in Introduce Yourself
Hi,
I'm new to this community forum- but reaching out- looking for friends to encourage and to be an encouragement to- I need your help to hold me accountable to the goal.
I have a lot of weight to lose (150 Lbs.) and I know it will take some time- I'm in this for the long term-
I'm 56 yrs old- I AM NOT into Drama- I am taking this journey seriously and I am looking for like minded folks-
- I believe there is safety in numbers!
I love to have fun...and I'm looking to make this time a fun adventure instead of a 'chore'!
Look forward to hearing from ya all!

Happy Trails!
Julie

    Hey! My name is Courtney and I'm 18 years old and I would love to join you on your journey! I have recently lost quite a bit of weight (30 pounds) and now my goals are to get more toned and strong! I am open to giving you tips and answer any questions you might have through-out your weight loss journey :) I am a gym freak and I even train my mom now! I am looking to add people on this site to motivate each other and make our journies fun! You have a personal cheerleader if you are interested :)

    Welcome to MFP. You are dead-on about the safety in numbers. I get so much motivation scrolling through and commenting on my MFP newsfeed all the time. I'm on here more than Facebook! This place is amazing.

    Welcome welcome! Been on here a couple of weeks myself, and having a ball!! It's good to find people who you know are gonna say "Hey, aren't you weighing in tomorrow?" so you know that someone will notice if you don't! *grin* Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me if you think we have things in common (I know that won't be location, but never mind! *grin*) Jewels

    Hi Julie:

    Feel free to add me. I joined MFP in Feb 2012 and did not succeed so as the saying goes "I'm back in the saddle again". About 2 months ago rejoined and now starting to read message boards and blogs. There are a lot of people that seem willing to share their experiences and I hope to learn from others that have much more knowledge!

    Good luck !

    Hi Julie!

    I used myfitnesspal quite successfully five years ago, but I slipped off the wagon, rolled into a ditch and gained all of the weight back. Now I am starting over. Today was my first weigh-in in a long time. I am 64 and have 40 pounds to lose. Nighttime eating is my big weakness.

    I am up for being a fellow encourager if you are. :smile:
