    Hi, I just joined today. I am starting at 232 and want to lose 75 lbs!! I need all the support I can get. I always start out well then in a week or so loose all motivation. Feel free to add me. I am willing to support others if they are willing to support me too. The journey has just begun and hopefully slow and steadily the weight will come off

    Anyone can add me if they'd like! I've got around 95lbs to go, maybe more maybe slightly less depending on what feels right. It's definately not an easy journey!!

    Just started on this site recently and now that I'm getting the hang of the food diary, I"m venturing out into the social part. I was 242 a few days ago. I'd love some friends on this same level as well. It seems like an insurmountable obstacle and just reading this topic, and seeing I'm not alone makes me feel a little better.

    Hi!

    I'm 250 (as of yesterday) the highest weight I have ever knowingly been (I am sure during the 2 years I didn't weigh at all I exceeded that but I don't know for sure) this is my third time on MFP, the first being okay but last time I made it all the way to "one-derland" I got a new job a year ago and all my great habits went out the window! I've gained over 50 pounds back and it is due to my own stupidity! I stopped logging all I ate (the young'uns I work with giggled at my logging and I kinda forgot that I wasn't 22 anymore and able to eat anything I wanted like they could.) The job is also very sedentary. I sit on my hiney most of the day!
    If you want to add me as a friend just make sure to leave a message with the request. I am just now getting back into this so I am not great at responding yet but am getting better and need new friends as most of the old ones are either at goal or have left MFP.

    You can add me as a friend! I have more than a few lbs to loose ;) The first time I tried MFP whole heartedly and didn't loose a single pound! I was so discouraged. This is my second attempt.

    Hi my name is Greg. Been on MFP for awhile but just now got into the community side of things, i love how everyone supports each other. I am looking to lose over 100lbs, right now at 444 but i was 473 in Sept. Looking to build a great group of folks as a support network.

    Hi everyone! My name is Ashley and this is my first real time on MFP. I tried it a while back but wasn't mentally ready to start my weight loss journey, but I am now!! I'm currently 219 lbs. I've lost 5 since starting back up the first of the year and am hoping to lose a total of about 90 lbs. I'd love to meet some others who are on the same path as me. Feel free to add me! :-)

    Im just under 250 again. My friend used this last year when he was at 350 and lost nearly 100lbs. He's a great inspiration but with only him on here it is a bit depressing. I htink for me the hardest part of doing this is i work Graveyard shift so some days i dont eat much because im always sleeping!

    I am 249lbs. We can all use support and motivation, but I think you're right. Having friends who can relate more to your journey is important to your success. Feel free to add me if you like :)

    Feel free to add me...I started at 240 last spring and am at 185 now ( after regaining 7 lbs at Christmas). There have been ps and downs, but map helps, and discovering I have the inner fortitude for this has helped. I have 45 lbs to go, so feel free to add me!!!
