    Hi, I'm Aimee, looking to find some friends on here :)
    I'm trying to lose weight/become healthier, easier said than done! I've been with MFP for a while, but I stopped tracking and gained some weight back due to a traumatic family event.
    So, I'm starting fresh and hoping this time I'll go even further!

    Hi! Wow its so cool to see all the comments from people all over the world! I would love to get some more MFP friends, so add me. I am a 35 y/o, living in St. Paul, MN, USA. Married, no kids, except a fur baby (dog). I have lost 50 pounds so far (one year) looking to lose another 25 before next spring. I started doing P90 last fall, moved to p90x3 this winter (which I love!). I have not as much time to devote to p90x3 this summer because of softball two nights a week, but I try to get in at least 10,000 steps on my fitbit each day.

    I'm also training to do a 5K, and eventually a half-marathon. Couch to 5K is a great program! I hate every second of my slow running, but I just keep reminding myself that it's better than not getting off the couch. I also get really excited when I see the inches & pounds fall off!

    From Montana. Excited to have some people to help me stay motivated. I've always been heavy-ish, but I'm working very hard to change that.

    It snows & gets rather cold in MT in the winter, so I'd love any advice people have for running in the cold. I'm going to invest in UnderAmour for a base layer, but this is the first time I've been this committed to my fitness & I will not fall of the bandwagon when the snow falls. I do have access to a treatmill for when it's icy, but I prefer to be outside.

    Hello, everyone! I'm 23 and I started my weight loss journey back in June when I was closing in on close to 400 lbs. I'm currently at 340.2 and have a goal weight of 200 lbs.

    Would love to find more friends on here to help motivate one another.

    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.

    Hey everyone!
    My name is Tracy and I am a 36 year old mother of 2 boys. I am from Montreal Quebec.

    I am working on loosing the 28lbs I gained after I quit smoking. I have lost 7 so far, and keep bouncing around the same weight now for the past month.

    Getting tiresome!!!

    My goal is to get healthy and to feel sexy. There, I said it. I feel frumpy and old. I'm only going to be 37 next month but I feel like I'm letting my time fly by and not enjoying it. I find that being so overweight makes me reserved and cautious. I feel silly thinking I'm beautiful and I feel like my husband only wants me because has to. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I know I'm pretty, I know I'm a great mom and an ok wife. But I want to shine. So I'm working on losing 80 pounds. It's a long road, but I'm finally on it. I also have a goal of a Spartan Race trifecta next year because by procrastinating and being lazy I had to give up that goal this year. And I'm currently running again so I can train for my marathon in October next year. I'm on here to become accountable and hopefully make some new friends along the way who can both encourage me, and let me encourage them. :)

    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:
