    Ooh, am I allowed to join too? I'm from Australia, so I measure in kilograms rather than pounds, but can do the calculations.
    I'm definitely after support and am new to this site.. Can you join 'groups' or is it just a matter of posting to message boards?

    Hi, I've been doing this since mid-May. I've lost 50 pounds so far (hit the 50 mark today!) I have at least 50 more to go. I'm 47, a mother of 2 and grandmother of 3. I have hypothyroidism and arthritis, work full time and find time to get my butt to the gym. I never thought I would be able to lose this much. Keeping track of calories on MFP has been an awesome tool for me!
  • Hi, I am Nicole. I am 40 and have lost about 55 lbs so far. I have another 80 to lose (conservatively). I am in this for the long haul. I keep my diary open to my friends and i try to view others diaries daily. I offer comments and encouragement regularly. Add me if you'd like.

    Oh yeah, I should introduce myself!

    I'm Annie, 27 and from Australia.
    I've recently completed some study and am a qualified Personal Trainer. (although I don't have any clients yet - i'm simply training myself for now, until i'm a respectable size!) I do have interests within training clients who fall into a 'special needs' category. (eg. health issues etc.)
    I'm looking to continue study to become a Physiotherapist, or something within the Sport Science field, working with local sporting organisations etc..

    I've lost 12kg so far, and am aiming for another 20kg.

    I haven't done much of a profile as yet, but am definitely looking for a support network, and looking to help people wherever I can. (please note that I am only recently qualified, and may not know the answers to everything, but am happy to help where I can! Also, over continents - national standards may differ!)

    Not sure how this site works, but i've seen people saying 'add me', so yeah, 'Add me!'

    Cheers!
    Annie. <3

    Mandy from Australia. Looking to lose a large amount of weight and to get very fit at the same time. I'm interested in a lifestyle change.

    I'm interested in having friends that are willing to give advice and maintain a diary of their own. A lot of people I have added recently either don't use it properly or have it private. Which defeats the point to me.

    Plus I still have a lot to learn, and I'd like to have friends to learn those lessons from. :).

    Hi guys
    I have been doing slimming world and have decided my best way forwarded is to try good old fashioned calorie counting and exercise I like the fact that you can do exercise to give yourself more calories to play with which is very motivation able for me and I think is exactly what I need, I have started at the beginning of the year and it has taken me till now to lose 15 1/2 lbs, I do we'll then go off track, I know my key to success is exercise I just need to motivate myself a bit more, I would like to lose another 32 to 39 lbs so would appreciate any support and likewise will give the support back, anyone please feel free to add me as a friend, I have only just joined this site so am still updating my profile, my name is Karen I am 36 from Lincolnshire England and I want this to be my last diet. Am getting really tired of letting myself get to a happy weight and then I relax and pile it all back on.
  • Hey everyone,

    Savannah here, been doing this for some time now, lost 83lbs thus far, training for my first marathon coming up in February, I'm in desperate need of some encouragement and support, probably the biggest thing I lack and what I'm in dire need of.

    So, whoever reads this, if you don't mind, encouraging words please? Thanks! :D

Ultimately I want to get to 160 ish and then see how I'm feeling from there... I've got about 45 lbs. to go!!!

    I'm looking for friends who are daily loggers and a good support system! You can never have enough support in this crazy journey!!

    sounds like a good idea :)

    i'm emma, i'm 23 and from the uk. so far ive lost about 29lb, however was away from here for a couple of months, so getting back on it the last week or so. i am extremely sporty (as you can tell from my profile pic :) ), and i play hockey, football/soccer, rugby, and do kickboxing. i did my degree is sports, so its kind of awkward going for job interviews and not being the size people expect you to be looking at your cv. i also have a daughter who is 5- i put on all my weight when i was pregnant with her, and have been struggling ever since to get back to my natural size 12 that i was before i was pregnant.

    Please feel free to add me :)

  • I'm Wen, and I'm generally pretty healthy. I am 5'2" and 112 lbs, which I realize is a perfectly normal weight. However, I would like to work on toning and shaping. Since starting med school, it has been pretty difficult to find the time to eat right and exercise, but I would like to find a routine that's relatively easy to stick to.

    please feel free to add me!
  • Hello everyone! I'm Chelsea, 23 years old. After having 2 children, I thought it was time to start losing the baby weight and get back in shape. I have 1 more pound to lose before I'm no longer considered "Overweight" for my height, 5' 0".

    Hello fellow MFP users! My name is Laurie and I'd like to build my friend network, too. I'm 44 and living in a new state without many friends with whom I can share my journey - ah the benefit of social networks may help! Please add me to your friends list. I log on daily and post my meals and fitness activities. Right now I'm struggling with a plateau, so any advice is welcomed! I look forward to our mutual support. Have a wonderful day!

    Hi, I'm Veronica,
    I've been using this site since last summer however in the middle I started the depo shot and gained so much more weight on it. I was starving even though I had just ate a whole meal. So now that I am off of that. I'm back! Before my goal was to lose ten pounds now its 25 I love motivating people because I love to be motivated I've been going to the gym almost every day and have been packing healthy lunches to work, so if anyone needs help or jug needs someone to encourage them please feel free to add me!
