in Motivation and Support
Hello! I've been on MFP for what seems like forever, just a couple months though. Looking for people in a similar boat who would like some motivation and support, and new friends! :D

Also,

I'm pretty great.

And I love sarcasm.

....and Supernatural, and Harry Potter, and LOTR, and The Hunger Games.

Also, I'm trying to break my addiction on binge watching Netflix......


Anyone feel free to add!!!!

    Hey!! I am 24...tomorrow :D I started my weight loss journey end of June, have lost 38 pounds so far! I am 5' 11", SW 260, CW 222, 62 more to go :)

    I as well binge watch far too many shows on Netflix..on my days off of work when I am at home cleaning I will play a series episode after episode and be done a season in a matter of days.

    I am looking for friends too, I find it hard to connect with others close to me in my life in regards to my journey because they just don't understand what it is like.

    I am here if any of you all want to talk, or are looking for a friend :smile:

    @kaitlinj0410

    Happy early Birthday!!! And congrats on that weight loss.

    &I started Parks and Recreation yesterday, almost on the last season already. It's like a sickness! Lol.

    Also, I 100% agree that connecting with "real life" friends for weight loss is just too hard. So many people have so much other stuff going on, it's hard to find someone as committed to losing weight as I am.

    That's why I love MFP and the people who use it!

    :D

    I need some extra motivation too! Anyone can add me :)

    I'm 22 and I also love Supernatural and all those other movies/shows. In fact I know I spend too much time in front of a screen. Going to be working hard to break that habit!

    I too need more motivation/support/help staying accountable to lose weight and would love to help return the favor for some of y'all. Anyone feel free to add me. I periodically start this journey, make a decent little headway and then get overwhelmed and fall off the bandwagon for months at a clip. Crazy busy life and all that. >.<

    I just recently got into Game of Thrones and have always enjoyed Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. I also love Penny Dreadful and AHS.

    I work crazy hours most weeks that make it hard for me to find the motivation to do anything other than go see my horse, go home, eat and sleep. I need all the help I can get. LOL

    I love supernatural, star trek and generally consider myself a bit geek. I'm 5' 6' 180lbs. This is my second time seriously trying to lose weight. The last time, I started at 260 and made it to where I am today. Let's do this.

    Oh wow, that's close to where I'm starting from now. I started at 245 and my goal is to get below 200 right now. Good luck on your goal!

    20 years old and trying to lose around 45lbs! I love Harry Potter, Supernatural and pretty much everything everyone has listed. I binge watch Netflix excessively instead of studying for my classes. I am looking to get really invested in MFP again because the first time I lost 45lbs and now I'm trying to lose it all over because I just lost touched. Anyone feel free to add me, I want to be motivated and feel really amazing when I go to festivals this summer.

    I'm over 100 lbs overweight, 21, and a bit of a nerd too. I prefer anime but i like HP, scifi stuff (Nightvale woot), LOTR, corny 80's movies, Marina and the Diamonds, Electroswing, cosplay, and recently I've been getting into Lolita/Victorian fashion. I'm in college so finding the time and money for weightloss and anything else is hard for me. Add me if you want to.

    Hi All!

    I'm at the older end of this group, 28, but in desperate need of more friends! I've been at this for far too long and need to stop falling off track. I love the Hunger Games. I found the Divergent series a little disappointing (my guilty pleasure is ABC family shows). I also love watching crime shows (Criminal Minds, Investigation Discovery)

    I'm right around 200 now, but would like to get down to somewhere between 125-135.

    Please feel free to add me anyone who is active and motivated on this site :smile:

    I'm 23 and also love HP and just finished watching some Game of Thrones with my husband as a date night. We have just bought the seasons as they are available, so not up to date. I'm also looking for friends and encouragement so feel free to add me. Since my wedding back in December, I've stopped exercising as much and watching the food I eat. I've been on here for about 2 weeks trying to at least get back to my pre-wedding weight. Hoping to lose about 20 pounds.

    Congratulations on overcoming your ED! I couldn't imagine how tough that is to beat.

    And I just found out Netflix is going to start streaming all seasons of Friends.
    So basically I'm never going to leave my house. Lol.

    Glad to have you on my friends list, and good luck with your weight loss goals. I'll be sure to follow along.

    I have found my people! Hello everyone!
    23. 5'3 shrimpy shrimp. SW: in the 190s. CW: 168-ish? (depending on the time of day goes between 167.5 and 168.2) Down 25 lbs in about 8 months. GW: between 128-136.
    Loooooooove Supernatural. (Dean girl but I'll cut anyone who hurts Sam or Cas.)
    Also love GOT and LOTR.
    Wonder Woman is my homegirl.
    Feel free to add.

    I was actually trying to make an exercise regimen that would give one the proper stamina to keep up with Sam and Dean (on a hunt, minds out of gutters!) and could be tweaked for other fandoms (Hunger Games, Agents of SHIELD, etc).
    Maybe we could try and figure out something like that together?? Bond a little by making ourselves just as badass.

    Does anyone here do any strength-training/heavy-lifting?
    I'm needing a little assistance in maneuvering that strange land.
