    Hey

    My name is Naomi and I am looking for a few friends on here who are at the same point as me, just starting out with around 100lb to loose, for a bit of online support and motivation from others who have the same kind of goals

    I currently weigh in at a little under 20stone and i'd like to get down to around 180lb, the upper end of a healthy weight for someone my height!

    I am almost 35 and married with 2 small children who .are my biggest motivation xxx

    Hello All, I've been on my journey since Mid-sept 2012 and have lost 50 lbs so far! Please feel free to add me, I will be here to support & encourage you along the way. I have 3 beautiful bambinos that are a BIG part of my motivation. MFP is an amazing website and will help greatly. I log in daily, Good luck & best wishes on your journey. Have a blessed week!

    Hi Naomi. Welcome and congratulations on being here :)

    I am 47 and started out at 311 (this time)...on my own (and with help from a trainer for a little while) I was able to lose 60lbs (from 2009 to 2012...and got married at 250lbs. I gained 16lbs back at the time I joined and have lost 7 since I joined the group. I break up my goal so it doesn't seem too daunting (hehe) so my first goal is to get back to my wedding weight...then I will pick another goal. I have arthritis in my knees and I love to hike, so my main goal is just to come healthier and aleviate some of the pain.

    Please, feel free to add me (anyone), the more friends and support we have the better we will do (I think)....

    First of all, congrats to everyone! Starting this journey is not an easy task so congrats on making it past that point!
    My name is Brittany and I am 23 years old. I started with a weight loss goal of about 120lbs but once I get more weight gone I will be able to better pinpoint my goal weight. So far I have lost 32lbs so only 88lbs or so to go! Feel free to add me! I log daily :)

    My name is Christine and I too am married with two children (3 & 6). I have just under 100lbs to lose. I know we can all use as much support as we can get. I've only been on MFP for close to a month and hoping to soon see bigger results. But everyone here is super supportive. Feel free to add me if you want.

    My name is Patti and I just started as well. My goal is to get healthier and although I would like to lose over 100 lbs anything I take off will be a blessing. I think I have yo-yo dieted my entire life and motivation is my biggest problem. Exercise has never been something I liked to do so it is hard for me to push myself but here's hoping.

    I started 17 months ago with a goal of losing 135 pounds. I am down 91.5 as of my last weigh in. YOU CAN DO IT! Tracking EVERYTHING you put in your mouth and eating back your exercise calories are the key! Feel free to friend me!

    I am new to the site. It was recommended to me by my Wellness Coach last year. I finally got up the nerve to come on-line and fill out the personal information for the help I need. I have been keeping track of my diet pretty close for the last 3 weeks. I can see that has helped, I just need more on the working out side.

    I am 41, I have at least 100 lbs to loose. I am single - never married. One child, well not really, young adult, she is 21 and she moved back home with me in July. Last week she joined the gym with me which is nice for that little extra push. She just works different hours than I do, so we can't always make it together.

    I just started the first part of January and, like you, I want to lose 100 pounds. I've lost 14 so far. I wear a Fitbit and that helps keep me on track. I also do Weight Watchers but I plan on quitting it and just using this website to keep track of my calories. I'm 56 and have a 3 year old granddaughter. She's my motivation. I want to keep up with her! Best of luck!

    How's the Fitbit working for you? I want to buy one but I don't want to drop $100 and it's not accurate.

    Accuracy is INCREDIBLE with fitbit! I LOVE it!!!

    I have a hundred pounds to lose...and just recently lost some friends that haven't been logging in for a while. Feel free to add me! I'm here EVERYday!!!
