Hey!

I joined MFP in August, but have just gotten around to using all the features. I lost 20 lbs before finding MFP, but am looking for something to keep me going!

I'm just a bit under 200 now, and am trying to get down to 150lbs. I'm eating about 1200-1300 cals a day, and trying to exercise 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes.

I'm looking to connect with some people to keep the motivation going :) Please add me as a friend if you are interested in joining me on my journey!

    I'm new too and I need some motivating people as well I don't have anyone in my life encouraging me along my journey. I started at 315 pound and since June I have gotten down to 263 but still have alot of work to do I just started using this and I find that it really helps! I'm doing the south beach diet and exercising everyday for at least 30 mintues sometimes it's really hard because I have two little children but everytime I feel like I'm going to slip I just think about how much happier my kids and I will be when I have more energy and when I can take them places without feeling like everyone staring at my rolls!! Haha I'm really new to this and still figuring everything out!!! Good luck to everyone :)

    Hi, I would be happy to be your friend, and this is a great place to find support, and advice. I recently joined, so I'm happy to have new friends also. I think it's important, that know matter how busy one is, it's important to take that 1hr. a day for yourself. I go to Curves for woman, and walk Mon-Fri. You meet nice people, ang it's also a great way to unclog your mind while walking, while you know your doing something healthy and possitive for yourself. My neighbor told me about this website, and I plan to pass the word along. She's already lost 11 plus #s. Good Luck to you & just stay determined, because that's what it takes, along with changing the way we eat, for a healthier life style. It's a good feeling, to know your doing something possitive. I definately reward myself with my special food on the week-end. :smile: Mari

    Hello All! I just started Monday and I am finding this site keeps me accountable for the food I eat and the exercise I know I need to keep up with! Would love to join in with friends and share in the support!
