in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! I am 38 years old 212 lbs 5'5. I am looking for as much support as I can get! I have been trying to lose weight for a while now and unfortunately I keep failing:( my weight bothers me terribly! My self esteem is down, I want to look and feel better about myself. I want to be healthy and have more energy! I know most of you can relate. I want this!! Is there anyone who can be my weightloss buddy and keep in touch with me on a daily basis. Someone who is dependable? Please help!

    Hi! I am 46 and only had 20 pounds to lose. Trust me - that 20 seemed unreachable but I made it! I have been in maintenance for about 1 month. I log daily and would be happy to cheer you on! Feel free to add me.

    Hi Bren180! I am in your exact boat! Feel free to add me. I'm new to this as well [even though it says I joined a while ago] - I continue to fall off the wagon but I am determined this time. I will do my best to keep in touch with you if you do the same for me! :)

    You can do it! I'm 5'3 and weighed 220 lbs when I started in Sept. 4, 2013. With patience and commitment, I am now 196 lbs. all because of MFP. What did I do? I just log everyday and started to watch out for what I eat. My only exercise so far is riding the stationary bike and doing 10,000 steps whenever I can.

    I myself want to feel good to boost my esteem. It won't be an easy journey but what the heck, it can be fun as you learn about food and calories.

    Add me up as buddy.
