    Feel free to add me! I've got about 130lbs to lose to my goal weight, and then another 15 or so to my ideal maintenance weight. I do journal pretty regularly, and my wife is amazing at coming up with delicious recipes that I am always willing to share.

I not making any resolutions they do not work for me. I am making a lifestyle change. I need this weight loss like we need air. I am 47 and have not lived my life to the fullest.

    I am always happy to help people down this path.

    I started out a couple years ago at 410 pounds when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I ended up getting down to the 320s and stayed there for a couple years before popping back up to 347.

    Last May my wife and I both began a more healthy path and haven't looked back. At that time I needed to lose 158 pounds and she about 130.

    This morning I am down 48 and she is down 46.

    We can all do this.

    I am an open book and always here to help and support.

    Happy New Year!

    some people can, others need support. Be nice or dont let the door hit ya. If you are not here to offer support, and know thats what she is looking for...well..no need.

    Hi! I still have about 100lbs to lose and I'm on MFP daily. I just had my 100th day on MFP and I've found wonderful support. I've had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life, and overcoming this challenge is one of the last things on my "bucket list". It's now or never for me, and failure's just NOT an option! Any of you reading this feel free to add me, and good luck to everyone in achieving your weight loss goals! Angelia

    I'm always in to pay it forward. The last year I have had some amazing support from my FL so I know how important it is to have a good support group. Feel free to add me if you think we can support each other.

    I'm on a journey to lose 164 pounds. Though my wife has much less to lose, she has joined me counting calories burned and consumed and that has made my journey so much easier, but I could do it on my own if I had to AND SO CAN YOU!

    I'll be rooting for you.

    You should be able to hold yourself accountable.

    Hi, I see you tell ppl that all the time ... I am so proud of you and your wonderful accomplishment! I do however have a question? Why do you think that motivation and assisting in others being accountable is such a SIN? It is one of the best tools around, if you have it at your disposal.
    Now, it should not be a CRUTCH by no means ... You have to do this for yourself ... But, what joy it is to have the support of someone in your corner. Everyone CAN use a little push!
    I use to attend AA meeting with a family member of mine and their moto is "to be accountable to God and one more person" ... Often times ppl are OVERWEIGHT simply because of an Unhealthy Attitude / Addiction to food ... just like Alcohol or drugs and to know that today, every move I make, every calorie I consume, Im going to confess it to God and to one other person, it really makes you think before you "UNCONSCIOUSLY" put a bite of food in your mouth.
    I know it helps me... My husband , kids, and I discuss what we have eaten daily and sometimes before I put something in my mouth, I think "DO I REALLY WANT TO HAVE TO CONFESS TO MY FAMILY THAT I LOST WILL POWER "AGAIN" AND ATE THE WRONG THINK OR THE WRONG AMOUNT".

    I know everyone is different and I don't knock your approach ( so please take no offense) all Im saying is "THIS IS THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR BEING A MEMBER OF MY FITNESS "PAL" ! its a website designed ( in my opinion) to support/ assist you in your weight loss journey.... and it just so happens to allow you to not only LOG your food and exercise, but accumulate friends "pals" that are on the same journey as yourself so that you can be each others support.
    I thank God for it AND for my MFP friends.
    Good Luck to all, GOD bless, and Happy NEW year!!!

    Feel free to add me ... I don't always eat right, I really dislike the "Food diary" and don't use it a lot of times ( But I do use my own personal diary) .... But I am motivated and determined I exercise (cardio and weight training) around 5 times a week . I am looking so forward to this summer and being "AT LEAST" 30 lbs lighter. I would love to be your friend ... Happy New Year and God Speed!

    Hi this is my first post as well as my first day on here. There's so much to learn but I'd love to join! I've got 73lbs to lose. I've set a goal to lose 50 by July 15th. So I need to lose approx. 1.7 lbs per week. I'd love to cheer you on and be accountable to someone as well.

    Feel free to add me. I've been down this road before. I can lose weight, just have trouble maintaining and keeping it off. This week I reached my all time high of 238. I'm down three pounds in 5 days already using MFP. I have about 90 to lose to get to the top of my healthy weight bracket, and then hopefully a little more to be in the middle of the range.

    If you truly want to be held accountable, be sure to have your diary open so your friends can see what you've been eating. This will help them tell you what you're doing great at and what you could change to do better.
