Needing some virtual friend help here.... :)

Well, I'm getting on the bandwagon. The scale showed me a # I've never seen before. 200# Yikes. I only have 1 friend who is trying to loose weight, and I think that the more "friends" you have to share ideas with and encourage, the better. I need some virtual friends!!

    Welcome to MFP! You are welcome to friend request me. I too have few close friends in real life who are waging the war with their waistlines at this time, so it's great to have virtual friends who "get it" and offer tons of encouragement (and a few of them even an occasional kick in the booty where needed!). My food diary is open for friends to review, and I would suggest you consider doing the same. It just offers a little level of accountability that really helps me. And as I told a new person earlier. Log everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. Nobody's gonna judge you and you might find yourself less likely to eat something naughty if you know all your friends are looking at it. Best of luck! You can do this!

    Hi, my name is Kimberlee, 49. I am at 200 and am trying to get down to 150. Having a group of friends can really be helpful. Please feel free to add me.
