    Always looking for new friends who are consistent with logging. My MFP friends tend to go MIA after a certain amount of time.

    I've used MFP this past year but I noticed that I've gained 25 pounds this school year so it's time to get serious so i can live a healthy lifestyle. I would love to swap tips with other people.

    Hi everyone! Signed up for MFP over a year ago and didn't even last a day. Been back for nearly two weeks and LOVING it -- the food log keeps me honest and very aware of the caloric/nutritional value of what I eat (and also motivates me to make healthier choices so I won't have to log anything too complicated or shaming!), and the forums have been educational (never knew about BMR and TDEE and how to factor that in, though I admit that since I changed my calorie goal up from 1200 sometimes I feel like I'm eating "too much") and inspiring! It's been 13 days and so far so good, and hope I stick with it...

    I'm 33yo, in NYC, 5'9", currently about 195lbs, and been overweight since puberty. I told myself in college that I would never get above 190, but the last couple years I've been solidly above that number. A couple of weeks ago I hit over 200 and that's when I KNEW I had crossed the line and really had to make a change before things get worse. Not only that, my husband and I would like to start a family, but I admit that part of me is absolutely TERRIFIED of the "baby weight" in addition to already being overweight, so I feel compelled to bring my baseline weight down before that happens.

    I'm liking the accountability of MFP's food diary, and got a FitBit last week which I love (it's like a grown-up Tamogotchi - this morning it told me it loved me!). I'm focusing more right now on food choices, and my exercise is mainly walking. I've had bursitis since February, but I hope to build up to jogging/running again (did it ~3 years ago with C25K and it was amazing), maybe by the end of summer.

    My dream goal is to get out of the "overweight" category of BMI, but the first goal is to get below 190. A side goal is to also be a source of inspiration/motivation to my husband; I've noticed even my obsessive food-logging in MFP is starting to help him make healthier choices as we talk about caloric values more, and it's encouraging!

    Anyway, add me, if you like! I'm easy-going, geeky/nerdy, and looking for weight-loss buddies to help keep me on track, and I hope to do the same for you, too!

    Hi all...I've been on MFP for a few months and after being super successful I've sorta fallen off the wagon when life got in the way (finishing up college, graduation, moving, starting a new job). Things have finally settled down but I need some new inspiration and motivation. I'm looking for new friends that can support me and visa versa. I currently workout doing insanity, t-25 and a running. Please send me some requests my way!!

    I'm new here and would love some friends! :)

    I'm a chef by trade, and I love modifying recipes to be low sodium, low sugar, gluten free, whatever is needed. Hit me up if you have food or nutrition questions. There's nothing I love more than talking food.

    Second attempt at MFP and in need of some friends to keep me motivated! I always find people being able to see my diary makes me more aware of what I'm eating so add me if you want to keep each other on the straight and narrow. :]
    I don't want to look like Zoidberg without his shell on anymore, so this time I mean business!

    Hello :smile:

    I am 29, happily married, Mommy of 4 :heart:

    I have been active daily since joining 40 days ago and have lost a total of 11lbs and some inches. My CW is 144 and my GW is 130 (although this number may change depending on the results.)

    My heaviest weight was around 200lbs (back in 2009) and I lost some weight here and there but always ended up gaining some of it back. Over the past few years my average weight was between 160-180lbs and after doing a bit of research and kicking a crazy Pepsi addiction I discovered this site. For the first time in years my BMI is in a healthy range and I am so excited with my results.

    I create art from home so my usual activity is pretty sedentary but I love finding new ways to work home exercises into my day.
    Feel free to add me if you'd like :smile:
