in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm looking for new friends to help keep me motivated. I am 32 yrs old and 5'8". I currently have plateaued at around 234lbs. I am a baker and work a very labour intensive job which has my cal allowance at 1900 per day. I get up at 3am everyday and have a small breakfast but then a second small breakfast around 8am. I have my diary open to view...and yes I cheat with burger king or other crappy foods I shouldnt eat once in awhile (in moderation) so no judging. I only have a couple friends and I find the more people might be checking my stats out, the more motivated it will keep me to stay away from the junk. I started at 270lbs 2yrs ago and started using mfp at 242 lbs. My goal is 190lbs. Tips and constructive advice welcome!

Thanks and happy tracking!

    Welcome!! I lost 150 pounds on my own, before this site. With this site I have lost another 50 pds it is amazing the amount of support you get. The support and motivation you get on here keeps you going. Feel free to add me if you need an extra motivating buddy :)

    Ditto for me, feel free to add! It is so nice to have people to talk/write to who understand how challenging it can be, and how good it feels, to successfully lose and maintain weight!! I too lost a lot of pounds over the course of 5 years, slowly, and almost at goal. Just joined MFP today!

    Hello dear, nice to see your post! I am new to this site, and also have some weight to loose. I am a lot older than you (67) but I guess we are all fighting the same fight. You are about the same age as my son (35) and he is in the process of also wanting to loose weight. I am a retired grandma so I have all day to think about food. lol I bought some books, and also some videos on exercizing. I have a treadmill and a stationary bike, so I have no good excuse and that is bad. And sad. lol Where do you think you need the most help? Just having a friend going thru the same thing? I am here! I have not had time to really look thru this site and see what all they have to offer, but I really like the fact we can visit back and forth with each other, and support each other, I think that is very important! I sure can relate with you, I am in the same boat! Hang in there, we can do this!

    I am also welcoming to any friends requests to keep us all motivated. I struggle with my love of junk food... *sigh*

    I found that the more people I tell the more motivated I am as well. I even started posting my workouts on facebook to get more comments from people. The more you are cheered on the more you will succeed. In my opinion. Good Luck.. also, try to find walking groups or other people in your area using the Find Members section of MFP. Great way to make friends going through the same struggle!

    Hi, just joined today and as soon as I figure out how to 'add friends' on here, I will add you guys!
    I don't have many true friends, and my closest ones are either not overweight or don't use the internet much (sigh). I look fw to trying this and see if I can, once again, lose weight and feel attractive and healthy to boot.

    You can add me also! I log on several time a day. I am also working my way to get under 200 pounds as my major goal and then will see where to go from there.
    we can motivate each other.
    Anyone else feel free to add me as well! :)

    Hey there!

    I am also looking for new people to add - I need the motivation, plus I also like looking at other people's food logs to get ideas for new things to eat. My trainer just upped my calories, which made me a little nervous at first, but I have been seeing some great results along with changing my routine in the gym. We've been focusing a lot more on lifting (which is a little intimidating being just about the only girl aside from my trainer in the weight lifting area) and then doing cardio on my own.

    Hi there! I just started a week ago, and I definitely want to get to know some people on here so I don't feel like I'm in it alone. I'll send you a request, and anyone can add me as well. :)
