20something with 40-50lbs to lose

I am in my late twenties with 40 to 50 pounds to lose. I was once very active on MFP, but have since slipped off the wagon, along with most of my MFP friends.

Now I'm looking for new friends to stay on track with me as I get back into this.

2014 is the year. Who's in?

    hey all,

    I could do with some help with motivation!

    I'm 27, my height is 5'6 weighing in at 202lbs I've tried losing weight before and do quite well for a month then fall of the wagon big time and tend to get bigger then what I started. Not Good!

    This will be the first time I've ever shared my progress which is what I'm hoping might be the key!

    If anyone can help it would be a massive support.

    Thanks
    Sara :D

    Good gosh your story could be that of my very own, SADLY my 20's are but a distant memory and I find myself at the wrong end of my 30's, but it would be an honour and a privilege to motivate and support such a noble endeavour!:glasses:

    I shall friend request you and see where this leads!

    Hey everybody! I could also benefit from some camaraderie- I'm 26, 215 and my goal is to be 150ish by summer.
  • Pretty much the same as me! I to used to use MFP but ended up stopping it for a reason I cannot remember (Probably to lazy to log) but now I intend to really take the logging seriously :)
    I hope you can achieve your goals, I am looking to lose 26lbs so hopefully we can help each other out :)

    I also used to be on every day faithfully. But had a really bad 2013. Lost my dog of 17 years, 2 relatives, and my very best friend right before Christmas. So i really got off track. But i'm back and hopefully motivated enough to stay on track this time.
  • This is great! It's so nice to see that there are so many in the same boat. We can do this!!
  • I'm in.

    I was on a diet in HS. Lost a good amount of weight, but I've put 60lbs back on since then. In 2013, I did that same diet and lost some weight, but switched to MFP a bout a week ago. I'm in my 20s as well, but I only want to lose 20-30 more pounds, If that's okay I'm in too. Plus, I'm new to MFP and could use some friends. :)
  • seems like im in the same boat too! New to MFP - would love to lose 50-60 lbs!
    Just seems that once i get started something happens and i fall off the bandwagon. Then i get back to my original start :/

    Hi guys. Im Jessica and I just signed up. Could use some friends to help me stay motivated.
  • It's great that there are so many of us! Any others?
  • Oh yes I'm here as well... Lol been a member since 2010 when I lost about 60 pounds when someone T boned me and I glad that 60 plus fourty... Been on the boat again since late April due to diabetes and have lost 45 so far my goal by April is to lose my other twenty plus for my year. Which will leave me with half the weight still to loose... Taking it slow about 1.5 pounds a week with a few bad weeks throughout... But as long as you get back on the boat that's all that matters my goal is to loose the other 80 pounds and to be happy and healthy
