in Introduce Yourself
Just starting this and looking to build a solid group of friends with similar goals. I've read that having friends at various stages of this 50+ lb goal will be motivating for all of us.

Hoping to find those inspirational members who might be at the beginning of the journey-- like me

Some who have reached the halfway mark overcoming obstacles and just getting thru the daily grind even though it seems the goal was so far away

And also those friends who persevered and with hard work and dedication are at the finish line of this journey

Please be my friend and let's motivate each other!!

Me-- mom of four and that has seemed to take everything I have until there is never anything left for me.

I'm working on making the balance in my life a little more even and not so "take care of everything and everyone and see what's left for me"

My Time Is Here !!!

    Hi! I just saw the subject of your post on the side of my home page and decided to click. This is actually the first time I've ever posted or replied to a post on these message boards. Its not something I would normally do, even though I do read through a lot of these posts and have begun to realize how much of an inspiration everyone's story is for me and how it helps me to stay on track. My weight has fluctuated my entire life, mostly big to bigger, but I've had a few moments of being in relatively OK shape :) I started trying to get healthier a few months ago and have lost about 30lbs and my goal is to lose around 60 more. My biggest challenge has been to go from being almost completely inactive to trying to be as active as possible. And to cut out the sweets :)
    Anyway, I saw your post and thought, "hey, I could use a friend on here too!" so I'd be happy to join you on the journey and help motivate each other on the path to a healthy and happy life! Hope you are doing well today and ready to approach it with a smile that says "I'm gonna do it!"

    I've lost 12 pounds so far using MFP and fitorbit trainer. It's so hard but I stopped looking at it as a checklist and more like a day by day way of life. I feel more positive but would like some friends who are want to lose the 70 that I have left.
    Keep smiling :)

    Hi, everyone. I am just starting also. I want to lose 75 pounds. I am excited to have you all to visit with. Eating all the wrong things at Christmas has made me have a sweet tooth. Sugar is really adictive!

    Started with MFP at 344lbs. in Dec 2011 with a goal of losing 94lbs to get back down to 250lbs. Lost 66lbs from Dec 2011 to Thanksgiving 2012.

    Gained back 6lbs due to bad eating and not being able to exercise at the gym due to a hernia.

    Went in for surgery on Dec 14th and hate sitting around during recovery. Probably not going to be able to exercise at the gym until February, so I am trying to eat better so I don't gain anymore weight.

    I want 2013 to be a good year and lose the 46lbs to reach my FIRST goal weight!

    Always looking for new MFP friends!
