Hi,

Well today is my fist day here, and I just wanted to do this because I need support and listen to people who can understand what am going through right now.

    I am happy to support and be supported :) This is a marathon and not a sprint and I have found that motivation and support is key to the process!

    Hi Newbies,
    I'm "sort of" a newbie...I've mostly been a lone ranger for a long time, lol...I joined MFP a long time ago, did the routine, lost some weight, then I let life get in my way (I let circumstances control me rather than me control my life) and I stopped logging in, stopped logging food, stopped paying attention to what I ate.

    So over a year later, I still have almost 100 lbs to lose. At 44 years old, I don't want to waste any more time being obese. My kids are almost grown and I resent the fact that I waddled my way through their childhoods, always getting winded, and setting a poor example for them when it comes to fitness overall.

    I want to be healthy for them in this next phase of their lives...but I also want to be healthy for my husband and for ME - I want to be able to do things I enjoy without stopping to catch my breath every 5 minutes, without hating how I look because I couldn't find clothing to fit me...without jiggling with every step I take. AND I WANT TO STOP WADDLING.

    Feel free to add me if you wish. :)

    Hi Hun

    Feel free to add me. I'm not a newbie.....back for my fourth day and newly motivated. I'm also looking for like minded people to keep me motivated. Have sadly put a bit of the weight I lost back on but have found a new enthusiasm for exercise so am making a fresh start. Need some support for this journey

    good luck1

    Hi! I'm actually going to add a bunch of you too if that's okay. :) This is, hmm, I think my 4th time back to MFP and have never had much success. I just get SO hungry and never stick to it. I think some motivation would help. I really need to lose weight and don't want to give up again.

    Hi! Anyone please feel free to add me as well!

    I'm 21, and this is the first time in my life I'm trying to lose weight the healthy way. I've never been obese, but I have always been at least a little bit overweight. This summer, the summer before my senior year of college, I've been working a full-time internship at a small company in Ohio and just looked around and realized how easy it is to continue to gain weight for the rest of your life. I wanted to change my ways!

    No more drinking six nights a week, no more making excuses to eat poorly at almost every meal. I've been tracking what I eat as consistently as I can, as well as working out 3-5 times a week. I'm finally starting to see some results, but I still have a long way to go for my goal! I need accountability buddies, and this app is how I'm trying to have them!

    Please anyone/everyone add me and we can continue our journeys to healthy lifestyles together! :smile:

    Hello! I am new here too! I have been trying to,lose weight for years with varying degrees of success. I have also exercised on and off at home (yoga, free weights, resistance bands) also inconsistently. I recently won a one year membership/5 training sessions . I used to complain that I couldn't afford to join a gym unless it was free--so now I have no excuses. I am on my secind week of going to the gym and LOVE it!

    Hey everyone!

    I started this awhile ago and gave up! i'm back and ready to drop the lbs. I'm looking for some support to keep me going. My last time on this, I had no support so I gave up. I know I need to do this for me but its frustrating not having a support system. I need to lose about 10-20lbs and tone up. My bf sister is getting married next year and its a beach wedding. I have about 9 months to get my butt, thighs, arms, and stomach in shape!

    Anyone looking for a support buddy please add me! I'm here for you! :)
