I need buddies who need to lose 50+ lbs

Hi everyone, I am currently 265 lbs and my goal is to lose 65lbs . I've been heavy all my life, but I am currently at my heaviest. I was just diagnosed with fatty liver so I am trying my best to be healthy and more active. I really need buddies so we can motivate each other. I am also graduating from college on May so I would also like to shed some pounds for that special day.

Please feel free to add me so we can walk through this journey together.

    I currently weigh 297 lbs. and my goal is to lose 147 lbs. I often discouraged and could use some buddies. I have my daughters college graduation in August, and would love to lose at least 60 lbs. of that.

    Welcome to MFP! I'm always in search of friends for motivation - I'm currently 229 (down from a start of 247) and I'm en route to a mid-term goal of 180. I'm turning 40 this year and am super dedicated to living better in a real, non-fad, non-deprivation way. I have five fabulous kiddos and work full time, so I have to juggle like a clown to get my five-to-six workouts in a week.

    I know we can ALL do this ... especially when we support each other!!!! ;)

    Had an injury and gained back most of my weight. I need to lose at least 50 and I need all the help I can get. I was running everyday and felt so good and now after the weight gain can barely walk across the room. Fighting plantar faschitis so right now running is out.
  • I would like to lose 60 lbs to get to a healthy weight. Would love some buddies to stay motivated, give and get tips. Would be happy to be your buddy as well.

    You can add me if you want. I started about three weeks ago and am currently down 22 pounds. Hoping to lose 100 though but would like to lose a total of 50 before summer.
  • I want to loose at least 115lbs. I have already lost 11lbs and I need buddies as well. It's is very difficult doing this on your own with so many temptations out there. I would love to add you and lets stay encouraged to get healthier by any means necessary!!! :flowerforyou:
  • Hi all I'm 48 and have been overwieght most of my life. My oldest brother passed away on October and I just decided I needed to try and make some life style changes. I joined this site was 215 when I started and am now 201.3...not setting long term goals but plan to keep going and need motivation.
    Hope we can all help each other

    You can add me!! I have lost 35 and have 48 more to go. I have been working on this for 1.75 years now. slow and steady
    is the pace. No backsliding. I spent the decade of my 40s being careless with my health. I am using the decade of my 50s
    taking care of myself.
