Hey guys.. I really need the support. I did the MFP thing before and lost 40 pounds.. Lets say I feel off track awhile ago and gained some of that back.. I have started dieting and working out again. I'm about 10 pounds down so far in the last 1.5 weeks. Need friends to help keep me on track and slap me if I get off track again. Seems like all the people I had before are no longer around. I love doing this with other people because its a lot more motivating to keep pushing. I'd love to help other people as well. I'm looking to lose 95 pounds and get down to my goal of 135. I haven't been that weight since 8th grade or so.. so this would be life changing for me to get it done. I'm 25 years old. Figured it about time I change my life once and for all. I just recently moved to Orlando area.. don't know anyone here. All I have is work.. seems like a great time to focus on getting this done. I have no excuse.

Thanks everyone. :)

    Sending friend request. I've got 48 to go to get to 150 but in reality, I'd really like my long term goal to be 135-140... and I need the same motivation!

    I'm adding you too! It's been about a year now with MFP, and I've had my ups and downs but I know it worked best for me when I did this with other people! I'm signing up this week at the gym, and I'm all set to get back at it :)

    Thanks everyone. I accepted you guys. I'm so excited to do this.

    Just actually came back from lunch. We went to Cheesecake Factory with people at work. I ordered off the skinnylicious menu and only had like 420 calories with my meal. So proud of myself for my choices. Normally I'd dive into that bread and order some pasta dish. Probably like 1200-1500 for a meal. Shesh

    I'm with you!! I just joined again today. I had lost 50 lbs before, but got off track. I'm going to start back to my zumba classes today. I am also going to get a fitbit. I'm just learning all of this new technology but my goal right now is to lose 30 lbs.
