in Introduce Yourself
Hello fellow MFPers. I'm just looking for a few more friends to help with motivation/advice :) A few of my friends have either become inactive or are pretty quiet. Here's a little about me:
I'm 29, two jobs, and I'm finishing my accounting degree this year (woohoo!). I'm 5'4" and I have 39 lbs to go to meet my first goal and then another 50 after that. I'm on every day logging calories/exercise.
Looking to encourage and be encouraged! My diary is private for now, but I will open it up when I feel it's necessary.
It makes no difference to me whether your goal is similar to mine, if you're looking for motivation...add me :)

Thanks so much!

    HI all,

    I installed this app months ago but never bothered me backside.
    Ok, installed it again and being going well now for 3 days!!
    Working in the oil and gas and a bit sedentary at the moment and possibly over indulged
    over xmas time.
    Not sure if mine is private or what - my diary that is.

    :smile:

    p.s excuse the profile picture. I cooked a ham hock for xmas and it reminded me of silent of the lambs so then decided
    to make a face mask out of dead pigs skin and emulate Anthony Hopkins. Is this normal?

    Feel free to add me. I'm looking for some supportive friends. I'm an elementary teacher and a mother of 3 little ones, I'm 33, but I totally feel younger, even though my kids try to remind me that I'm not. I'll have to check to see if my diary is private. I'm new to this MFP thing.

    I had lost 50 lbs before and gained it back. So I'm starting over and starting fresh! I'm looking for friends also :)

    I'm a 26 year old law school student in California.

    I joined MFP almost a month ago. I've been logging every crumb that passes my lips.Its made me so much more aware of portion sizes. I joined a gym and am actually going, I may not run miles and pump iron, but between the gym, Wii Fit Plus, and a couple Jillian Michaels dvds, I'm doing SOMETHING! In my month here, I've lost 13# and 2" from my waist alone! I would love for anyone to add me. I want to be held accountable, and celebrated with, and I promise to do the same!

    Hi! I've been logging my food and serious about losing since July and I've lost 48lbs so far. I have about 40 more to go. I am very active on here and always motivate my friends and provide advice, if asked. Please add me if you would like to.

    I'm usually open for people to add me if they'd like. I've been silent for a while though. I've found I was doing much of these things (posts, blogs, entries, etc) in order to get people's responses...I like having people care (long story). But in the end, we have to do these things for ourselves. Hearing the "Nice Job", "Good Loss!", etc is nice, but gets repetitive and loses meaning over time. At that point you find you need to look at the numbers and be satisfied for you...not for someone else.

    Keep in mind though, having friends on MFP isn't just about getting encouragment when you post a loss or an exercise, it's also about having a group of people to turn to even when things are going like s***. We may not cheer you up, and sometimes you may not want to be...but we'll be there to stand with you, even if its silent.
