Anyone with 50-70lbs to lose looking for friends???

Options
Hi folks.. I joined this site 5 days ago, and although I have a few friends on my list, the few I have only seem to have little weight to lose! So looking for people with a bit more to lose, like myself. I am 30 year old, 5ft 10 and around a shameful 220lbs... so need to lose at least 50lbs to be a healthy weight... although pushing for nearer 70!! its a long way to go.. so some support would be great... if you want to friend me to motivate each other and nail this weight thing for good, then please friend me :)

    Hi, please feel free to add me!

    I'm 33, 5' 6" and have lost 48lb so far, with the same to go again....I'm exactly halfway there! I started at 256 (I still can't belive it!) and my goal at the moment is to be 160 (but I may go a little lower once I get there....I'd love to be able to say that I lost over 100lbs!).

    I am really motivated and detirmined and would be happy to be your MFP friends and provide support and vice versa. If you'd like to please just send me a request.

    Jane :)

    Feel free to add me as well (to anyone). I actually am looking to lose 70 pounds to my first goal (I'm 15 pounds in already), but my goal is the top of the chart for max healthy weight on the bmi scale. I will likely want to lose more after that. Just not sure how much yet.

    Hi there! I'm 32 years old and 5'9". I started in March 2013 at 257 lbs and I've lost 52 so far. I'm looking to lose another 40-50 lbs to get down to a healthy weight. MFP has been a fantastic tool for me, and I've loved connecting with people all over the world.

    I am three weeks in and finding my family support system lacking and would love a support group as well. I have about the same to lose and family that hates vegetables and wants most of my time out of work focused on them. I am still doing it but I need some positive energy to remind me why I don't want to split that sausage pizza with my husband, that finishing my son's French fries is not contributing to my goals and that yes indeed I can make time for me!

    A little about me: from NH celebrating my 39th birthday for the second year this year, used to be very, very thin and now am a ball of flab, married with on child, school board mom, in the hospitality business and love meeting new people from around the world.
