in Introduce Yourself
I'm 31 and 230 as of yesterday. Today I'm 227.5....I really would like some friends on here to go through this with. Add me as a friend so we can scream, cry and smile together in this. I'm a super picky eater and need some advise on things to eat. I can't even mean plan without repeating the same meal like 3 times in one week...I don't want to fail.

    I will add you. I am trying to get my crap back together after Christmas. I have a lot of weight to lose and would love to have some encouragement. I have been really frustrated here lately, working really hard on exercising, but eating stupid stuff.

    Hey I was going home but decided to answer. I am 51 years old tommarrow, I am finally starting to understand things. I feel the pain about not wanting to fail but dont be afraid. I lost 30 pounds plus a marriage from from 4 years ago.

    I am trying to change my life and this project took on urgency about a month ago when I had a very bad experience with alcohol.I decided to change things and not beat myself over my indescretions.

    Here are tips that worked for me.

    1 drink water
    2. remember habits are very hard to break. I still cant get up at 6 am but I have gone to gym repeatly the last 5 days. If you fall from your chosen diet just dust yourself off and keep at it.
    3. Knowledge is power.

    I will friend you you because I need help too. I need to hit 200 pounds from 220 right now.

    I'll add you too. I am 35 and started on my weight loss journey two years ago at 263 lbs. I got down to 178 before the holidays, then just got tired of all the working out and took a break, more like a "binge" and ate anything and everything I wasn't allowing myself to. I did gain back a few pounds and I'm back at 190 but ready to hit it hard again in the new year and get the last 30lbs or so off that I want to lose. I have two girls ages 5yrs and 2yrs.

    I am 'starting over' with the new year. I lost 40 lbs in 2011. I read many posts, but now I would like some support as well. I have about 20-30 lbs to go, (after gaining 10 back) So add me too and we can do this together. I am adding more intense exercise to my routine, so hopefully that will help get me off this plateau I've been on for quite some time. This sight is so helpful. Good luck everyone, let's do this!!

    I will add you, I just started MFP this week and I could use some friends that actually know what I am going through. Dieting is hard to do without support. My last 4 days on MFP have been great. I have been drinking all the required water and logging my foods faithfully. I will start going to the gym again on Monday to add my exercise. We can do this if we all work together!!!

    Please add me too =)

    Im trying the Ashy Bines Diet plan, its great, and you see results but you need will power.

    1 of my best pieces of advice is to take before and weekly photo's! It really helps, especially when u think you arent getting anywhere........you can photo collage a before shot with a current shot and see your progress.
    And drink loads of water!
    Try and change your habits......I was a serious chocoholic!!! But ive found dark mint crisp sugar free chocolate and it helps.
    And I take a yummy Protein Powder called BNRG Proto Whey, choc flavoured, its the BEST tasting protein powder I have ever tasted =)
    Good luck peeps! Add me!!! =)

    I will add you!!! I recently posted in need of friends and had quite a few people add me. It's only been a couple of days but it's totally motivating! I am 26, so far I've lost 30lbs and I'm stuck around 215. I am SUPER picky and understand where you are coming from! It's so hard for me to eat healthy foods! I'd appreciate any ideas as well!

    Hi. I'm in my 40s. I'm new to MyFitnessPal. I heard about it on a news report and decided to join. I went to see my doctor and I'm NOT happy with my weight. I asked my doctor for some guidance in regards to my weight...sadly I didn't receive much. So last month, in December 2012, I joined a gym. Though it's only been a month....and I'm not on a regular routine yet....I've only lost 5 lbs. That's better than nothing. Right?

    Today, was the first time I used MyFitnessPal to count my calories. My boyfriend laughed at me. Which upset me, of course. But, I'm glad that I now know my daily calorie count and how to track what I eat.

    I need to log how many calories I burn at the gym....today, I just estimated. I hope to get better at this.

    I'll add you - I just started MFP yesterday. I am trying to lose 20 pounds before I turn 40 (in 3 months). It's kind of an arbitrary goal, since I need to lose about 38 pounds or so...Let's keep each other motivated!

    Sending a friend request now! I am "new" to this, as in I've had an account before, deleted it and created a new one so I can start fresh! I would love to be there for you throughout your journey, and have someone to vent to!

    Hello,

    I just started this today! I read about the website in Consumer Reports and just had to check it out. My weight has been a roller coaster for the last few years, and every time I think I'm making a difference I fall back into old routines. I tend to shed inches before I see ANY actual difference in my weight, which is probably okay, but still really frustrating for me. It's just hard for me to find an exercise I won't get bored with, but counting my calories seems like a great way to get on track! :) I'm looking to lose about 20 lbs. I can't wait to be inspired by the people on here who have already lost weight. I think that will be a huge motivator for me.

    Feel free to add me!

    I can be one of your buddies. I can't give meal planning tips, but I can offer support. I know can use some support.

    Some people may give you a hard time about logging food and exercise. BUT the real deal is when you see results and feel great. So keep up the good work and keep 'keepin' track'. Good luck!

    I need some buddies, too. I had several abdominal surgeries a couple years (Crohn's for 12 years and it finally caught up with me). I packed on nearly 40 pounds in just 12 months - metabolism is all screwed up. It's time to get it back under control and am open to tips.

    New to this site, overweight, stressed out, mother of two, wife and nursing student seeks friends for mutual encouragment on this road to weight loss! I am now at the heaviest I have ever been in my life at 201 lbs. and I want to live again and be happy with myself and my body. I am not sure how to add/request people on here but I sure would love to find some friends to help motivate each other! We've got this. 2013 is our year!

    I wouldn't mind a few new friends as well! I've been on the site for a while and had gotten down to 167 (from a high of 210), but 2012 brought so much stress and absolute insanity that I haven't been taking care of my own needs and have been eating to make myself feel just a bit better (not that it works). I'm back on board, back in the gym (my workout today felt SO good!), back at Zumba (squee!!!), and counting calories like I never stopped. :smile:

    So feel free to add me!

    My stats:
    Age: 25
    Height: 5' 2 3/4"
    SW: 210
    CW: 200
    GW: 130

    Anyone that is searching for friends that get on and motivate everyday then add me. I absolutely look forward to logging everyday because it helps me be more accountable for what I am putting into my body. I am a college student and have nothing better to do with my free time then to be on MFP annoying the crap out of people. If you need to chat I'm almost always online. I look forward to talking to you all and hearing everyones story.

    I'm NOT a picky eater, weigh 207 and 32 years and desperately need someone who can call me out when I want to eat that apple pie, or have 2 glasses of wine, instead of one and a glass of water. Or ask if I went to the gym.
