in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I need some motivational friends to help me through this process. Before, all my attempts at losing weight were horrible. I received no encouragement from any of my friends or family. So I've decided not to tell anyone, hence why I'm here. I need some friends whose goals are similar to mine and don't mind encouraging me while I return the sentiment.

I'm tired of looking this way and feeling bad about myself. And I'm tired of being laughed at.

So, who's with me?

    My Name is Mary. Been trying to lose weight myself and not liking the way I look. Dont have anyone to workout with around me and everyone eats what they wanna eat so its hard to stay focused and motivated so I understand. Good Luck to ya!

    Well, I can understand how you feel, as my family is a lover of foods, and every time I tell them I am looking to loose weight they give me the ... Accept who you u are your beautiful speech .... I wonder if its because they don't want anyone around them dieting and making them question whether they should.. but anyhow.. I love them all thick or thin! LOL!
    You can add me, as I can use some encouragement myself... I also was wondering.. what are your goals?

    Please feel free to add me! I think that family and friends can be somewhat harsh judges of what we are going through and we don't always get what we need from them. This site has been a huge help to me!

    I just started my workout and diet plan. I'm 37 and I work 50 hours a week while being a full time single father. I'm trying to get my weight down to 210. I'm 243 right now. I need some motivational friends to keep me focus.

    Hey guys and gals,

    I've been losing and gaining back the same 20-25 pounds for about 4 years now, and want to finally keep them off, and also get muscles . (I am a weakling so the getting muscles part will be super hard) , Definitely could use some encouragement along the way!

    We can do it!

    I joined MFP last Saturday and it's been working wonderfully! Would LOVE some motivated people who, like me, need to be accountable to others to help motivate them! If anyone wants to add me that would be so helpful!

    Welcome!

    I joined MFP a little while ago to try to monitor what I was taking in... then I seem to have forgotten about it and ended up 45lbs heavier! So here I am trying to get back on track! Feel free to add me and maybe we can help each other out to become more motivated to get healthy together!

    Good Luck!

    :)
