Long term friends!

I can kinda relate. I'm 21 and started out at 206! I've never really been considered small, but that was my breaking point. So far I'm down about 13 pounds and this really does help!! I'm not from North Dakota, but I'm usually on here at least once a day, so maybe I can help Add me if you like

I'm in the same situation I'm 20 years old (21 in May) Have two jobs and rarely get time to eat properly so pick all day on the wrong foods whilst im in work, i'm looking for friends who will help me reach my target weight. i'm 5ft8 and 228lbs!!! Same me and my partner eat out a lot as it was easier with both of our jobs and also not being able to cook for each other as we live apart atm.
I live in Wales in the UK and just really want some people who can help motivate me!! My friends try but they don't understand as most of them are tiny!!! lol
So add me if youd like to talk and exchange inspirational messages lol p.s. be nice to have friends over seas too!

I've gained 30ish pounds since I started dating my boyfriend a year and a half ago. I can totally relate. We eat out all the time and he doesn't mind the weight at all. But I don't feel good about myself anymore. I felt fat BEFORE we met! I've been on MFP off and on for a couple years. I tend to go really hard for a couple months, then stop. I could use some more motivators to help me make this the time that works!

Right there with ya - just broke up with a serious ex over the summer and I've done the relationship yo-yo ever since high school. At my heaviest at the end of my last relationship I was at 270 (YIKES) but have am now down to 245 since end of August. My goal is to be at my high school weight (150) by next summer so I'm in this for the long haul and would love to have more support and to absolutely give it in return to anyone on this journey too!

I've been on here logging consistently since May, but don't have a lot of friends on here that I know that well (though there are a select number of super awesome and supportive people on my feed), so I'm always looking for friends who actually want to get to know one another. I'll send you a friend request and message.

And if anyone else would like to add me, feel free! I'm 23, currently 224 pounds--I've lost about 40 since I came back here and started logging consistently, though my ticker says 49 as I joined before that point, used MFP a bit but abandoned it, eventually came back this May. As sort of ... horrifying as it is to say (to me, looking back and realizing how big I allowed myself to get), that wasn't even my highest weight. A couple of years ago I topped out at 284 (though I could have been larger at some point; who knows as I avoided weighing myself). I've recently joined a gym and am looking forward to my first zumba class later tonight! I'm also looking at signing up for my first 5k this upcoming May, The Color Run. I'm just now starting c25k (on the treadmill as there's not many good places to run around here and it's starting to get colder). I don't really have a hard set goal on what number I'd like to end at (though I did once upon a time pick one for my ticker); I want to be fit and happy with my body and able to cross a bunch of fitness-dependent stuff off my bucket list, whatever that number ends up being. I'll probably have a slightly more specific goal in mind as I get closer to maintenance.

I love music, travel (I could talk about travel all day long, really), geology, foreign languages and cultures (my major is Japanese, though I'm also enrolling in a travel marketing program this January), and shows like Sherlock and Doctor Who. And I ramble nigh on constantly (as you can tell from this rambling post). Annnnd that about sums me up, I suppose.

Hi! I'm 17, and I experienced the relationship weight gain too! I've been with my boyfriend for about a year now and we've both gained at least twenty pounds each because we're so comfortable with each other, eat out a lot, and often buy treats for seeing movies (which is at least once a week!) we are now both trying to motivate each other to lose weight and get in shape, and I could totally use others help as well as motivating them! Add me if you'd like

Just sent a friend request, but for anyone else who wants to - feel free to add me too!!

I've been at this for almost two years, and just hit the 500 day mark on MFP! Started my journey on 1/1/11, at 303.4 lbs - i'm 5'6''. I am currently 187lbs, and getting ready to do my second half marathon next weekend (did my first one on 11/10/12) If I can do this anyone can!
