in Getting Started
I really want friends who have a lot to lose still or are near where I am. I want friends who are trying to lose a lot of weight. I keep finding myself with friends who are like 140 or 100 trying to get to 98. I don't judge and whatever your journey is is wonderful, but I can't relate to people who are not or haven't been at this point or anywhere near this, or people who have their calories set to 1200 and never have a problem staying under. I have such a hard time staying under my calories!! Just looking for support guys :)

    Right here, you can hit me up and friend me if you want. I'm still sort of new though, and I don't know how "motivational" I am, but I'm always looking for friends in the 100+ club, for similar reasons.

    I started my journey last year at 321 lbs and I am now down to 216.6 lbs. I can totally relate to your dilemma. I even started removing people from my friends list because of it. You gotta be realistic and committed! Feel free to add me if you want. I am not perfect, nor has my journey been, but I am doing it. :)

    I am in the same 'boat' so to speak. I have lost 142 but would like to lose at least 80 more pounds.
    It is a struggle everyday but if you set your mind to it, you can do it. This site and the people on it are amazing. The support I get from everyone helps me keep going.

    Feel free to add me (anyone who wants too) if you would like. I log in every single day and log my food and stuff.

    I started this journey at 323! I'm still not sure how that happened. I just hit a big milestone this week by losing 50lbs. I am now around 271. I have a long way still to go, but I feel confident that if I stick to the program, I can make this happen. Anyone can feel free to add me!

    I'm 37, 5'9, high weight of 251, started MFP at 244.4. My first goal is to get 175 and then see if I want to go further or not. The top of my healthy BMI is 165, but I've been so overweight for so long, that I don't know if 165 is realistic for me or not. The last time I weighed under 200lbs I was 27!

    I log everyday (although my diary isn't open right now - I have it connected to the Achievemint website and am not sure how to have it both connected to the website and open to public) and also check in on the forums/blogs most days.

    Feel free to add me! :)

    Started at 245 3 weeks ago, ultimately want to get to 168 or so, in this for the long haul. Setting small targets rather than everything at once. so my first goal is 21 lbs by 31st December, I find it easier to look at it this way than setting a big number goal.

    Going 330 to 200 as a goal. 24 pounds down now! I like to have people with similar goals around.

    I'm just starting today. Let's say I'm closer to 300 than to 250 but will not go over 300! I did not start until dinner tonight but am serious enough to tell my husband he is eating right too! I want to lose until I look and feel better. I've just turned 50 and want to lose 2lbs a week if I can. I'm going to start out with 15 min daily on my exercise bike and work it up.
