I learned about MFP from my friend Jacque and I love it! I have approx. 55 lbs to lose and I've already lost 8 since I started on February 22. I love the New Feed option and the fact that you can support your friends through their weight loss journey, but I only have ONE friend! Encouragement and accountability is what helps me the most........anyone want to be my friend? <3

Thanks!
Mary

    YAY! Friends!!! It's so much better when you can share with and support other people with the same struggles.....I have many friends in my life that NEED to be on this website that don't want to be bothered with it.....I cannot live the way I am any longer.

    Thanks!!!!

    I have nearly 100 pounds to lose. I have fallen off the wagon many times over the years. Now that I am here I find myself wanting to report all the stuff I eat, no matter how bad and it keeps me in check most days. i struggle with the push for exercise. I need to stop with the excuses and get moving. Come on Spring!

    Count me in and add me as a friend I need as much encouragement as I can get and I will give loads back in turn. I joined at the start of February as I turned 30 and decided that its now or never.

    I need more friends as well. I'm the same way...I work better when I have kudos and continuous encouragement! Good luck on this journey. I'm looking to lose about the same amount as well, but I have a long term goal of 1 pound per week. I might step it up in the future, but for now, this is a perfect plan for me. Good luck on your journey!
