    Hi! My first time on here and I would love to meet some friends! I've lost 30 pounds over the past year and have about 30 more to go. I've heard such great things about this site that I thought it would be fun to try something new. Looking forward to hearing from you!

    This site is awesome. I lost quite a bit a couple years ago, but fell back into bad habits, so I'm starting over. Best wishes on your journey.

    This is my first time reaching out myself but what your wrote about being honest and accountable may be a main reason i have not stuck with this.

    Could use a few friends. This will be my third time starting over. I need to make the change the right way this time!

    I'm curious, but what went wrong the first two times? Was it a lack of MFP friends?

    If your success is based on others it won't last. And if you quit when it gets boring or difficult then you probably lack what it takes to create real change. Motivation wanes. Results comes from DOING even when you don't feel like it.

    Its posts like this that show how concerned and supportive Jof is to others. You should add him as a friend, you will not be sorry!

    I felt the same way you did and in the short time that I've added friends, it has made a world of difference.

    I hear ya. I live alone so I have absolutely no one to answer to. I find that this place gives me the accountability I need to stay focused. That and I got tired of having to roll from my back to my stomach to get off the towel at the beach/pool.

    Me too, it's easier when you have others to bounce ideas and stuff off of. Anyone feel free to add me if you want.

    Agreed! It's way more fun to connect with people going through the same thing. Feel free to add, though you've gotten tons of support from your post. :) Happy New Year!

    It wasn't so much lack of friends really. It was just real easy to not log in if I didn't feel like it; it's not like anyone would notice. I realize I was also too restrictive on myself when I was doing well, and too down on myself whenever I perceived imperfection. I made it harder on myself then it had to be. This time I'm trying to take it slower and try to have fun with it.
