in Motivation and Support
Hello! I have been a member of MFP for several years now. I had originally lost about 20 pounds, but over the past year I fell off the bandwagon and gained about half of it back (if not a little more). I'm 23 years old, so I really want to get my weight under control. I'm 5'8" and currently about 190 pounds and my ultimate goal is to get down to about 165-170.

I'm looking for friends that will help motivate me and I will help motivate them! I don't want to fall off the bandwagon again, I want to stay on and get to my goal! :)

    I know I have motivation problems from time to time. The good thing is seems like when I up others are down. And when they are up I am down so there is always motivation to share. Feel free to add me if you wish. And together we can reach our goals. Remember you are never alone.

    I'm 23, know exactly what you mean. Staying motivated is the toughest part. Just stick with it, and I'm sure you'll do great!

    I was considering starting a thread just like this! I have 'freinds' but a lot of them aren't very active as they used to be, ive been on and off the wagon due to having a few babies, but now i'm going hard to get my body back. Feel free to add me, am a daily logger and motivator :-)

    Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm 5'0, 130lbs. My heaviest was 163 and just a year ago I was 118, so I did gain some back since I was at that low 118 a year ago. I can relate to some of you in saying that I used to have people that were on the same page as me but they aren't anymore, so I need motivating and supporting friends!

    Hello!! Your story is exactly the same as mine. 21 here, been here for probably 2 years. Original lost 25 lbs, put half back on when I off the band wagon. Now I'm back! Eating healthy and doing insanity early mornings with bike rides in the afternoons

    Feel free to add me! I love commenting positive things, and receiving them :D!

    Hey! Definitely been there with the losing and bouncing back. Lost about 60 lbs four years ago (after being up and down and mostly up for years), but recently found myself creeping back up again. I'm doing my best to take off the new pounds I've put on, take off a few more, and most importantly gain some more muscle and TONE UP! I've always been pretty soft, so this should be interesting. Haha. I'm always open to new friends, so feel free to send me a request. :)

    Hi! I'm Melissa. I too need some friends to help motivate me. I started off at 240lbs and now I'm at 186. Spent 9 months working out like crazy then I hit a plateau. Now I'm in my first week of ideal protein and it's getting easier. My goal is to get too my pre baby weight. :-)

    Feel free to add me. Turned 26 last month and currently weighing in at 199. I'm 5'10" and share the same goal weight as you. Lost 25lbs before meeting my boyfriend last March but sadly ended up putting most of it back on. Been looking for more active friends as several of mine haven't been logging lately. On 30 day logging streak currently.

    I've used this app in the past and found it makes me accountable and more successful when I have a few kg's to shed. I have a 10 month old baby and need to lose 5kg to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.... so today I am kicking it off and I want it gone in about a month... let's see how we go!
    Good luck to you with your goals. :)

    Anyone is welcome to add me as well! I started at 240 a couple years ago and lost 70 lbs, then gained almost 20 back. I'm working my way back down and I need to finish this!!!! I log everyday and my diary is open. Almost all of my previous friends are now inactive and I need some support!!!!
