    Hi, there
    I would love to get new friends to held me accountable. it's very difficult to follow a diet/exercise program when you have no support from the people that is around you. I am currently 218 (started at 240) and I want to lose a 100 pounds. I try to eat as clean as possible considering that I eat cafeteria food (really having trouble with sodium).

    I'm in! I'm 27, with a 3 yo daughter. I lost 150 lb, but gained 100 when I got pregnant.
    I need active accountability buddies :-)

    I need this too! I'm 20 years old but have struggled with my weight since puberty. I've been on and off losing weight for the last few years but every time I start losing it ends up coming back anyway! I'd love someone to keep me accountable :) My family and partner know that I'm trying to lose a bit of pudge but they aren't focused on it like other members are on here! Add me :happy:

    Oh my goodness, I was just coming on here to start my own post about this! I need it! I'm newly 25, married and have three kids. My youngest was born earlier this year. I'm currently 246, and I want to lose about 110 pounds. I've lost weight before (70lbs) But gained it all back with my last two pregnancies. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and well returned!

    I need friends as well. I get fixated on a number I see on the scale and decided I can't lose the weight and start sabotaging my fitness goals... I don't know why I do it. A year ago I lost 35 pounds but now a year later I've only kept 14 of it off... It's like I'm afraid to lose the weight and start slacking... I definitely need some more people to help keep me motivated. Anyone feel free to add me. I'm 5 foot 3 235 pounds (Started at 254) ... I would like to be under 200 by November because thats when I will see my brother again after boot camp. I want to surprise him and make him proud of me.

    It's easy to sabotage yourself. And it's just as easy to be derailed by others. I'm really goal-oriented, so I picked something I really wanted and made sure that I didn't sway because I really wanted that thing. (In my case, it was a puppy.) I gave up sugar, beef, and potatoes (all trigger foods for me) for a year. And I dropped 57 pounds by January, and kept it off until May. In May, which is when I had started, I ended up binge-eating things because my friends were so excited I could eat sugar again. And I was so excited to eat potatoes and beef again, I ate them in large quantities, because I kept telling people 'Okay, in June, I'm going back to no sugar. Okay, in July, no sugar, guys!' Finally, I decided in August to go back to how I had been. And it's been a slow process, but it really is entirely about focus.

    The more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it.

    Curiously, do you take vitamins at all?

    I just came back to MFP today to try to find some accountability partners. I'm having a really hard time keeping myself going and knowing someone is checking in on me will really help. I'm 36 with three kids and even though my youngest is 3 I need to lose baby weight and more. Probably close to 100 lbs but I am not exactly sure what I weigh now. If I don't lose it all I want to be able to wear regular clothes and be healthy for my kids.

    This sounds like exactly what I need so I will add some of you as friends, if that's OK. I've just joined MFP to help stop my boredom eating at work and encourage/remind me to get moving a bit more than I usually do!

    I need more friends on here too that use it regularly. I'm 29, 5'7, 223lbs and i have trouble forcing myself to work out. None of my friends have the same gym as me so I don't have anyone to motivate me to go. I bought Turbo Fire a few months ago and I'll start it up and do it for a week and then not do it again for a month. I always find excuses to not work out. I started a new job 2 weeks ago so since then I've tried to start fresh with my eating and I've been doing pretty well with that, except weekends of course when I eat out and drink. Would love some more friends on here to hold me accountable and if anyone is doing Turbo Fire, please let me know too!
