in Motivation and Support
Hi all!

My news feed is getting very slow these days so I'm looking for some new friends to add to help motivate and keep me trucking along. I love the enthusiasm of newbies, but it gets discouraging to watch the petering out process over and over again so I'm looking for some new friends to add that have been at this for 6 months or more and still have a ways to go.

I'm in the slow and steady wins the race camp. My weight loss can be erratic and very slow at times, but I'm still in the race! We're trying to figure out the exact cause of my thyroid issues and hopefully that will resolve over the coming months.

If you're interested, I'd love to have you!

    Actually, I was like many of the newbies. Joined and then lost enthusiasm. I got serious again this past Jan after a health scare. I have logged in every day since. I am losing weight super slowly, but I am making changes to last a lifetime. Anyone can be my friend. I like supportive friends and not ones who nitpick my diary. I am human and sometimes I backslide, but I do log all my foods.

    I've been here for 4 months... I know that's not the criteria you're looking for, but I'm also getting discouraged by so many newbies petering out. Add me if you'd like. I'm doing slow and steady wins the race too! :flowerforyou:

    I've been here since January and not looking to quit anytime - this is a life style and I cannot be trusted without accountability or it will all start to come back again. So feel free to add me. I don't always comment on every automated post but almost always on personal comments/questions suggestions.

    I've been logging since marchish? I am a very regular logger and like having lots of friends. I am transitioning to maintenance, but still log all foods and exercise and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Feel free to add me!

    I've logged 145 days straight so I don't exactly qualify for the 6 months. But I will be here a while. Anyone can send a request.

    Have a super great day everyone!

    Add me. My ticker says 20 days, but I had 220 before that, and lost them--well let them go really so I could get a fresh start :smile:

    You want slow and steady? I've been here just over 400 days. I've lost 16 pounds, 2 pant sizes and have gone from an XL top to a medium. I'm not really concerned with the number on the scale (though I log it each time I hit a new low). I don't care HOW MUCH I weigh as long as I am healthy and strong and look like it. Who knows what that weight will turn out to be. I no longer log my food, but feel I have a pretty good grasp on proper diet at this point and I lift heavy weights 3 times a week.

    I've been here for 18 months. Most of my friends have been slowly drifting away. I'm not so much in "losing" mode anymore, but I can provide positive encouragement and support! My current goals are to tone , tighten, and eat healthy. I'm also always looking for healthy, family-friendly meals as my 2 and 5 year old children are very picky.

    Hello! I've been taking my time on this as of lately (was in a rush when I started, but learned to just "let it happen" rather than pushing it to the breaking point and suffering). I am on daily and try to log as often. I joined last January but have missed days here and there as my ticker will say. :laugh:

    Over 200 days in a row but I've been on here since November(around Thanksgiving although currently it says October but trust me it was around Nov) and don't plan on going anywhere any time soon, although my ticker shows I only have a few more pounds to go, I am going to reset it when I reach that goal. I want to lose a total of 75 to 85 pounds depending on how I feel physically and such when I get down to the 75 pound mark.
