in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Lauren and I'm not brand new to My Fitness Pal but I never explored the social aspect of it, wasn't consistent with the logging of my foods and exercise. Thus I didn't lose the weight. This time I would like to do things differently and actually make some buddies to be accountable to and use the site the way that it was intended. My goal is to lose roughly 60 lbs, Going from 198 to 135 and I plan to make it happen 2 pounds a week. I've changed my diet into a high protein, low carb diet and shoot for 30 minutes or more of exercise a day. I'm really sweet, really laid back and cool lets be friends!! If you are in my area, lets partner up and work out!!

    I've had a similiar experience before and trying to get plugged in better. The more accountability and motivation, the better the chances for success!

    Hi All!
    I am not new to MFP, but I am committed this time around. I have a hectic schedule so I need help in staying on top of tracking, eating and mostly excersise! I am looking to lose 50 lbs this year. I have set up ideal benchmarks for my weight loss, but ultimately I am ready to start feeling good about myself again even if the numbers dont quite add up!

    Good luck to all and here is to hopefully some new like minded friends. :)

    Hey all,

    I probably won't be able to log everything all the time, but I am totally committed! Would love to have more people to be accountable to even if it's not logging in, but simply reporting progress.

    Hi, I have been on here for a while and have lost 15 pounds. Please add me as your friend...definitely would love some support from others. I would love to loose 50 more pounds before July (son getting married), but I realistically would love to have a consistent weight loss of 2 pounds per week. I don't want to do any "fad" diets, but do want to live a healthy lifestyle that we can do in our family on a daily basis. Good luck to everyone on this journey to better health and weight loss!!!!

    I tried to do this without the social aspect and always seemed to fail. It's nice to be friends with others who encourage you and know what it's like. :)

    Hi Lauren and everyone else! I signed up a long time ago but didn't stick with it. I'm back and committed this time and would like to lose about 45 pounds at 1.5 pounds per week. My husband gave me a fitbit for Christmas and I'm loving it so far. I'm definitely motivated by accountability so I would love some friends to be accountable to and to support along the way.
