Looking for friends who are maintaining

Hey everyone. I have been on MFP for about a year and have lost about 75 pounds since joining. Woo Hoo! I made a bunch of friends when I joined that were in the same boat as me...other new moms trying to lose the baby weight but sadly most of them didn't stick around here. I'd like to make some new friends who are also working at maintaining and continuing to work towards fitness goals other than dropping lbs. I've looked around this site but it is kind of difficult to find other folks who are maintaining.

Who am I? I am a mom of a 15 month old. I am a huge foodie. I could talk about good food all day long. I love eating clean and trying new things. My family eats mostly plants and I love to come up with new foods to share with my son. I also love to exercise and plan on always doing it as long as my body allows.

I'd love any new friends but especially those of you who have met your weight loss goal or are close to doing so and are just sticking around to keep things on track. Add me!

    I'm sort of "practice" maintaining. I've recently added exercise and my loss has come to a halt. But, I'm at a healthy weight now, so I'm not THAT upset by it. I'm playing with maintenance but may decide to lose another 5 or 10 pounds somewhere down the line.

    Hi. I have lost 91 lbs. I am a mother of a soon to be 8 year old, a 6 year old, and a 15 month old. I am maintaining and looking for friends who are trying to maintain. :) I have a great group of friends right now. However, I am the only one with the goal of maintaining and it is a little lonely.

    Feel free to add me. :D

  • I've been maintaining for almost a year and am now working on building muscle. I agree, it's hard to find others just here for maintenance.

    For all here, if you aren't already a member, there is also a good maintenance group forum on MFP where you can discuss maintenance issues and find good maintenance friends.

    I'm at about my goal weight and am thrilled about where I am- feel free to add me although I'm way outta your age group (almost 60). I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing (5:2 eating and daily workouts) and see where it takes me, but I do NOT want to gain the weight back, ever!
  • Hey there! I've tried this app before and had no idea how to add friends so I slacked for a bit there. I'm happy to say I'm back on track and have been on 20 days in a row! ( small victory ) any who, I'd like more friends, everyone keeps me motivated and excited which is fantastic! I've never had so much support and its nice to finally find people who are trying to reach the same goal!
    If you don't already have too many friends, feel free to add me! I promise I'm not a bore!! :)
