in Motivation and Support
i started my journey in January with just about everyone else in the world lol my new years resolution was to loose weight and be healthier. i joined MFP not to much longer after that i think. i noticed my news timeline has slowed down drastically lately and when another friend mention so many of her pals had stopped logging in i checked and sure enough almost half my friends on here have not log in in a while a month to 3 months . I'm keeping them with hopes they will return but I'm hoping to find some new active members. My goal when i started was to lose 100 pounds i am almost half way there but i need all the help i can get to stay on track i log in everyday and would love to be your support as well
thanks
heather

    I don't 'log' in, but do my food and exercise entries daily. I don't have many friends, and the ones I do don't make any comments on my entries. I am looking for friends who WILL make comments. I try to comment on their entries on a regular basis. So if you'd like, feel free to add me.

    I may not be the person you want to add. As a college kid there are obligatory ramen entries. Entries are completed the next day on a regular basis. I prowl campus for free food events, which are invariably full of grease. One of my jobs is food service and I eat what I make.

    And I'm still here.

    Nice honest post. I'm new to MFP and it is the most motivating tool ever. I am now reaching out for friends to keep the motivation going strong. Add me and we can do it together.

    I log on daily, always try to give some supportive word of encouragement to my pals, as this is a big part of our weight loss journey, It really does help... I joined in Febr. 2013, so far have lost 74 lbs, I started at a weight of 234.4 and set a goal of 199, just to get under 200, I did so well with that so I then set a goal to 175lbs,again the weight seemed to come off so easy for me, I set another goal to 165, I am now at 160lbs and have set a final goal to 150 lbs. These last 10 lbs seem to be a challenge for me, I seem to have met my match, BUT I WILL DO IT!!!!! I am only 5 ft 3in tall, I own and operate a 60 seat cafe, so that temptation with food is always there..But it seriously is mind over matter, I set my mind to do this and I WILL!! I lost a daughter-in-law at the age of 39, of a massive heart attack 2 years ago and ever since that I knew I had to do this as she also was a very overweight person, which led to her health and to her attack, leaving a husband and 2 children, 14 and 3. My son is getting remarried to a lovely woman on Oct 5th.

    Hi, Heather, I joined in January, too! I've logged my food every single day since then except for one week when i was at a health resort. I still have a long way to go, and even when (not if) I get there, I plan to continue logging. So please feel free to add me!

    You can add me if you want, I am on this website just about every day. I sometimes am just too lazy to log my calories for the day, I just don't feel like it. But I think it'd help if we encouraged or supported eachother. Although sometimes I have trouble with saying stuff to people on posts they made that I found inspiring, or good.

    Feel free to add me (that goes for everyone). I've replaced Facebook with MFP for my social networking "fix".

    I can't promise to comment on every post, but I will comment as much as I can. I am a HUGE aficianado of the EM2WL plan because it's working for me.

    Gotta run - must get ready for work (it's 6:30am here).

    I log in daily, but only have 5lbs to go to reach goal. Even after I reach my goal, I plan on sticking around for the moral support. Some of my friends have things going on in their life and have put MFP on the back burner. I would never delete them as I feel when they are ready to come back they will need the support from their friends more than ever.

    Mine are dropping also but due to me not them. I support my friends on here, I try to daily comment on at least one of their post. Just to let them know someone notices their achievement or their issue for the day. In return I'd like the same courtesy, and when I notice for weeks there are no responses on my comments I do a clear out of those persons. I'd rather have 5-6 friends who show they are connected with me than 50 that show nothing.

    I don't say what you want to hear, I try my best to be honest with you. If you ask I am going to say it like it is. I know if I say something and I am asking your opinion I want honesty. So if you want someone like this on your page, please add me. If not I do understand. Have a great Sunday and good luck with your adventure to a healthier you.
