Hi, my name is Jenna
About a year and a half ago, I was a dedicated MFPer and lost about 70 lbs. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and gained about 40 back.
I'm serious about losing weight this time around again, and I would like some buddies so we can help motivate each other!
Feel free to add me, I would love to get to know you!

    i just posted that I am looking for a buddy.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1115444-wanna-be-my-buddy

    i had a cpl people add me as friends but with no message. :ohwell: So that's not what i'm looking for.

    I'd be glad to be your buddy if this sounds ok with you.

    Hi all! Feel free to add me! Like you, I was on MFP about 3 years ago and lost about twenty pounds. I fell off thinking I could continue alone and I was wrong. I gained most of it back(probably around 14 pounds or so). I started up again about 6 months ago and I have been able to lose more weight than I ever have... I truly believe it is because of the support system that I have one here.

    Hey there, I could use some more buddies, too! I've been using mfp a lot for a few months now but I stopped a few weeks ago after a messy breakup and now I have to start all over again. I'll add you and we can get each other back on track!

    I'm in the same situation as many of you - having gained back the previous loss, although in my case the gain was over more than a year... Time to get it off again!

    I'd be happy to support you and anyone else. I am on everyday. Even now I'm laid up in the hospital on a liquid diet and I insist on logging everything just because I don't want to fall off again...but I will send you a request and anyone else in need of support I'd be happy to help you too just sent me a request. I've found that with mfp the saying the more the merrier is so true. :D

    Hi Jenna!

    I'm yuyu, nice to meet you!

    I think that it's amazing you kept over 30 pounds off though! I think since you've done it once, you kind of know how the game should go. Just making it a permanant change is your new goal I guess!

    I would love to have some friends here to encourage each other so please be my friend :D

    Thanks!
