I need some friends!!! :)

Hi,
Not new to MFP but starting over...again. I gained back what I lost so I am back at square one. I have 100 (gasp) pounds to lose so if anyone wants to do this together and has a chunk to lose also, please be my friend! Lol.

    feel free to add me but i only offer support to those that give me mutual support, very good luck with your journey you can do this
  • I was going to just try to do this myself, but I think I need the accountability to other people and having people see my diary.

    Hi! My name is Mary but my friends call me Penny. I love, love, love MFP and the friends that I have found that motivate and inspire me. I am 48 years old, married for 27 1/2 years, have one son who is 25 and two dogs, boxers, Joe and Jasper. I have lost a bit but still have over 100 pounds to lose. I am on a journey to change my life style. NOT a diet. That is a four letter word to me. My motto is, "ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE MEAL, ONE POUND AT A TIME. THAT'S HOW I HAVE TO DO IT!!" I try not to look at the big picture at this point because when you have a lot of weight to loss it can become overwhelming. Well for me anyway. So...I try my best to live that motto. Feel free to add me if you would like. It's a great place with great people. Have a wonderful day!

    Hi. I'm just starting as well. I have 62 lbs to lose to get me below 200 lbs, so I'm really trying to do my best to stay focused. Please be encouraged. I will be posting each day as I can to help you stay motivated as well as keep myself motivated. You can do this, just remember that.
  • Hi there!

    I have a good chunk to lose and am on here frequently. Take things one day at a time... the weight will come off if you keep chiseling away at it :smile:

    One more thing, remember to track everything you eat and drink. I lost back in 2005 and 2010, but went back to my old normal, instead of imbracing my new normal; my new way of eating. So, I'm starting over again just like you. I have been back on MFP for 2 weeks now. Remember "If but bit it, write it!" TRACK, TRACK, TRACK........You can reach your goal, just stay focused!

    Good Morning.

    You will find plenty of support here at MFP but it all focuses on you to make the lifestyle change and commitment. I started back in August and it has been a great feeling to change the way I feel (oh and looking better is nice).

    Feel free to add me (or anybody else).

    I just wanted to drop in and say it's great that you are trying again.

    It's easy to go back to the way we used to be. I've gained back some of the weight I lost. We have to remember that these changes are going to be something we do every day forever. Keep working at it.

    Good luck!
  • Hi! I don't have that much further to go, but I would say I've come a long way. I have learned a lot on my journey and would love to help you through yours!
