    Hello All,

    My name is Lacie, 30 years old, sighhh lol. I am a mother of one and a wife to an amazing, supportive husband. Last year I used this site and lost a whopping 55 lbs! :) It was the BEST feeling in the world. I stopped exercising and stopped logging in to MFP and have gained 15lbs back :(. I guess that's not a HUGE amount, but it is enough to make me upset. I have decided that I am the ONLY one that can fix my weight gain and I have re-joined MFP. Unfortunately I lost all of my information previously loaded because I cannot remember the username and password, so I created a new account and am looking for some motivators and friends :)

    Add me :)

    I am 5'5" and currently 169/171 lbs. I am looking to get back to 150ish.

    Nice to meet you all!

    Hi, I'm Selina from the UK. Looking to lose about 30 pounds. Managed to lose 40 on here last year but then got a promotion at work which meant a lot more socialising and put 20 back on :( Anyone feel free to add me for support and encouragement :) Coming up to 30 in 5 months and want to get back into that bikini for my celebrations!! :)

    Hiya!
    I'm Ellie, I'm 18 and I'm from Birmingham, England. My short term goal is to lose 23lbs, possibly going to go for another 10lbs after that but I'm going to see how I look and feel when I get there. I've just joined my fitness pal and I'll cheer on anyone who I become friends with on here, so feel free to add me if you'd like to :)

    Hi everyone! I'm Carmela, I'm Italian and I'm looking to lose about 7 kg/15 lbs. I've actually already lost weight thanks to myfitnesspal. Now I'm living in Birmingham, UK. I moved to England two weeks ago and I gained 1/2 kg. I'm alone here, I have no friends yet and my English isn't very good but I don't want to gain all the weight I've lost so I'm trying to find someone who can help and support me, obviously I'll do the same. :)

    I'm sorry for my bad English!

    Anyway feel free to add me and to text me, we can help each other in this journey. :)

    Hi, Mellissa. I'm Jaycie. I started my journey August 1st. I'm 5'6 and WAS also 230lbs. I'm down to 204. So far--weightloss has been pretty easy. I've been eating about 1200 calories a day and working out as much as possible. I actually LIKE to run now. Something I absolutely hated when I was in the military!!!!! I'm 37yrs old--you are 21. I imagine you will have a much more productive and successful go at this! I'm here to help in anyway possible. My goal is 175 by April. **Fingers crossed* and working very hard!!!!

    Hi everyone I'm Jody. I started Really trying about 5weeks ago and am down 12lbs but still have 68 to go. :) I do weight lifting and Jazzercise right now and am sore every day so it must be working lol. Oh and I'm 30 as much as I don't want to admit that cause I so don't feel it. ;) I am loving MFP and wish I would have found it sooner, It really helps. I would love to be friends with anyone and everyone interested in just gaining a better quality of life. I wish you all the best with your goals. YOU CAN DO IT!!

    My name is Phil. I'm 50, and from North Carolina. I'm wanting to lose 60 pounds or so to start out and see where i am, and how I feel. Studies show i should be around the 175 range, but I'm shooting for 199 and then re-evaluate. Obviously, I'm at 260 now and have recently started walking 60 mins a day. My excercise goal is 15,000 steps a day (fitbit). I've been recording what I eat and will be reducing calorie intake after I see the doctor on thursday. Any encouragers/motivators welcome. Thanks!

    Hi everybody,

    so I have started like 5 months ago and lost around 5 kg, but I have another 7 to go. Now Im in South Sudan working as a doctor (gyn/ob) and food is horrible, so its easy to loose. What Im afraid is, that when I come home, I will be in old bad habits again. But I think with a little support we all can do it together! :)
    Good luck in your journey!
