be exercising but I'm going to try to keep on top of the food tracking. If you're still interested in some additional support and new friends, I'm a pretty serious person. I can joke and laugh some but I'm serious about this and I hope that I'll be able to stick with it. I am the type that needs positive reinforcement and I'll probably be like you, seeking others like you and myself for support because those around me just don't get it. Let me know how I can add you or if you want to be friends. I'm still learning all the ins and outs of this program. :happy: Good luck with your weight loss!

    I have three embarrassing questions, first, why do I need to eat more than 1200 calories? When I logged in and registered it told me to eat 1200 calories a day so I am trying to stick to it. Second, what is MRP?
    And finally, if I qualify may I also join in support? 
    Tks

    I am on a high protein diet due to health issues that require it. But I love my carbs, and have learned to fit them into my daily food plan. I try to eat me fruits and veggies, but I do fall short in that area. I am on here everyday and have an open diary. Feel free to add me for support and motivation. My name is Kimberlee, 49.

    You can all add me. I'm new but serious about weight loss. I am logging food everyday. I will show my food diary if I work out how....

    It would be great for some motivation and encouragement on exercise. I am very serious about this at the moment. I am working out with PT twice a week and have started C25K on my own.

    Oh and def eating more than 1200 cals a day.
