in Introduce Yourself
Well, here I go again. Up, down, up, down. Can anyone relate? (I know, I know. What a stupid question!) Looking for friends who need to lose more than 100 lbs, who have done so in the past and are ready to do it again, this time...for EVER. Let's encourage and motivate each other! Only the positive, supportive and determined need apply! I will give the same in return. I hope to talk to you soon.

    Welcome! You can add me. I have lost a total of 38 lbs (18 since I started MFP) and want to lose another 122 pounds. This is a great site to use. It's my 6th week and I'm just as motivated as ever!

    Oh I can so relate. I lost 105lbs about 12 yrs ago and kept it off for about 4 yrs and then got fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and hypothyroid. I gained alot of weight due to the meds and lack of exercise. I kind of gave up and started comfort eating. Well over the last 8 yrs I have gained it all back + a little more. So I started back on the weight loss journey in July and have lost 61 lbs, I have 39 more to lose until I reach 100 then I will evaluate where I am and see if I want to try to lose more. I would love to join you in supporting and motivating each other. We did it before , we can do it again this time for keeps

    Hi, Welcome to the site, i'm kinda new too. I have lost 40, need to lose another 50 -60. You are welcome to friend me, I am very serious about getting healthy and losing weight. I have a mini goal of losing 20 before my 50th b/d on June 1 and I need support and motivation too. I am super happy I joined this site because keeping track of my calories is working. My advice, if u bite it, write it!!

    YES YES YES I know how you feel! My highest was 327 - it took two years to get 100 pounds off. It wasn't easy but it was a journey. I gained about 30 pounds back this fall (ugh) and that's why i joined MFP. It can be so hard when you have SO much to lose but making mini goals is the best way to do it . My goal weight is 160 but honestly i'd be thrilled to be under 200 since I haven't been there in almost 10 years! I'm currently in the 250's so i have about 90 to go. We can do it!

    I'm right there with you. I had lost a ton of weight before but then due to life issues and pregnancy I gained it all back and then some. I've lost 13 lbs so far and have 130 to go to reach my goal weight. I have a terrible time with will power and I need all the help I can get!! So feel free to add me!

    Just sent a friend request. I am also wanting to add friends with 100+ to lose. I find it inspiring when I see others who are being successful.
