I just found this amazing website and community today, and boy am I stoked. I'm especially looking for friends with a similar large amount of weight to lose. I have NEVER taken care of myself properly and am a total fitness/dieting noob, so anyone in the same boat is encourage to friend me! I've been really focused on getting healthier for the past two months, and I'm ready to step up my game with MFP's as a great tool to hold myself accountable and LEARN about nutrition.

My career is extremely important to me, and one of my main motivations for losing weight is that I feel it's significantly holding me back in terms of job opportunities and salary, and that ain't gonna cut it for me. Feel the same? Friend away!

    Hi! I'm Chris and I have about 140 pounds to lose. I have just joined too. I really like what I've seen so far! Want to buddy up for encouragement and accountability, or just to chat? :happy:

    I am in about the same boat, I have atleast 80 pounds to lose, I am finding it really hard to get my body to respond to losing weight. I have on IFP for about two months I think. I am also looking for friends on the program to keep me going and to give me the support to keep me motivated.
