This is probably my third year making an account. I want to lose weight for the right reasons this time, but i have never actually connected with anyone on here. I would love to have a buddy who wants to lose weight as well, to somehow keep up the motivation, share exercise tips with, even meal plans ? If interested, please let me know :)

    I'm looking for the same thing! Made plenty of accounts in the past but never stuck to them. I would love to see if a buddy will help me lose the weight that I need too :)

    I sent you a message and added you as a friend. I totally get the feeling to need support; it can be so hard to do this by yourself!

    I could use a few extra friends too. I lost sight of my goal for a couple of months, but am ready to get back in action!

    Looking to lose 30 pounds also. I plan on going to the Air Force but the recruiter can't even put me into the system until I lose the weight. I'd love to make some friends on here and support and motivation. I am Areyanna or Arey for short. I will add and please add me. :)

    I'd definitely like to do this as well. Would it better to start a group or a separate thread in a more specific area?

    Here's my deal: 35, looking to lose 30 lbs. (I think), 5'9", currently 192 lbs. I've got some thyroid and insulin resistance issues that I'm working on with my doctor -- on both Nature-throid for the thyroid and metformin for insulin resistance (just started a few weeks ago). I eat low carb-ish (50-85 carbs/day) and started weight lifting (Starting Strength program 2 days/week right, now, will probably be 3 days/week in a few months). I also do Bikram yoga 2x/week and then walk (probably 15-25 miles/week).

    I'm hoping to lose weight, but I'm waaay more concerned with body size/composition. I'm currently about a size 12, but would like to be an 8 or maybe even 6 (not sure if this would be too skinny for me or not). I think that's probably a 30 lbs weight loss, but will adjust as necessary.

    Oh, and I'm getting married at the end of July, so I'm really hoping to reach it by then!

    I just joined tonight. I am looking for some motivation from people and to share success stories as well as some weaknesses that you have experienced. I don't know how to add people so please feel free to add me... Hope I can figure out this site after I spend more time looking at it. I would love to share meal ideas and what seems to be working for most people. I just started exercising doing Pilates and I really enjoy it. I am a mom of three rambunctious children so I am not only doing this to lose weight, I want to be healthy and set good eating habits for the whole family.
