in Introduce Yourself
Hello all, my name is Tyler, and I'm in need of some new friends (that sounded a little like a self help intro.....hmmmm). I only have a few friends now, and only one of them acknowledges my existence. Over the past two years I lost a little over 70 pounds, then a few months ago, I decided I had lost enough and tried and bulk up a little. Instead of building muscle, I fell off the horse completely and put about 15 pounds of fat back on. I'm back on the horse for now, but am struggling to stay motivated due to no interaction amongst my so called friends on here, and absolutely no support in real life. But anywho, that's my sob story, and even if you don't want to add me, thanks for looking,

    Hello Tyler. Congrats on doing a fantastic job the first time and best of luck this time around. It's tough do do this alone at times and sucks when your're on a site for support and your "friends" don't do much of it. Hope this post brings you lots of new friends! You did it before and can definitely do it again! I'm active on MFP and in supporting my Pals, will send a request. = )

    Hi Tyler - my name is Sharon - I started MFP almost 2 years ago - lost a little over 50 pounds in about 6 months and then no matter what I did - was stuck. Here comes my sob story...so then I fell off that horse - had some life challenges, work got crazy blah, blah. I have put back on what I lost and then some - but I am ready to start again. I had friends out here - many with more drama than I cared to listen to. Not here to listen to wife/husband/mom issues. Here to share what works for me, fitness thoughts and food that I find along the way that is healthy and good. Goal is to drop 100 pounds by 7/1/14. Good to meet you.

    Hey TS3G,
    I tend to get on and off the Horse from time to time as well. I to am trying to get back on and stay on so I understand what you're talking about.

    Lets give each other a shot. Honestly, I have found this site works really well when you are willing to commit to it tracking food and responding to friends.

    Here's a little about me. Have always struggled with my weight. In comparison to some, I probably don't have a weight issue but in reality I'm really the only one who can make that call, right? My 20 pounds means as much to me as some people's 100 pounds or your 70. I'm a junk food eater so I try to keep that in check and I try to tell myself it's about moderation not deprivation. I love walking and do it a lot. It's a big part of my weight loss/maintenance.

    Again, I have found that when I'm on this site, I do my best.
