in Introduce Yourself
Hi!
My name is Mercedes. My friend/roommate and I are currently on a journey to lose 100+ pounds. I'm going through a difficult time right now and could definitely use the friendship, motivation, and assistance from other people. If you find yourself in the same boat, and are looking to make new friends, I hope you would consider adding me as a friend on My Fitness Pal....you can find me at "xoxfrompdx".

We live in Gresham, OR and are crazy about dogs. So if you'd like to get together to have healthy dinners, work out, or just keep each other inspired...please let me know.

    Hi Mercedes...My name is Donna and we can be friends. I need to lose 130 lbs and it is always a struggle. I just joined myfitnesspal.com to count calories. I just signed up for The Venus Factor program so I'm determined to make it work. They believe in following a healthy diet and doing strengthening exercises. So, whatever works.I'll check into this site 3x a day to enter calories, so write anytime. I'm a great listener. I'm 58, mother of 2, been married 36 yrs and have 3 grandchildren. My house is on the market and hope it sells soon. Moving from CT. to Fl. Talk to you soon....Donna

    We can be friends. I just started yesterday. I do not know how to send a friend request, but everyone please feel free to add me ! jessmceache is my anme thing.

    I am 23 live in Canada, on a journey to lose 100 pounds, and I have tried every diet and they all fail because I have little to no support system and no will power and motivation! Any help and friendships will be appreciated along my journey!

    If you message me or anything it may take awhile to respond as I am new and have no idea how to do anything on here lol!

    Friend request sent :) MFP has helped me lose 15 pounds since January. It's a great place to keep accountable and motivated! Just know that this won't happen over night. It probably won't even be WEEKS that you feel or see a difference. Just know that it is proven that if you stick with it, it WILL work. Weight loss is all about calories in/calories out

    I'm interested in being friends! I need motivational support, even though I know I have this fitness/weight loss journey down, I also know a time will come when I hit a plateau or just get down, and will need people in my corner. I have friends who are supportive, but no one who is also on a journey to lose 100+ pounds!

    I'm 36, from the DFW area of Texas, and I have lost 28lbs, down to 321 from 349! My tracker is off because I stupidly didn't enter my starting weight, I entered the weight I was when I joined MFP.

    You go to "profile" and there should be an option to add tracker.
