Hey, I'm Deserae ¦ 21 years old.
I'm 5'4 and weigh 267lbs.
I'm looking for friends who have similar weight loss goals;
I've tried MFP before and it didn't work but I think its because I wasn't active in the community. The more friends I have and the more support I put into others weight loss journey, the more ill stay on track with mine.

So, friend me? ;)

    Hey Deserae,

    I have more than your requested figure to lose (unfortunately). I have little patience for failure, people don't plan to fail; they fail to plan, if your diary is open to your friends and if you are going to commit to logging every day then send me a friend request.

    I am not the "it's ok there is always tomorrow" kind of friend, I am the "what the heck were you thinking, do you not want to lose weight" kind, so if you are looking for cheerleaders and not sincere critical support then you will be unfriending me rather quickly. Likewise if you log every third day or insist on eating 400 calories to lose weight then I will be unfriending you, as I simply do not wish to devote my time and energy into trying to change someone's way of thinking. I want like minded friends who want to succeed and realize that if they were able to use self restraint and make the correct decisions then they would not be here in the first place. I will support, encourage, and try to be the best friend I can be, all I ask is that you do the same.

    Have a great Thanksgiving!

    Hi Deserae, I'm brand new to MFP and would really like to make things work this time around. I weigh around 247 and am looking to lose about 100 pounds. I think all of us here have big and reasonable goals, and hopefully by taking full advantage of the community aspect of this site, we'll be fully able to acheive them. Please feel free to add me. Best of luck :)
