    I am also just getting started. I do zumba 2 x's a week and I have changed my diet. I love this food diary log. It is really helping me to be even more aware of how much I am eating. I have lost 7 pds in the last month. I am so excited.

    I seem to request friends with people and then they do not comment, encourage or converse with me. I have no problem encouraging you but I get tired of encouraging people who refuse to interact back with me. It is team US not team *you*.

    Anyone who wants to join team US, please do add me. I have no problem with returning the love :)

    I'd love to be added (by the OP and by everyone in this thread!)
    I'm trying to lose 20 lbs and I think the journey would be so much better if I could do it with some friends:)

I would love to encourage you in any way I can! Good luck! And, if anyone out there would like to add me as well, please do! I know I will need some encouragement and advice too! Thanks!

    Hi All,

    I need the motivation too!! I need friends to kick my butt into action and espescially keep me in check when the weekend starts.
    Thats really hard for me.

    Please add me. I cant do this alone.

    I just joined yesterday and I think is it SO awesome that there's a huge group of people out there trying to stay healthy. I am currently at 226(It fluctuates from day to day of course). I've been pretty sedentary for a while now(just had my second son back in April and didn't lose the baby weight!) but I'm signed up for my first 5k so now I'm off and running towards my goal(bad joke, I know). If any of you would like to add me I do work full time but I am a social media junkie and you will see me on here quite often. :)

    I really need friends and support. I am the only one of my friends with a weight issue. I am miserable in my own skin. I have to do this for my health....mental and physical...I have only had a weigh issue since the birth of my second child....he is 12....YEARS old. I am so out of shape. I cannot seem to stick with anything. I would love supportive group of MFP friends. How does it work...If you add me then how do we keep In touch? via a thread or a group? New to how this works...though I signed up a while ago...I have not been consistent. I am at my highest weight ever and weigh more than I did at 9mo pregnant. Committing today!!!! I have about 60-70 pounds to lose and it seems like MOUNT EVEREST!
    Thanks in advance.

    Anyone feel free to add me! I'm looking for encouraging friends as well. I just had to do a major friends overhaul as my relationships felt a little one side. I'd try to support and encourage and for the most part all I heard back is crickets.

    I really wanna meet my goals and love helping people reach theirs.

    I had to do a friend overhaul as well. mine overhaul was a little drastic, as i ended up starting a whole new account. I might send some requests your way.. dont mind my blank profile... I will be adding to it shortly.

    i am very supportive, and when im online... im always making sure to give kudos where it is needed!

    CHEERS to supportive friends!!

    I'm in for mutual support and weight loss encouragement!
    It's easy to not talk to people about losing weight, and get discouraged by those who aren't on a body transformation!

    I'm eating 1,200 calories a day, low carbs (have small portion of brown carbs in the afternoon) and try to hit the gym 3 - 4 times a week and drink lots and lots of water.
    I've already noticed a difference.

    My biggest off put was when gaining muscle, and not seeing any difference on the scales. However that didn't make a difference to how I look visually, as my clothes feel looser and better fitting.

    :smile:

    Hello!

    I'm just getting started on my weight loss journey and am looking for some friends on here that actually would like to talk and get to know each other! I prefer to have people who actually know a bit about who I am cheering me on, and vice versa!
    If anyone is interested in actually getting to know someone supporting them, feel free to add me! :)

    I'm totally like that. I usually respond to status updates and I'm always around for tips and encouragement. If you don't reach out though, I'm not really one to write "WTG" every day you meet your calorie goal.

    All you lovely folks out there, please feel free to add me as well. :)
