34, Male, 267 pounds. Need MFP Friends

edited February 21 in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone. Almost 4 years ago I use MFP, losing 10, 20 and 40 pounds. Now I'm restarting and need friends to encourage each other (male or female, of any country). I live in Dominican Republic, I have 34 years old, married, two children, I work in a bank. I started with 267 pounds, I have 261 and I want to get to 180 (losing 87 pounds). In 2005 I made it to 180, but regained weight in 3 years.

Welcome!

    Hi! I am also looking for some new MFP friends. I was doing great for a long time and managed to lose 55 lbs and then gained most of it back so I'm back on the bandwagon.

    I'm married with 1 child who is turning 7 so I've decided telling people it's "baby fat" no longer applies!

    Friend me

    You can add me ... I don't know if any of you post on 3 fat chicks but many of my friends here do. The forums and the people I've met there and added here are very supportive. You can add me if you'd like and I'd love to see you on 3 fat chicks also. On there I am love2b150 which was my original goal four years ago. I then joined here and decided I wanted to weigh 136. I lowered that this year to 132 :) I recently saw 159.8 lowest I have seen since being pregnant in 1992/93 so I got excited. I weighed in at 164.0 today so gotta get back there. Hoping to see some or all of you there :) I'm married, mother of five (four are still in school).

    Hi. I just wanted 8 or 10 MFP friends (recommended quantity), but I'm receiving too many friend requests so I would need to stop accepting them from this moment. I didn't know this social network was that active!

    THANK YOU ALL !!!!

    I want to keep my friend's circle small because i'm pretending to keep tracking their progress and write some comments frequenlty. It's impossible when you have more than 20 friends.
