Hi :) I have been on my journey for 3 years now and I had hit my goal last summer and thought that I could keep it off without MFP. I did for a while then I feel into a hole and started eating BADDDDD... Anyways, here I am back on track and I am looking for some new buddies. I have between 10-15 pounds to lose and cant do it alone. My name is Kelly and I live in New York USA :):flowerforyou:

    Hey Kelly! I'm Emily and I'm also looking for friends to help encourage me to stay on track! I've lost weight before but these past few months I basically ate whatever I wanted. Hopefully we can keep each other on track:smile:

    Hi Kelly. I've been on MFP for a year. I'm 15# from goal. I'm sure willing to be your friend and offer any encouragement and support that I can and welcome any in return. ... and Welcome back. There are a great group of people on here that can really become your family. You've sure found the right place.

    Hi all. = )
    I'm restarting as well as looking for friends! I'm starting out at 205lbs with a goal of 120lbs. I feel like I've been doing this forever but I always feel more motivated with buddies.

    I have certainly started and re-started a couple of times. We could always use more friends and positive influence. Friend request sent.

    Hi all!! I am also restarting and need help to stay on track. I got serious about my journey in January of this year bc I am getting married in September. At my best, I was 20lbs down,:bigsmile: but now I am too afraid to get on a scale. I know I have gained back some weight back bc I stopped using MFP and stopped making the gym a priority. I had a workout buddy but she stopped coming to the gym so I lost some of my motivation. The other part was me thinking I had trained my body to eat what I wanted and burn it off during the week. So, please add me to your friends and we can help each other stay on track. :smile:

    Hi Kelly! Your journey sounds very much like mine though I have more weight to lose than you do at this point. I originally lost 120 lbs over about 3 years and kept it off for about 2 years....then I began gaining. Life kinda came at me all at once and it happened. So now here I am to lose the 40 plus pounds I put on. I'd be happy to be your friend in this journey.
