    Hey everyone! I saw this thread and I had to post something! I'm a college student struggling against those pounds I gained during my first two years of school. Don't want to gain anymore! I'm actually now studying Nutrition and Wellness :) I find this topic so interesting in how different food affects our bodies! One thing I learned is There is no such thing as 'Good' or 'Bad' foods, You just have to be aware of what nutrients your putting in your body and make sure its what your body needs to be healthy. All things done in moderation! haha Anyway I love adding friends on here! (please send a message with request) Look forward to seeing everyone's progress and helping support y'all. Good Luck!

    Hey guys!

    I'm Kristin. I'm 25. Lost 90 lbs so far. Still have quite a ways to go. I'm working towards a career in federal law enforcement and will be finishing up my Master's degree in less than one month. After that, I am going through basic law enforcement training and I need to get my butt in gear with running especially so I survive BLET and then academy after that. Looking for supportive/motivating friends because while the weight loss has come fairly easily (so far, I know it will start getting tough soon), running has been a real struggle for me.

    I'm at almost 210 days. I log daily and my diary is open. Definitely could use tips and friends right now.

  • Hello

    I live in UK, Greater Manchester.

    I have just joined and looking for some new friends to help support and motivate me through my weight loss journey.

    Mission is to lose 100 pounds....
  • Hiiii
    in Katie 22 from England, Shropshire to be exact.
    iv always been too big, the fat friend as they say.
    i dropped all my weight and got to my ideal weight for height which was 9 stone as im only 5ft3.
    fell in love with my new slender bod and fell pregnant, cant say my weight gain is because of pregnancy as i was a skinny pregnant, suffered with food sickness throughout.. 5years and 2 babies later im the heaviest iv ever been and heavier now then when i was pregnant!! I exercise as much as i can i love fitness and sports but its not shifting my weight so i need to sort my eating out.

    im rather muscly which is started to get me down too as my legs are HUGEEE but its literally rock hard muscle same with my shoulders etc, because im a horse rider i do have to keep strong and i do lift weights at the gym. But i don't like the look of it!

    anywho, i need friends who will help and support me so please add me :)
  • Do I have to.....
  • Hi,
    I've been very fit and very unfit in my life time. I ran a marathon and a half marathon 3 years ago. However for the last two years I've been slowly piling fat! Bad food choices and hectic lifestyle (I'm a doctor) = my pants don't fit anymore.
    I feel incredibly stupid telling my patients to lose weight knowing that I should probably do the same!
    So I want to start practicing what I preach and be an example!!!

  • Hey :-) Im Heather and Im new to the whole weight loss journey.
    Im 18 from England and Im aiming to lose around 20lb to be fitter and be able to be more toned.
    Im a gym-goer and mix between weights and cardio.
    I always manage to complete a few weeks of a diet before falling back into old habits - which led me to join here in order to keep motiviated.

    Cant wait to get to know you all :-)

    Hello! I'm Rachel, 23 years old, and I'm from Missouri. My goals are to develop good eating habits, and make exercise part of my routine. I've been working the night shift as a nurse for the past 6 months and have gained a bit of weight since then that I would like to lose. :) looking forward to encouraging others and helping each other work towards our goals!

    Whats up MFP Forums!

    I'm Katelyn, 28 years old, 5'7" and happy to say now 248 lbs (only happy cause thats down from my all time highest of 298). It's took me years of on and off diet and exercise to get where I am now, but I'm feeling the most focused and ready I've ever been to start living a lifestyle instead of crash dieting.

    This time I'm 30lbs down, and have 50lbs to go before my wedding next May! Having friends is nice, so I'm posting on here. Would be awesome to talk to people who are in the same range as I am. Yay! :heart:

    Hey, 23 from Maryland. :)

    Never made a very serious long-term attempt at weight loss but now that I:

    a) am diabetic

    b) have pcos

    c) am getting dangerously close to 300 lbs, something I always told myself would NEVER happen to me....

    Something's got to give. Feel free to add me and talk to me any time. I don't have a great support system in real life so I would like to get that here! :smile:

    My name is Anel and I'm from South Africa.
    Never been the smallest kid but was quite active in high school. After school at university I lived of fast food and late nights. Made some life changes about 5 weeks ago and lost 6kg so far (13 pounds). I would like to lose 14kg more (30 pounds), then I will see how much more I want to lose to be happy. Taking it one day at a time. Not punishing myself but always trying to make the healthier choice. Still struggling with an exercise routine but trying to do weights a couple of times a week.

    Hi!

    I'm Archana, from India, currently living in UAE. I have 38 pounds so far and have about 88 lbs to go.

    I try to work out 5 days a week and eat clean. Would love more friends for motivation, inspiration and accountability. I have some fantastic friends from all over the world in MFP. If not for them, I'll still be wallowing in morbidly obese despair!

  • Hi all, my name is Amelia. I'm 38. I haven't really struggled with my weight because I just didn't care tbh.... and now I have agreed to drop 4 dress sizes (about 20kgs) by april next year, I will admit I am struggling. The mindset of happily being a glutton is a difficult concept to undo. I love food. I love alot of food. However since joining mfp and the gym, I now also appreciate accountability and cheering squads so feel free to add me and enjoy your day!

    Hey guys!
    I'm 27 and from New Zealand. I've come back to MFP because I'm tired of always sabotaging myself after I've lost some weight. I'm ready to leave that negativity behind me and start this journey. I'm getting married next year and it's not just about fitting in the dress but about starting a life with someone and feeling good about myself now as well as being able to feel good in the future.
    :)
    I want to lose that last 10 kg! Let's do it together!

    Hiya! I'm Steph from Canada. I started working nights and it messed up my flow. I ended up gaining a ton of weight over the last couple of years. So now I'm looking to lose about 80lbs. I try to log every day as well as post status updates. I work out and lift weights, and I took my first kickboxing class last week.
    I don't think of this as a diet, more like a lifestyle choice. I still eat all the foods I love, but at a deficit and watch my macros closely.
    I'm looking for friends for mutual encouragement and to help keep each other on track. Yay!

    Why not! 7-12 pounds to go. Then on to start a very slow bulk.

    Hi All, I'm Natasha, 28 from England! I have a six year old son and have been trying to lose weight since giving birth in 2008!

    From 2010 - 2011 I lost most of the weight but over the past few months the pounds are creeping back on and so I have re-joined MFP to get back to my goal weight and maintain it :smile:

    Hoping to make lots of friends to share this rollercoaster with!!

    Woo! *comments* :P
    I'm Krissy, I have lost 80lbs so far and hope to lose another 59lbs at least, it honestly depends how I am when I get there because I've never been that me all, not even in my teens!
    My next goal is to lose another 4lbs getting myself to 195lbs and having a total of 6 stone lost :)

    I live in England and split my time between my home in Bedfordshire and my mothers in Manchester helping care for her.

    It's my goal to start joining exercise classes as well as gyms in both areas so I have no excuses! I would love to meet people local to either area who would like to accompany me too :)

    Your DP is so inspiring Krissy. Amazing job! Im on a bit of a flunk the past week and trying to figure out why... Posts like yours inspire me to keep going!
