    Hey, i'm the worst dieter! I find I have a good day and spend the next patting myself on the back for it. But since joining MFP I've found it much easier to see what I'm actually consuming, it's making a difference to my attitude towards dieting.

    Feel free to add me, I'd love the support.

    So many of you are doing so well, between how long you have committed and how much you are loosing it's definitely something to be proud of.


    This is me too. That is why I no longer weigh myself. :laugh:

    Hello All! :flowerforyou: I'm Spicy from South Florida.:laugh: Originally from Brooklyn, NY. I'm 46 y/o :happy:

    I've been on MFP for a few years and log on every weekday. Weekends is another story. Trying to be better :happy:

    I lost 30 lbs. a few years ago and gained it all back in about 3 years. :cry: That's because I met the Love of my Life :love:

    Anyway, I'm trying Intermittent Fasting (16:8) and hoping this will help me stay within my calories. So far, it's working, but I will find out how well, when my clothes start fitting better. :wink:


    Edited to say: Add me too!!!
    edited again cause I forgot to mention. I'm a "liker", not a constant "commenter", don't hold it against me. :flowerforyou:

    Hi, my name is Jennie. I live in Ontario, Canada. I've been dieting most of my life. I gained a lot of weight when I was sick for most of a year, and have been struggling to get it off. I recently joined Jenny Craig cuz it worked for me in the past, and I've been trying to lose this weight for over a year. I've been going almost 2 weeks. I lost 0.4 last week, and have my next way in later on today. I love having friend on here because I need all the help, encouragement and inspiration I can get. I've also been sick for almost two weeks, so I will be more active in logging my exercise when I get back to it hopefully next week. Anyone please feel free to add me, I love making new friends! :smile:

    Hi, I'm Angela! I'm 33, MTF trans, live in Vancouver Canada, and have been on MFP for a few years. I'm on a big push to lose fat over the next six months, and this site/app and Fitbit are the tools I'm using to run my life during that effort!

    I lost 40 lbs three years ago and then spent a year putting most of it back on. I'm currently at 204lbs and my goal is 170. I've been doing weights and cardio since January and saw a big boost in endurance, but not much in the way of fat loss. Then in July I cut carbs and sugar (not completely, but to less than 60g carbs / 25g sugar per day and I've lost 15 pounds! I'm combining that with cardio and the current Whole Life Challenge and I think I'll be in good form to reach my goal by springtime.

    I'm Alynda, 43, Texas. Getting back into life after a pretty rough year or so. I'd done really well with MFP in 2011-12, but life got in the way once I got to maintenance mode. My long term goal is to lose a bit over thirty pounds and consistently go to the gym, walk or run three to four times per week! Feel free to add. I'm planning to be here every day:)

    I like adding friends :)

    I'm Michelle. 39 years old, 4'11" and I'm almost to my goal weight.

    I'm focusing right now on trying to get a strength training routine (at home) because I lost all the weight without exercising much, and I'm not satisfied with how I look yet. I feel great though!

    My diary is open to only friends so add me if you want to check it out! :)

    Hi I'm Stephanie I'm 41yrs old, married with 2 kids and live in Louisiana. I've been overweight since my teens. Something has finally clicked and I've been changing my eating habits since June. I have PCOS, a bad knee, and lots of back problems. The back and knee make it hard to exercise but I'm not letting that stop me anymore. I've lost 34 lbs so far.

    In my everyday life I think people are getting tired of me always talking about food and health but that is my life right now. lol

    Looking to make friends who can relate and I want to give and receive support through this journey.

    I am Heather... I am 38, mother of two little boys, full time science teacher and I run dog agility with my labrador in my "spare" time. I have been overweight my whole life and am trying to make major changes that will stick with me forever. I want desperately to avoid passing on my food issues to my boys. I would actually like to weigh less than my husband for a change.

    I CAN DO THIS!!!!

    I would love more friends on this journey!

    HI I'm Damaris from Florida. I'm married with wonderful children. After I had my second child, I gained more than 60 pounds. I have lost a lot of weight but have been "stuck" at the same weight for almost 2 years now. My goal is to be at least 15 pounds lighter by the end of the year. I started crossfit recently and love it! I also love running, I am just not very fast but I love it nonetheless.

    Hiya Peoples! :flowerforyou:

    I'm Tricia, 29, from sunny Southern California. Wife. Mother to 4. I've lost the weight before and somehow it found it's way back once I got pregnant (high-risk/bed-ridden) and I just want to get RID of it for good. (Unless, hubby wants MORE kids, ugh!)

    I'm a SAHM/WFHM who writes recipes, cookbooks and runs a food blog. So, obvi. I like food. I don't follow a "diet" I don't "fast" I don't "juice" and I don't do "meal replacements" of any sorts.

    I cook, I eat, I exercise. I repeat. I'm not a quick fixer, and I don't do "instant gratification". I'm not looking to lose 2-10 pounds per week, I'm cool with 2-10 pounds per MONTH, if that means I don't have to deprive myself of deliciousness.

    My Food Diary is Public/Open. Everything I make to eat, I also post a picture of on Instagram, double accountability! :wink:

    I log on daily, even when I'm on "vacation" or it happens to be a ridiculously busy day. You'll notice my diary list are FULL and LONG, because I track everything, because I track both macros AND micros. So yes, I even log "zero calorie" foods, because some have carbs, sodium, etc.

    :drinker:
