in Introduce Yourself
Hi All,

I've been on MFP for over a year now and have lost over 30 lbs. since I started using it. I added a few people before, but they always seemed to go *poof* on me. :sad: :brokenheart: I'm on here daily and doing this for the long-haul, so I'm looking for friends who are committed to doing this long-term. I'm over-40, but I don't feel like it. :noway: :bigsmile: I'm married & the mom of a 13 year old daughter & I travel when I can.

I look forward to meeting new friends & giving & getting support to stay on track! :bigsmile:

    I've been on for about 4 months now. I disappeared for a little while due to some life changes, but I'm back in full force and i'm here to stay! I need all the motivation and support I can get! Let's all help each other :)

    I've been on here for over a year and a half, and I have never gone *poof! :) I just turned 40 last year, have two young sons, and the heart disease in my family (lost my dad when he was 38) made me want to get healthy for them. I managed to lose 30 lbs, but it's crept back up, so I'm struggling to get back down. I love to exercise now, and I'm vowing today to start tracking my food regularly again. Feel free to add me!

    I too am new (I had been a member before & lost 30+ pounds but life happened). I'm definitely in it for the long haul. I just turned 37 a little over a week ago, am married and have a 6 y/o son.

    I'd love some new friends to help keep me motivated & that I can do the same for.

    Send me a request!

    I’m not totally new to MFP, but tired of struggling on my own. Could use friends for support and happy to support to you. I’m Dutch so English is not my ‘Mother Tongue’…. :glasses: I'm 42, aiming to be on here daily and also doing this for the long-haul. Certainly not going *poof* on you or anyone else here.:smile:

    I'm new, literally started this week, definitely in it for the long haul though., lost 2lb already in 2 days, i probably shouldnt weigh myself every day, but im too excited. i weighted 14st 5 pounds and am now at 14st 3 pounds. Im only 5ft2 so i am really quite big, and have a long way to go.
    Im also looking to make some friends on here and to gain encouragement from others :)

    I just sent you a friend request. I'm 39 years old, mom to 3 teens. 18 pounds to go to my goal weight :)

    I'm vegan, but my kids aren't and I don't judge people based upon how they choose to eat. So - if anyone else on here wants to add me, send a friend request :)

    P.S. I'm on here daily...way too much, probably!

    Sounds like there's a lot of people who've been on a while but never got into the community side (like me D: )

    I definitely won't *poof* (unless I'm on a trip or something)

    Day 17....so I am fairly new. Started losing weight about 8 weeks ago (due to a medication change) without much effort so I figured I should capitalize on the trend! I lost 12 by the time I started here and am down another 4. I am 46, have 5 children, stay at home, and need some peeps to keep me on track! Add me! And as soon as I figure out how to friend I'll add folks on this thread. Good luck to all!
