in Introduce Yourself
Hi there,
I just signed up for this site. I have a LOT of weight to lose. Hoping to have someone help me on this journey. I have been dealing with medical issues for the past 3years. I have made as much progress as is possible and now need to learn to just move forward. I am taking an aggressive approach to reclaim whatever I can in order to get back to where I used to be before my accident. Seeking supports from those who are motivated and can keep me focused on this long journey. Any takers?!!

    I'm back on the bandwagon after falling off for awhile and dealing with an endocrinologist who really depressed me. I'm new to the site and would love supportive friends who I will give support and encouragement back to. Send me a friend request. Welcome to the MFP and good luck in your journey!

    I tried this site and a different one a few years ago for a short period of time. I liked this one the best. I have been just using the site that goes with my fitbit lately but then I discovered that MFP works with their site and I like the interaction on this site much better.

    I just started using my app again two days ago, I found it hard not having others to help motivate. I would love to help you reach your goal

    Hi! I just started my journey 10 days ago. This app is nothing short of life-changing. I've been on every diet out there, but never stick to any of them. I don't like complicated. Mfp is such a no-brainer! I love it so far. I've lost 4 pds and started walking and a little bit of running. I look forward to helping others with their goals; it's easier with people who understand what you're going through. I have about 65 pds to lose, but I'm glad I have decided to finally be proactive instead of feeling sorry for myself. We got this, ladies!

    I'm brand new too. I lost my hearing in 2008 and am now totally deaf so I understand medical issues pretty well , sadly. I'm brand new here too and don't know anyone or even how this works, but hello. I'm just here because all the people in my hearing life don't care to be around me any more. I can't hear and they treat me like dirt. Hoping to find friends online who don't care if I can hear them. Thanks.

    Hey there & welcome!

    I'd love to be along for the journey & that goes for any of you. I've had issues with weight and esteem for pretty much my whole life but now there's some medical things at stake. I need to lose a lot as well. I just joined MFP 2 months ago & I'm always open for more supportive friends.

    Did fitness challenge with neighbor who had twins and was going on vacation and wanted swim suit body back and someone to ensure she made the workouts with trainer. After retiring from military and the gym, I needed to get back on track. Dropped 85 with MFP and then a cancer detour. Won fitness challenge, beat cancer and gained 30 healthy lbs back. Healthy and fit using MFP for 3 years!
    Log everything honestly and if you're using smart phone, it's easy. Habits start 1 meal at a time and fitness changes 1 day at a time. It easily becomes part of your daily routine. Small group fitness training is also an affordable option. Folks in gym/rec centers are all there for healthy lifestyle. Don't let your situation deter you from making changes. Walking and drinking lots of water also helps and it's easy on the joints!!!

    I'm fairly new to MFP. I have about 30 pounds to lose, but more importantly I feel like I need to become more fit. I have a two year old who is very active and I want to be able to keep up with him. Would love to provide/receive support.

    I've been here now 11 days and its helping lots. The motivation and community really helps. Also nice to see what other people are eating as that gives you new ideas. I have about 30 lbs to loose and of course could use all the help I can get, motivation is a big factor. I log in every day. You can add me if you like :))

    Good luck with all your health goals! I'm recovering from an eating disorder but trying my best to eat healthy and gain some healthy weight (and muscle!) I could help with any sort of workouts you need. Pilates is one of my favourite things :)

    I'm new as well, and need the support of people going thru the same routine. I started with MFP a few months back and had lost 6 lbs, but then had a herniated disc which followed by surgery. Needless to stay I'm starting over and even further away from my goals than before. I recently bought a fitbit to help motivate me to become more active. Goal is to lose 60 lbs!

    I've used MFP about a year ago, which helped me lose around 15 pounds. Then I stopped tracking....and gained 10 pounds back. Now my husband and I are both tracking and we both LOVE doing it. I would love to add lots of friends on for support. All of the friends I have from last year have stopped tracking as well...shows they haven't logged in for months so I would LOVE all the support I can get and love to give it as well. Best of luck to everyone~
