What the subject line says, pretty much! I'm 25 and work a nice cushy desk job that pays well and I love what I do, but it's showing on my gut and my thighs and well ... all of me!

I'm looking for some friends who might be able to help encourage me! If anyone needs some MFP friends, just let me know - I'd love to meet some new people and forge some bonds on here. :)

    Add me if you'd like as well! 23/F and hoping to lose around 55 lbs. GW is 165 by New Year's (currently 188).
    I'm pretty active, and in dire need of friends as well. I log my workouts as well if you need inspiration.
    I don't work at a desk job, but I'm studying for the LSAT, so I'm pretty much at a desk all day anyway...

    Hey, I'm pretty new to this site. ( I actually joined about a month ago, but just realized that there is a message board and whatnot a few days ago.) I'm 28/f and I need to loose a total of 75 lbs. I've lost 22.5 so far. I have a desk job, but I work in an ER so it's not all sitting down. You can add me if you'd like to.

    I'm new to the site and would love to help and be helped! Encouragement is always needed because everyone has bad days! I don't have much advice as I am new to this, but I'll definitely be supportive!

    I'm 27/F looking to lose 100lbs. I work 54.5 hours a week sitting at a desk, so I have definitely packed the pounds on! I understand exactly how you feel!

    I'd really like to become more active in the forum, as it keeps me busy; therefore, keeping my mind off food! Boredom is terrible for my diet! Any advice on which topics are best/most active etc. is appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Hey, I'm 23/M I started at 226 pounds in mid-July and I'm at around 204 now. I'm eventually hoping to get down to 155 or so. Couch 2 5K has been helping a lot in the weight loss.

    Hello! I am 29/f living near the Wisconsin/Illinois border. I have 100lbs to lose in total; I am already down 32lbs. I feel like you can never have too many supportive and motivating people in your corner and I love all my MFP friends so I would welcome more with open arms. If you, or anyone else reading this, would like to friend me please do!

    Best of luck on your journey!
    Kristy :flowerforyou:

    Hello! I am a 29/F and have a desk job too and face the same problems as you. It can be hard to fit in any activity during work hours or lunch hours even, but I'm trying to find creative ways to make it work. I set a goal to lose 108 pounds and I'm down 6 lbs right now but I just started up again after not actively trying for a long while. I am not new to MFP, but I am new to this whole friends thing but I see the value in having a support group on MFP to help motivate each other and even learn from each other. Hope we can be friends.

    I wish you all the best of success in your health goals :smile:

    I'm Kayla 24/Female
    I'm currently at my third year in college, studying being a teacher. Last year I lost a lot of weight. A couple of years back in 2011/12, I was about 220lbs and then mid 2013, I weighed 190lbs then I lost my friend earlier this year and from depression I gained some of the weight back and I lost another very close family friend and it's still tough for me, but I'm keeping up a positive attitude. Now I'm back in the 200s and currently 207. =(
    But I'm working on it.
