Hi, everyone! I am a 42 year old professional with 3 children who are starting to leave the nest . It's hard! I have so many pounds to lose that I am a bit embarrassed to tell you here! I am looking for motivational MFP friends to go through this weight loss journey together and with some humor! Let me know if you are interested!

    I am a 25 year old graduate student who recently had surgery. I have gained slowly over the years, and want to get serious about getting healthy. I want to feel better about myself.

    I am 55 years old and started on MFP 11 weeks ago. It has been great! I've lost 41 pounds already, but still a long way to go. I'm also almost an empty nester, 3 kids, the youngest is 17 - it won't be long now!
    I have kept my profile private so far, but what the heck. I really enjoy seeing all the support and motivation from the community posts. It's the best way to pick up knowledge and get great insight into any struggle I'm having.

    I'm just starting on MFP too. I'm 39 and trying to get fit for the first time since college. I looked at a photo of myself in August and freaked out. I have the problem with having really POSITIVE self esteem and body image, even when I'm puffed up like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. :) Decided, with my 40th birthday looming in March, that this would be the perfect time to teach an old dog new tricks. My kids are 13 and 16, BTW, so not empty nested yet! I'm eating clean and making it to the gym for 30" cardio 5/week, and strength circuit 3/week. I believe I'm in week five right now. Weight is coming off slowly but surely, but I have a ways to go. Let's cheer each other on!

    I need more friends too! I'm 36, work full-time & have two kids (ages 6 and 1). I've lost 12 pounds so far but I have a lot more to go!

    I've fallen into a rut with eating all the same junk over & over again. I'd like to find friends to trade recipes & meal ideas with too!

    Lisseree - I always thought that I was just a little overweight too but apparently what I saw in the mirror & what others saw (or a camera) was way bigger!

    Hi all! I am 21 years old! I have no kids! Just me! I have been wanting to go on a diet and exercise and eat right sense I was 19. I would normally work out but for some odd reason I gained muscle instead of loosing weight. I am currently at 141 lbs. But would love to loose at lease 10. To me that seems very hard because it will be my first time actually doing something like this. Help me out and don't be a stranger.
