in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone! My name is Jean and I am 35 years old and coincidentally, I need to lose 35 lbs. I am new to the community as of today, although I've been using the MyFitnessPal app for tracking for quite awhile. I need some motivation because I only have a few people in my life that are trying to lose weight/ get healthy. I am not just looking for weight loss, but totally body, mind and spirit fitness. Looking for some like-minded folks to keep me accountable and also who would like/need the mutual encouragement!!!

    Feel free to add me as well. I'm 45 and want to lose between 40 and 50 so you could say... 45 lbs (LOL)
    I can use some support and will support you as well.

    Hi! I am 34 years old and need to lose about 20 pounds. I just found MFP and am really excited! Like you, I want to really transform the way I think and live my life so that a healthy lifestyle is a part of who I am. I also would love to have someone to keep me accountable. :smile:

    Feel free to add me! I'm on here daily. I'm trying to lose 14 more pounds of the 28 I gained when I moved in with my fiancé. It was MUCH easier putting the pounds on.:smile:

    Hi, I just began my journey on Monday of this week. I joined over a year ago but unable to use the site due to many reasons but able to now and looking forward to dropping some weight the right way (slowly in order to not gain it back) and keep it off. I am 50 and have no one else in the family dieting to cheer me on, and if you would like to add me please feel free to do so. I do not participate in drama of any kind as I try to keep a positive mind at all times and want to be happy for whatever days I have left on this earth :smile:

    Good luck and many blessings along your journey :happy:
