Hi,
I am new to this site, but not new to trying to lose weight. I have recently joined the site after trying to do it on my own. I had created a spreadsheet and was keeping track of all of my foods and calories, but find it difficult to keep it up and when I saw this site was free and it had loads of information I was all over it!
About me, I am 35 and I have a 17 year old daughter who is very active and plays volleyball. She has been a big help this week with getting me off my butt and doing workouts with me! I have been trying to lose weight for years. I have been successful in the past with WW, but I don't feel I learned what I should have because as soon as I stopped, I gained it back and then some.
I really want to succeed and would love to have some friends that I can get to know and where we can share our successes!
Thank you!

Welcome!
I did WW in the past and it's worked but I didn't keep the weight off after stopping. I enjoy MFP with it being easy to use and free of course. I'm 29 and my goal is to lose 20 lbs.
Add me if you would like.0 -
Welcome! This journey is better with a little help from friends! Since I seem to have lost a few active friends (folks have stopped logging in) I'm happy to add some new ones (especially when their name is similar to mine).0

Feel free to friend request me. I only ask for the same in return - a little motivation and support and an occasional nudge in the right direction - or a shove if that's what it takes! Cheers.0

Feel free to add me. I log in daily.0

HI I'm Dana. Just restarted my weight loss journey today. My goal is 80-90 lbs. I definitely need the support so any friends that are in the same boat and looking for mutual support please add me. I log in daily!

Hi Jenn! I am on daily. Feel free to add me, and send a message me. I love to discuss weight loss ideas! Oh, did the WW plan also before.0

I joined this site over a year ago and wasn't serious about it. I've been back a couple of months now and doing it regularly. I'm definitely getting results. You can add me if you like.0

I just joined tonight as well! Looking for people on the same journey! Good luck to all! So far, this site is way easy to use. We'll see!0

I'm fairly new here, but I log in daily and track everything. Feel free to add me! This has been a great place for support and encouragement.0

Hey,
I am looking for support because I have hormonal imbalance therefore making it hard to control my urges (sweet-Salty-Fatigue) so thought if I surround myself with people like you then it's a step forward and with your support and stories I will be successful.
Thank you in advance
Here we go

Hi! I want to lose 19 pounds, and am looking for friends to join me on the journey. I'm 38 years old, and have gotten down to goal weight before using a lower carb approach, but over the last 2 years, my weight has crept up from where I want it to be. I plan to jog a 5K this May to help things along.0

I can always use more supportive friends. I'm just getting started, as well. Add me0

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate all of the comments and encouragement. This makes me even more confident that I am going to make a real change! I can't wait to hear what everyone has to offer!0

Hi there.
I'm currently 39. Ye gods... how did that happen??? I don't have my own kids, but I have a LOT of children in my life. I like that they are all returnable at the end of the day, and I get my deposit back if I don't break them.
I am happy to have more supportive people here too.
If anyone from here sends me a friend request, I will approve it and do my best to send words of encouragement.0 -
I've been on for a couple of months now and love the tracking and the support. Feel free to send me a friend invite.0
-
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want to be able to look in the mirror and feel confident in myself; take control back over my body!0
-
hey all feel free to add if you want more sup port0
-
You have taken the first and hardest step! Now to just keep going, one day at a time, you can do it!
I'd love to have more friends as well, I went at it solo for a year and now that I've started adding friends I'm realizing that it really can make a difference, even just to have people who "get" it. No one around me IRL seems to have the same struggles, and I felt really alone. I sent you a FR!0 -
Welcome !
Ive been on this site for almost a year now, and it has been a good help for me. I log in daily, so if you need support you can add me

Hi Everyone- I'm new here too and looking for friends to encourage and be encouraged by. My goal is to lose 40 pounds and run an entire 5K. (I have ran/walked 5K's in the past) If anyone wants to add me that would be great! I'm in Oregon by the way0
