    Hi All,

    I'm Sam from Manchester in the UK. I have around 110lbs to lose. I started properly around 2 weeks ago. I have just bought a wiiU and using the wii fit to get as much exercise as I can fit in whilst running the house and seeing to my 2 children single handedly! Add me if you need a buddy I do! :)

    Sam xx

    Hi, everybody! I'm 45, just recently lost 75lbs, looking to lose another 12 to 13. I recently started running - very slowly but I'm running :smile: and doing some weight lifting while tracking what I eat.

    I log in everyday and have an open diary - it's not pretty some days but it's all there.

    Hey! Mom, wife, sports, lifting, 5ks, dogs, cats, what else needs to be said? I've been on MFP awhile and am just enjoying losing weight and still getting in some pizza with iifym. :)

    I started out with My Fitness Pal two years ago and lost a lot of weight before my wedding but since then, it has slowly and surely crept back on ( with VAT). I can't ignore it anymore and would love some friends so that we could encourage each other along the way. I have some about 35kgs to lose. Would love to be able to wear clothes that I like again rather than what just fits. Please feel free to add me.

    This is round 2 weight loss for me! I lost it before through MFP calorie counting and plenty of exercise, but life happened and I regained it all :( Now I want to lose 40 lbs and get my old body back, with a bit of support along the way - which I will of course reciprocate. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people!

    I'm returning to MFP after fracturing my foot. I was running for the past year and was feeling really good about myself. After the injury I gained all the weight back and now am starting from the beginning with learning how to eat healthier.

    I'm looking for people who are motivated and supportive. I truly believe you are the company you keep and I'm ready to be surrounded by people who want to reach their goals and are fighting to get there.

    I need motivation to eat right!! I do pretty well with exercise, but I love food! I've been stagnant with my weight for a long time now. I need to lose about 40 pounds.

    NICE love that avie "Make every day your *****!" love that

    ok, so, totally not being a butt, BUT

    I am wondering what the friend function really does? I get a friend request, I accept, I now have 3 friends. Is that supposed to make me feel better, or is there something on the site that interacts or whatever?

    I don't quite get it.

    Having a support system can really help with anything-being a parent, quitting smoking, loss of a spouse. It makes sense to have a support system for losing weight, even if its just a bunch of strangers on the internet.

    With that in mind, I'd love some new friends!

    Hi, I'm Meg!

    I use MFP to watch my fat and salt intake, but also to make sure I'm eating right, getting enough water, and doing some kind of movement every day. While weight loss would be nice, it's not as much a focus as overall health. I have fibromyalgia, so exercising is really hard. I'm trying to eat right, reduce the toxins in my life, and get as healthy as I can through natural means.

    Hi everyone!

    I have been on MFP for about 2 years, but for the past 2-3 weeks something has shifted. I have logged every day, and enjoy seeing the news feeds from friends. And I have lost a little weight

    But, I have a long journey ahead of myself, and would love some company!

    Hi everyone, I have been using MFP for awhile now and I m looking forward to this challenge I have set for myself. I want to lose at least 65-70lbs, but most people tell me I do not need to and I just need to tone. Feel free to add me. I get motivated by reading others post and success stories.
