in Introduce Yourself
OH.... MyFitnessPal. I've restarted with you so many times. Each time I say "THIS TIME IT IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT!!!" And here I am a couple pounds above where I started. I always seem to jump back on after Easter (chocolate! jelly beans!)

I am at 216 now. 250 was my all time high when I was about 28. 188 was the lowest I've been in years. I'd be so happy to get there again! Actually, I'd be really happy just to drop below 200.

So...hello all, again. I'm looking for supportive friends to remind me to stay in the zone! Last time around I had a few MFP pals, most have quit or went idle

    Add me if you want. I log consistently, only been on here since start of this year but I have made good progress and I am supportive.
    I prefer friends that actually eat though!

    Im 31 man and a father myself. And I look pretty good. Takes us a lil longer then when we were younger but I look better then most people in their early 20's. No replacement for discipline and hard work. Keep at it.

    I'm a 'late 30's' (read: 40) mom. Here everyday, do brick workouts, so would love to help inspire you.

    Feel free to add me. I've been inconsistent in the past but am really trying to log every day now. I could use some MFP friends as well!

    Glad to hear someone else call 39 'late 30's.' Feel free to add me, and good luck. This site has helped me stay focused even though I am a super busy Mom.

    My 39th birthday is fast approaching. Anyone of you "late '30's" can add me. I eat real food and move heavy things (like my overweight body, for instance!)

    I am new to myfitnesspal and need friends to help encourage me. I have already lost 20 of the 85 lbs , but still have a ways to go.I am 32 years old and have struggled with my weight my whole life. Not only do I want to get in better shape, I also have a daughter that is 10 years old and want to set a good example for her.
