    Hi lovelies!
    I'm Cat, 18, 5"7 and currently 189lbs. I'm looking to lose 40lbs all together, and would love to be friends with absolutely everyone! I love jogging and walking my dogs, as well as soups and fruit cakes. I'm also just starting out yoga, and hoping it will be a new obsession of mine!

    Feel free to add me! x

    Hello :) I'm Emily, 29 and need to lose a little over 100 still and then will go from there. I log daily, I just hit 148 and would love more pals. I work nights, so as soon as midnight hits, I log for the day. My world revolves around my cat I'm hoping to be "un-benched" tomorrow from an injury. I'm going stir crazy not being able to do anything lol. I'm glad I've made this such a habit that I miss it haha.

    Hi! I am 42, and am still relatively new (Day 1 was May 26, 2014). After 12 years and 3 kids, I am hoping to lose 35-40 lbs in total (goal weight is what I weighed at 30 yrs). I log daily, and am just *thinking* of starting to lift. Would love to have some friends on this journey! Please feel free to add :smile:

    Hey, I'm Sam, I am 20 and live in London. I am attempting to eat less calories and am looking for some accountability. Like someone on my feed who is setting a good example and will see if I slip up. Also a running partner, although I don't think theres many Brits in this thread. Anyway, add me if you want I suppose is what I'm saying here, and I'll do some adding of my own.

I am eating at least six small meals a day, less processed, more natural foods. I have seem great changes in my mood, less pain in my joints. I love to walk and now I do Zumba and Boot camp. Incorporating some weights as well. Always doing research to understand diabetes more that way I can beat it.

    In for Part 3..happy to make new Friends feel free to add.
  • I'm 22 and hit 20st 2lb recently, I'm aiming to get down to around 14st in the next year or so. I started a week ago and have lost 5lbs! I've never really exercised much but I've been doing around an hour of walking each day and most days I cycle too. I used to eat pizza, chinese food, or McDonalds for every meal every day, and I feel worlds better for eating real food. I'm an avid cook, in fact there's chicken and potatoes in the slow cooker right now, so I find it therapeutic to cook really healthy and satisfying meals.

    Looks like I'm one of the only British guys here! Hello ladies and gents!

    Hi! I could truly use some supportive friends! I'm trying to lose 30 lbs, but I'd gladly take 10 lbs right now. I used this site last Spring/ Summer and believe my progress was due to the amazing motivation I received from MFP friends. However, I lost many of those friends when a I took a hiatus.

    If you'd like a supportive friend, please add me if you can return the support as well. Please don't add me if you just want someone to like/comment on your achievements and don't do the same for others.

    Hey Everyone,
    So about 2 years ago I dropped 15 lbs with the help of MFP and have kept it off without having to count calories (success!). I am at 163 lbs right now and since I have been stable for a few years I would like to make my next goal 145 (almost a 20 lbs drop). I have tried again and again to start but keep falling off the wagon. Last time was so much easier because my calorie goal was higher. As soon as I go over my calorie goal I get depressed and just stop, bad I know. I need some motivated individuals to help keep me focused!
    A little about me: I am 23, work a desk job during the day, am a swim coach at night, live in Wisconsin, need to find time to workout, and I have Celiac Disease (basically means I am gluten free).
    Send me a request! I will try and help you stay motivated as well!
    Thanks!
    Sarah

    I need some friends!

    This is my 2nd time around on MFP. My husband and I did it together the first time and he lost 60 and I lost 30. Life happened and I gained 20 back. I've been trying to lose the same 20 for almost 2 years and I'm tired of it. I am doing it this time come hell or high water!! One thing that helped me before was being involved on the boards and having lots of friends!
  • Hi :)
    I'll be happy to add you, as I too am looking to make new friends to help my motivation. So anyone feel free to add me :) I log daily x

  • Hi everyone! I've been using MFP off and on for awhile and thanks to a friend I've been inspired to re-start and hopefully stick to it. I'm looking to lose about 40+ lbs and become a healthier person. I'd love to have more friends to keep me motivated through this!
