Need friends and need motivation!

Hey guys! I'm new and starting a journey to lose about 110lbs, I would love to make friends and find some people to help me stay motivated! When I was in high school I was very motivated and played volleyball all 4 years and just loved to be active. But now, 4 years later I've lost all my motivation. I went to college and stopped playing sports and now I have a job were I sit for 8 hours a day :( So I'm now ready to get back that old me! :)

    Welcome! I was lacking of motivation for many years until I found MFP and I've discovered an amazing community full of nice and supportive friends. I need to lose more than 100 lbs too.

  • Welcome and friends and motivating people definitely help....I'm on day 70 feel free to add me
  • hey! thanks for the welcomes! Mendorica, I was trying out weight watchers for a few months and it was awful! a lot of the people there we kinda mean and not very helpful. I asked them for motivation to work out and they about bit my head off say that i didn't have to work out. Some of the things they said were also hurtful, so I wasn't going to keep going with people that didn't want to help me. So hopefully I can keep it up here.
