Hi. My name is Chirsty. I have been using My Fitness Pal and really like it better than other online calorie counters I've tried. I really want to get serious about my weight loss. I weigh more than I ever have in my life and I know I need to get back to feeling healthy, strong, and good inside of my own skin.

I have about 60 lbs. (at least) to lose. I would love to make some friends here that are willing to keep in touch, be encouraging, offer some motivation to each other, and share our ups and downs with weight loss.

    Welcome to the site! Looks like we have been here about the same amount of time. Feel free to add me if you like, as it sounds like we have similar amounts of weight to lose and support is always a big help!

    Hi, I'm Elaine. I just joined today, and I am also looking for someone to share with. I know having someone to get a message from motivates and encourages, or to have someone to sound off to, someone to help you along is great. I am 58, mostly walking for exercise, by myself. I'm hoping we can be friends, to encourage, talk and help each other. How's that sound. Hope to hear from you.
    Thanks, Elaine Fell (ladyeshopper@yahoo.com)

    HI Cristy,

    I am also heavier than ever, Yuck. I have lost 12 lbs using this site. I actually enjoy the tedious task of reporting what I eat.
    I am in need of another 50 lb loss and hope to be in a little black dress with a great pair of boots by years end. We can do it!!!

    I just joined this on line group today. I am looking for encouragement and motivation. I am 59 years old and you would think I would know how to lose weight at this age. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi! I joined a couple months ago and I'm doing good so far. I've lost 23 lbs using this site to track my calories and my treadmill for exercise. I'm 41 years old and have another 50 or so pounds to go. You can add me as a friend (i'm not sure how this site works other than to track my calories). I'm the heaviest I've been in my life and I just can't take it anymore. Just losing the 23 lbs i'm feeling really good. Little walks don't wear me out anymore. I have 3 grandkids it takes a lot to keep up with them, they're 3, 2 and 1. Like I said add me and we can help motivate each other.

    Welcome. I've got about 60ish to loose myself. Feel free to add me as a friend. I''ve been here for about 2 weeks and it has been eye opening to log what eat. I generally am making better choices when I'm writing it down. This is the first food diary that I've somewhat enjoyed doing.

    Good luck!
