in Introduce Yourself
Hello all! I am a thirty-two year old female and I successfully lost thirty pounds about a year-and-a-half ago. It was part of a group setting and we had weekly weigh-ins. I used myfitnesspal app with great success and won the weigh-in competition. Unfortunately, I have regained all the weight back and I am great at making excuses. I am ready to do this again, but need friends to keep me accountable on here.
I would love to have friends who are in a similar boat as me - people who are already marathon runners (I admire them) are intimidating for me. Please get back to me and I'll figure out how to add friends. If I am not logging in my food journal, call me out on it. Thanks!

    Hi Allie
    I am a 60 yr old female who has 24 lbs to loose. I have currently lost 16 labs from when I started in Dec last year. My daughter, niece and I had a contest to see who could loose the most in 3 months but we extended our time to April 1st. If you would like to add me I could also use the motivation. I would love to beat these girls at weight loss. I haven't checked in daily but I will start if you add me.
    I win also try to keep my posting of my goals current. I know this will be a great help to me.
    My name is Duke, look forward to hearing from you

    Thank you to all who have responded and friended me! I am thrilled!
    Earlier today, I almost joined weight watchers, because I really feel like I need
    a friend/community aspect with accountability. I had no idea myfitnesspal members
    would reach out to me the way they have. Thank you!

    I also put down a goal of 30 pounds, and have lost a little more then a pound, so I have a long way to go. I have lost and regained my weight more times then I remember. I have not figured out how to add people as friends on this site, but I would also very much like to get some support form other people.

    Hi!!! I am just joining the community today. I have 35 pound to lose as well so I am excited to see that so many of you have the same goals! I have been trying to do things pretty much on my own, but I could really use the accountability. Feel free to add me (and anyone else is free to as well!)

    Hey guys good luck with your goals! If you ever need any questions answered or motivation/accountability give me a shout. I am currently cutting down but I do every spring so its nothing new to me. Just discovered this app and thought it was an easy way to track my macros. The added bonus was seeing all you guys supporting each other on here. Good luck on reaching your goals and a healthy lifestyle!!!!
