(Even though the last photo looks bigger than the third to the last, I've actually lost 5 pounds and 2 inches off my waist between the two.)

I am currently in the process of revamping my friends list and I hope you will be on it! A little about myself. I'm a 30 year old single mother that started at 315 pounds (the far left photo) I'm 5'11 so I think my height saves me because when people hear 315 and look at the photo they don't believe it! Currently I'm below 290 and close to 30 pounds lost total. Obviously I still have a long way to go.

I'm looking for friends who are in the same boat as me and want positive reinforcement. I have too many people on my list complaining about 2 vanity pounds, water gain like it's the end of the world, and unhealthy diets.

Wanna be friends? ^_^

    All your photos look fabulous, but I can see how your ribcage curves in more on the last photo from the other photos, it might be the difference in the clothing/colors you're wearing as well. Great job on the loss so far!

    I've already lost almost all the weight I want to lose, but I'm happy to support friends on here. I would never have gotten where I did without the support of my friends on MFP! I'm pretty positive, but I will hold you accountable. :)

    I could definitely use some more friends, and will definitely be positive in my support of you. I'm always afraid to post things for fear of the negative comments, so any positive motivation I can get and give is definitely appreciated! You look absolutely amazing in your journey so far. Would love to know what you've done exercise and diet wise to get where you have! I'm a mother of two wonderful 13 year olds and finding time to exercise is sometimes tough, but it's important to make time for yourself as well.

    Well first off congrats on your progress thus far. Choosing the lifestyle of becoming more healthy or more fit is not an easy task but the long term results are what we have to stay focused on. So you can feel free to add me. I've got another 20 to lose and then after that I need to learn how to maintain. I look forward to motivating and encouraging you along your way. Keep up the good work!!!

    I am new here, and have quite a bit to lose as well. I am 38 years old, married, but do not have kids. I have lost around 9 pounds and need people to hold me to this new change of healthy eating and exercise. Feel free to add me to your friends list. I need all the good positive people that I can get to share this journey with.

    Hello!

    I'm not exactly in the same boat...my pounds are less but my goal is definitely not for vanity. I too am looking for positive people. Here's what I posted in my intro:

    Hello. I've been away from MFP for some time but I am back and want to start using it more frequently. If you would like, please read my profile to find out more about me.

    For now:

    -If you are someone who is interested in seeing what someone else is doing here, you are positive and you are not dependent on others for your happiness then you may want to consider following me.

    -I have opened my diary, profile and blog to the public for those that are curious as to what someone else does here on MFP.

    -I'm open to gaining "friends" who would like to follow my progress as little or as often as they want.

    -I am currently interested in using the MFP site as a tool in my journey with food and movement rather than as a social network and will likely rarely communicate with the "friends" I make.

    -When I do communicate I only post positive feedback.

    -If "friends" want to communicate with me I respectfully ask that they consider posting minimal positive feedback and not taking it personally if I don't reciprocate. (Like I stated above...not really here for the social network).

    Thanks so much for considering and have a great day!
