I have been on MFP for a while, but am just now starting over. I would love to find a small group of active friends that have quite a bit to lose so that we can support each other through this journey! I am looking to lose about 80 pounds, so I am in this for the long haul. I am looking forward to hopefully finding a great group of friends to help motivate me, and I will do the same! I have been struggling with this for many years, and I know I have to make some life changes and get healthy! Thanks for reading this and hope to gain some new friends soon! Good luck to all on your weight loss journey's! :)

    Hello! I am new to MFP but have a big amount to lose as well (about 100 pounds). I'd love to join the journey with you! I feel like If I have people to talk to and we can motivate each other, there will be better results. I had lost weight before and I'm now starting over and I DO NOT wanna have a repeat and start all over AGAIN. Feel free to add me!

    Hi, I joined in 2012, and decided I could do it on my own, then tried WW, then on my own......here I am back again. Sad thing is my weight ticker is actually less then what I need to lose now---so over the past 2 years of "doing it on my own", I actually weight more. I can't wait until I can change the weight to a smaller # of lbs to lose : )

    Re-started again last week. I have about 50 to go. Let's be friends!

    I'm new here and have a lot to lose my initial goal is 100lbs. I'd love to have a group of people to help motivate me and (hopefully) be motivated by me as well. I really, really want to make these changes and I know having supportive friends would be of great help. :)

    I will add you! I have 72 lbs left to lose, but I've lost 20. I could use motivation too!

    Hi all

    Ive been a user of MFP for quite a while now - although when I say use, I mean I have had the app on my phone for quite a while and never used it. However with the warmer weather heading my way, and a holiday next year I need to shift about 90lbs - mainly because so many clothes no longer fit (or never did so no idea why I bought them) - but also I feel my health is beginning to suffer - I feel sluggish, tired and moody, I know for sure if I lose weight both physically and mentally I will be a lot better.

    A bit about me - I am 34, live in Kent in England and have been married for just over 5 years. I have a dog and a cat, love the countryside, listening to music and socialising.

    Im not joining a slimming club but have joined a gym opposite work today so my first go in there is tomorrow at 7am before work!! Im going to use the calorie tracker on here to try to control what I am eating and how much - Im going to try to focus about 50/50 on the food and exercise as both need to be looked at for me to be able to do this!!

    my email address is lisa.wager1980@yahoo.co.uk if anyone wants to keep in touch even if it is just to swap ideas, share progress whatever!!!!

    Feel free to add me. I've lost over 100lbs, and don't have too much farther to go before hitting my goal.
