Looking for friends that won't delete me if I slack off

in Introduce Yourself
What the hell? I develop "online relationships" with these people and I disappear for a month or two tops and get deleted? I don't understand that. I mean, a year, six months, yea... anyway, if you want a friend that is on a journey, albeit not a perfect one, I'm your gal. I am back on track again, and "trying" is not an option this time. I want it to be a lifestyle, not a diet. I am getting older (41) and it's time to stop f*cking around.
I am 5'5" and I started at 185 in Dec 2012. Got down to 150 June 2013 (that's 35 pounds in 7 months) and MFP was a MAJOR player in that accomplishment. I gained back 11 of those pounds in a quick couple months. I feel that I will remain committed to my health for the long term this time because I have collected enough evidence about my eating habits. Thanks for reading.

    You sound just like me. I too go missing for awhile. I don't know if I can figure out how to add someone? Do you know how.

    Hey, thanks, I sent you a friend request. Click at the little person icon at the top of your screen:) Unless you're on a phone?

    I usually try this on my own, but that has not worked for me. I just started back yesterday. I will be your friend, and not delete you.

    I feel the same way, ladies. I'm open to new friends who are in this for the long haul.

    I never had a community like this, until now. I started exercising 16 months ago! I wish I knew about this great site ....



    I didn't think I could do it ..I was so big, I couldn't even fit into a 3x anymore. Now I'm in a Small-Med-Max Large....If I can do it ..YOU CAN! I worked out at home constantly as being busy father..


    I started with 10 sit ups a day sixteen months ago, continued to gradually increase the sits up! Started using barbells! Doing these reps twice a day for 12 months only doing 100 in the morning 100 at night ..I lost over 183 Pounds! I still ate what I wanted, but it's what I want to work off! I never though I'd have a six pack, but this hasn't taken long at all! I was too over weight to even tie my shoes or walk up the stairs without sweating! If anyone is reading this who was me a year and a half ago! Start with basic situps! I'm a father of three! So were always busy! If you can eat a bag of chips, you can afford 5 minutes a day for sit ups ...No one ever though I would loose the weight!Everyone - give it a shot ....thanks for all of the motivational help!

    BTW - No Shakes, nothing extra. Only vitamins! C,D,B12...


    P.S....Life is too short! Everyone deserves happiness!

    I would like to add you as friend. I feel the same as you about wanting to make this a life change. I am older than you, 53, but not too old to make a change. I found this site a while back, but am just starting to utilize it. I would love to have the support of others.

    You sound like me, except I think I have disappeared quite a few more times. Not everyone is able to jump all in and stay 100% dedicated. Sometimes it take a few tries before it sticks. Feel free to add me if you would like.

    Feel free to add me as well. I won't delete anyone and I'm the same way - sometimes life or work interferes and I disappear for a while.

    I think it's natural to go missing on here from time to time, I've 'restarted' quite a bit! No one's perfect. I'm happy to have more friends if anyone feels like adding me :)

    Hi any here may add me..I don't delete. Especially since ebbing and flowing is common in the weight LSD journey. Have done it myself.
