Hi,
My name is Jaime. I've started this journey over and over again, and always end up falling off the wagon. I think it is because I have so much weight I want to lose I get really discouraged. I would like to lose 90 pounds all together. If you have a lot of weight to lose please add me :) It would be nice to have friends who are having the same struggles. I'm going to stick to my guns and make a lifestyle change instead of considering it a diet this time!! Hope you want to join me:)

    Hello - My name is Kim and I've been dieting for as long as I can remember but I keep gaining weight not losing.... I'm sure we all know the feeling. I've got about 30 pounds to lose. I need to reach out to others who are struggling with a food addiction like myself. I've never belonged to any sort of message board and not real sure how it works..... just hoping to have others to share successes and struggles with. :-)

    I too am struggling with this weight lose thing, and I am somewhat of a stress eater. My problem is, that I just like to eat. I'm a little better now since I started MFP, but I still struggle. I was doing great when I first started MFP, but during the holiday season, I fell off the wagon, so to speak. I am now having a difficult time getting back on and staying. I have 30 more pounds to lose and need encouragement. I'm hoping I can encourage you and you in return can encourage me. Please friend me since we are aiming for the same goal.

    Thanks

    Hi I'm Amber, I'm in the same boat, I've tried to lose weight before and always have a problem sticking with it. I just moved back home after graduating college and it's been tough since no one else in my family has to worry about their weight and what they eat. I could really use anyone to help motivate me, give recipe ideas, and exercise ideas. I try to weigh myself to much and am focusing on trying to drop a pant size right now. I'd also really just like to get to a healthy BMI, meaning I need to lose between 30 and 60 pounds.

    Hey. My name is Catherine and I am about the same height 5'2 and I am also trying to lose weight. So far I have only lost fluctuating water weight (about two pounds) I really want to lose ten pounds of fat weight. I have done it before and I know I can do it again, but I am just having a hard time. I have managed to get past the "night cravings", but then when i wake up in the morning I am starving! It would be great to have someone support me in my goal. ^.^

    Hi Rhys!
    My name is Louise and I am trying to loose about 40 lbs. I did loose some 50 pounds last year but got some back of course (about 20 ) so it's enough! I've decided i wouldn't let myself go no more.
    Maybe we could help each other loosing weight... could we? It would certainly help me very much if you would!

    Thanks!

    Louise

    Hi,

    My name is Deb, and I have over 100 lbs. to lose. Like many of you, I've been playing the yo-yo game of losing and then regaining. I recently did the HCP diet (which I don't recommend) and lost 70 lbs, but because it doesn't give you the tools to maintain that loss, I gained it all back. I made my 2014 resolution to get my excess weight off, and get physically fit.

    I've started the YMCA - Not Me! Diabetes Prevention program which is really working for me. Basically I just watch my fat grams and try to keep it under and close to my goal per day. That automatically keeps my calories in check. Although, you do have to watch out for high-calorie zero fat items like soda. I've set a daily limit of 1500 calories a day, and keep my fat grams under, but close to 52 grams per day. The weight is coming off easily and I'm starting to feel better.

    It's not always easy though, and sometimes I just want to eat that bag of chips, ice cream, or candy. Having friends like you who are going through the same struggles as I am will really help me. I look forward to joining you all on this journey and see each of us accomplish our goals.

    Best Wishes!

    Hi, I need to lose about 50 pounds. I would be happy at 40 as well. I just gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl in December. I am breastfeeding and do stress eat and suffer from major sleep deprivation with my 8 week old girl. I hate all the pictures I've been in and I want to stop complaining and be active and lose the weight! I had a c section as well so I have had to wait a bit to exercise. It's going to be tough as I have a huge appetite and love sweets!

    Hi,
    My name is Abi and I have tried in the past to lose weight and so far have not made much progress. I have yo-yo'd for the past two years and I am done with it.
    I have a minimum of 70 lbs to lose (really I have more but that's where I want to start) anyone who wants support and can give support who feels the same pain can add me :).
