Hi. I'm new again on MFP and am looking for friends to add to so we can help each other with our fitness goals. I welcome any friends but I love having people in my feed with similar weight/height ratio as me. I find it very motivating! Ad me please!

    I'm similar but I'm 5'10", slightly heavier and recovering from illness so logging but no activity again, yet!

    I believe in losing slowly and only doing a small cut to reach my goals in a sensible manner so I eat what I like within reason always happy to find people that are similar.

    Hi, I'm new to MFP. I actually signed up this past July and haven't lost a pound! I've come to realize it takes more than just signing up! Right! I'm so discouraged... I'm 5'8 and weigh 238 lbs. I can't believe I just shared that. I've never told anyone. It's embarrassing. I gained about 12 lbs this past spring while recovering from surgery and it decided to stay. I suffer from moderate to severe arthritis, therefore my physical abilities are limited to a stationary bike, which I have set up in my living room! My grandson will be graduating from High School next spring and I want so badly to attend his graduation without embarrassing him or myself, for that matter. So this is my motivation! I was told that by making a statement of this nature, I would be setting myself on the right track, so... here I go!

    Not embarrassing. Good luck. I thought the same way but stick to it and everything in moderation.
