    I need to lose 90 - 100. I can certainly use another buddy to encourage me as I encourage them :-)

    I just sent you a friend request.

    Hi I am in the same boat as you; had 2 kids in 18mths (last one was just 3mths ago) and needless to say could loose about 80lbs. Will try to send request, I am new as well :)

    Hello,

    I too am tall at 5'11. I too used to weigh 220 and felt good in my size 12's. I have gained about a 126 lbs since then and need to start taking it off. I'm 37 and am married with two children. One step daughter and my daughter.

    We could always use more friends!!

    Krysta click on the red number. Appears at the top of the page near your login name you will see a red number beside the grey person icon and/or next to the grey envelope icon. Those red numbers will replace the grey zeroes, indicating how many friend requests or messages you have, which you have not opened or answered. Alternatively go to My Home, I think friend requests appear there as well.
    I have about 72 pounds to lose so I need encouragement and I will send you a friend request as well. It will be tough but we can do this. Thanks!

    Hey ladies! I have gotten off track and recently come back to MFP. I have quite a bit of weight to lose myself. Sending requests!

    I'm hoping to lose about 150 that would get me down to 190 so this is a very very looooooong journey for me, and I have no one to help me here at home so I need a little motivation that's for sure, I had a very horrible relationship with my first sons father, he never let me leave the house and I didn't eat only at nights, which is bad for you so I gained almost 100 lbs then got pregnant and gained 40 so its not a pretty sight ya know

    My name is gloria. I'm 42 & live in Pittsburgh. I started using MFP on September 5, 2013. My starting weight was 275. Today is day 184 & I'm at 192 ( 83 lost ). My goal is 139... 53 to go !!!

    I go to gym daily for 1 to 2 1 / 2 hours. I record everything !!! I gave up all soda on my start day. Last month I gave up all caffeine. The next thing I want to give up is equal. I still have bad days where I can & do eat 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies ...

    I have multiple sclerosis & I need to lose this weight before I have problems walking.

    I post my progress on Facebook weekly. This is a huge incentive to keep losing.

    Good luck to all of us !!!

I have been playing around with this app so to speak.....and now I want to get serious....today was day 1 going to gym before work. I'm soooo tired of gain, lose, gain, lose...etc.....hate seeing people that I haven't seen in a while because I have no idea how much I weighed when I saw them last. Hahaha......so..I say all that to see if I could have some weight loss buddies too....I feel pretty alone in this journey...I want to help others, and have others help me!! WE can DO this!!!

    Hi

    I'm new to MFP too. I've always followed SW or WW but decided that I need to do this on my own because as soon as I don't go to group my weigh goes through the roof and I end up being heavier than when I started. For me this has to be a lifestyle change because as well as needing to loose 66lb I also have the beginnings of fatty liver disease. I have two beautiful children and I don't want them to pick up my bad eating habits.

    I'm going to try and see if I can figure out how to friend request people but in the meantime, if your going through the same things as me or would just love to become Fitnesspal friends then send me a request/message with a bit of info about you too.

    Thanks

    I need to lose 50+ lbs. I'm 42, a stay-home mom, and trying to lose the weight has become my "job" lately. I'm walking more, eating low cal, low fat, high fiber, high protein. I really could use some supportive/encouraging weight loss buddies on here. Anyone is welcome to add me! :)
