in Introduce Yourself
I've been a member for awhile but just recently begun trying to lose weight. I have 100+ lbs to lose. I've lost a little over 5 in 1 week. Looking for more friends to help motivate me. Doesn't matter how much weight you need to lose. Thanks :)

    I was where you are now last June, 103 lbs. over weight. Today, I have lost 85 lbs. which leaves me having 18 lbs. to no longer be obese or over weight which was my first goal. I have had some tough physical issues arise to slow me down but I am back on track. I am already on your friends list so I wanted to say hi and wish you luck.

    My sister got me on this.... I have to loose over 200lbs. Right now, I can't even really exercise because my knees are so bad. However, I am hoping if I start to loose enough weight I will be able to go to the gym. I am looking for friends who will cheer me on and motivate me as well. I would love to be your friend

    Hello. I would love to have more friends for support. I suffer from depression and this gives me problems. I know with support and supporting others, I could do so much better. I am hoping to help another as well.

    Well its taken 3 years so far :) It was hard at the start but I promise if you keep moving forward it gets easier as it becomes a lifestyle change and new things start to seem normal :) The hardest part is keeping motivation since i had such a large amount to lose. MFP and my friends here help me stay motivated :) I sent you a fr :)
