Hi everyone!

I've just joined MFP for the second time - first time around I did well, lost 100lbs or so (105 I think it might have been) but I fell off the band waggon. My fault, no interesting reasons as to why.

I'd love some friends on here to encourage, and to encourage me. I love a challenge and I never fail when I set my mind to something, but I do take a little longer than I planned sometimes!

So, I have 44lbs to lose. I don't have a deadline but I do need to get a move on. I feel bad that I gained some of my weight back and I never met my goal weight, but I'm confident that I can get this in hand.

My plans: I'm starting the 30DS today (I'm about to take my measurements, eek!), and I also used to love the New York Ballet workout (though I was always terrible at it). I like my cross trainer a lot, too, particularly when the music is LOUD.

I'm also working on NaNoWriMo (writing a 50 000 word novel in November). I've managed it twice before, and the third time around it's going.... well, I'm ahead of my goal, but inspiration is a touch tricky. Hoping a long walk will get some ideas flowing!

So, well, if you want a new friend do add me. I'm looking forward to starting this new phase and finally getting to my goal weight, and it would be grand to share my experiences :)

    Welcome to MFP. I use the web-site every day to record food and exercise. I've found it a valuable way to monitor my calories and help weight loss.

    Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me.

    Please add me too, I think it's amazing that you have lost 100lbs... You did it once you can do it again

    Good that you are back, the accountability here with friends is probably the biggest asset of this site. I lost 50 pounds, which is all I needed to lose, but I did put about 15 back on I'd like to lose maybe 10 of that again. But I keep coming here for encouragement and also to encourage others, and for the friendships I've made. Even though I'm mostly in maintenance mode coming here still makes it feel like my efforts are being noticed, because in my real life everyone just now expects me to be this way, as opposed to here with the continual encouragement.

    I am here also. I have done this one other time but this time I have been at it since February 2011. I am slow at losing but so far I have lost 31 lbs. I am drinking ViSalus and love it. It has made a difference for me. I have another 20 lbs to go to my goal weight. Lets all do this together.

    I've only been on for 6 days, but this has quickly become an obsession. I would love to have some people to talk to about losing weight (especially someone who has already been so successful), so I will definitely add you.

    Feel free to add me. Most of the people I know that are on here are not "regular users" and I find that there are times when I go off the rails, so with other people keeping an eye on me, maybe I will be able to hold fast.

    Hi, I'm new too. I started on Monday and have no friends, but would like some. I tried the 30DS before and it was too hard. I started Chalean Extreme on Monday and so far I like it better.

    Andrew's my name, in my 2nd week of MFP.

    Like yourself I have been big before lost the lot and let it get back
    or should I say I put it back on. I have 80 lbs to shake so lets knock
    them off together.
