in Introduce Yourself
I have 50 lbs. to lose and would like some friends with similar goals or more. I started out with 154 lbs. to lose, but this last 50 has been a struggle. My name is Kimberlee, 49. Anyone is really welcome to add me. I accept everybody. Please feel free to add me for support and encouragement.

A little about myself. I am married but was never able to have children. I have a ton of health problems due to being morbidly obese all my life and that has caused me to be physically disabled. I am also recovering from major abdominal surgery 3 wks. ago, but am returning to the gym today to get my strength back and burn some calories. I am on here everyday, have an open diary, and answer all messages.

    Good Morning Smokey 19:) I joined FP just at 2 months ago. I have lost my first 20 pounds - 10 of that before FP but have a considerable ways to go. I admire what you have done & have a neice in Indiana with similar issues. I would love to get her on here. I will try to send you a friend request but if you don't receive I am carollu101

    I don't eat a lot of meat & have increased my fresh fruit greatly - I have heard a lot of diabetics say they can't eat all that fruit but my rsearch has not shown that the sugar in the fresh affects blood sugar negativly. If you are looking for new ideas check out Live Love Fruit - she is on facebook & posts a lot of helpful info, etc.

    Best continued success - I also keep an open diary & enjoy friendly diary stalking for new food ideas/combinations lol Carol

    Yes. my my height i am suppose to be between something and 169. I am really trying to get down to my "idea" weight. I am 292 and i am trying to get down to at least 200 lbs. ive lost 80 before and regained it all. but im really hoping that if nothing i can lose about 40 pounds before i get pregnant again. I made a promise to myself that i would never go over 300 lbs and right now if i got pregnant i know id go over. not trying for a baby but not preventing either.

    If you want you can add me I love making new friends. the more the merrier.

    Hi there!
    50lbs lost would put me pretty much on target and I definitely need the motivation getting back on track after the holidays :/ I post a lot and anyone that wants to give/receive support is welcome to add me :] Just put a little note it's from this group. Hard to keep track of people with soo many on here!!

    Hi! I have about 87 lbs to lose. I also just recently had surgery Dec. 18th. And can not move my ankle at all. It is just pretty much stuck. I just joined myfitnesspal. And this is my first reply/board I have read. I would love to try and help any way I can because it sounds like we are looking for the same goals and may have some of the same challenges. I am 30 married and my husband and I would Love to have children but my weight is standing in the way of that as well. I hope we can help each other on this journey!

    -Lauren :)

    hi I started my weight loss journey 2 years ago and lost 29 lbs before I joined MFP...I have lost a total of 38 lbs, and need to lose about 60 more...I am on here everyday, I really don't get much exercise, employed but on vacation at this time...I work at a desk job and have a very stressful/intense job..(go to my profile and it is all there)....this last year I have had an enormous amount of health issues, which seems to be just allergies/sensitivites, first my meds, and now foods... Thanksgiving Eve I ate a small loaf of french bead (I was craving it...I hadn't had much bread in awhile...in fact I usually don't eat much bread at all) and had an all out allergic reaction to that...so now I'm being tested for Celiac...my diary may say all kinds of things...I am trying to eat nutrient dense foods to counteract the fatigue that I've been experiencing....I have a about 20 friends or so, but only get comments from a few now....I try to comment on the thread, but I don't comment on everybodies...only if they say something that moves me...I feel funny commenting on every one that pops up...I do try to go to the forums that interest me, and read thru them, only sometimes making a comment...if I can add to the knowlwdge....I don't know why my other friends have decided not to acknowledge me...I would love to have a friend that would stick with me...LOL...

    please friend me, I won't delete you...
