in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Erica, I am 21 years old! I have been on MFP for a few months now and only have one friend, I need more friends that want to get support as well as give support! I have been overweight most of my life and I am ready to change that. I need to lose over 80 pounds and I have already lost 25. It is hard to go through this without people by your side! There are plenty of reasons why I want to lose weight but the biggest reason is so I can be healthy, I do not want to hear the words knee replacement, hip replacement, ankle replacement, etc at a young age, if I have to hear those words I want to hear them when I am really old. I have helped lots of friends with their weight loss goals but now it is time for me to help myself.

Please feel free to add me! I will add back and support you on your weight loss journey! :)

    Hey, I only joined two days ago, so have no friends. I would also really like the help and support of someone, especially someone as motivated (for the right reasons too) as you sound. I have to say if your picture is anything to go by, you look fantastic for someone who needs to loose 80 pounds :smile:

    Me too, could do with a few friends on here for motivation and inspiration, especially people around similar age, and with similar goals etc... I like to hear how people are making exercise and nutrition work for them!
