in Introduce Yourself
I don't know why others are getting responses and I am not, so I will try again. This is my second day here and I am ready to lose atleast 70 pounds. I have already lost 10 pounds and 3 inches. I have moved to another State and have no friends here. I am concentrating on losing this weight and then finding a job. I know i will meet people, I just have to get out more. I joined a fitness gym and have been going 5 times a week faithfully for 2 months.
My husband and my 3 children ages ranging from 20-25 years are my greatest support. But I want to meet others on this journey who can encourage me as well as give me any tips.
I am literally starting my life over (if you only knew my testimony). Ever heard of Breaking Amish? Well, I wasn't Amish but close.
Sorry if I sound whiny, didn't mean to. :)

    Hello Sandy. You sound a lot like me. I have four kids 19-23. Since they are all out of the house, it's similar to starting a new life. I am wanting to lose 40 lbs. I recently had back surgery, so my exercise is not at the same level. I am only released to do palates and I start that today.:smile: I also need all the support I can get.

    I've been logging for a couple weeks now but haven't filled out my profile or started posting until now. Your post inspired me to start! First let me say you don't look old enough to have kids in their 20s! ; ) Second, congrats on sticking with the gym - I haven't yet managed to do that myself. I'm trying to lose around 50 pounds myself. Hope we keep in touch.

    You can also send requests yourself to people you find interesting on the forums. Sometimes its easier to find like minded people that way rather than hoping they will notice and send you a request.

    Do a forum search for your state. There are plenty of "Anyone from _________?" threads. Also, posting in the forums helps you meet people. Good luck, OP!

    Add me as well...working on losing about 80 lbs myself...have lost some already but the journey is continuing. I welcome any new friend additions...motivation and support is key!! I am 49, have 2 kids (24 & 19), married 29 years and have 2 beagles and 2 cats. I work full time outside the home plus we own a service business so help with nights and weekend calls as well as all the bookwork. I am currently doing a 12 week weight with little cardio program and watching my diet. I am in week 3 and have really just started logging food again. Took a bit of a break but am ready to hit it hard now!

    I joined MFP about a month ago and feel the same way sometimes, ignored. :sad: Add me and we'll support each other. I'm about 40% to my goal...I haven't done the math, actually but I know I've come along way tho' not quite half way there. I still have about 90 pounds to goal. Sometimes the community just needs to get to know you a bit and needs to know that you are going to stick it out. Best of luck to you! :flowerforyou:

    PS....okay, I couldn't post this without doing the math, so here it is: I am 37.8% of the way to goal. (40%, in my head was pretty darned close! :wink: )
