Hey all,
So I just read an article on MFP saying that the #1 thing you need to do if you want to loose weight is find friends to do it with. So, this is me, looking for friends!
About me : I'm French, 34-yo and I started my diet almost a year and a half ago and lost 52 pounds so far and want to loose about 20 more but... Well I feel kind of stuck. I don't have anyone to share this experience with because all the people I know who got interested in MFP gave up. Moral support is really important on this journey and I don't feel people around me understand what I'm "going through" and that I need an extra push. I also would like to get more fit in the little time I have free.
But I'm not only looking for support, this is a 2-way street. I can myself be a support to help others loose the weight... And I can give cooking advise

Well, I don't really get any support... Sometimes it feels like people ignore what I'm doing altogether. I know I can do it, I just need someone to believe it with me! So good luck to us!0

Yeah.. People need to believe and acknowledge our effort. Its not a easy thing to say NO to our favorite food. It feels good when people do recognize our efforts and compliment us! Even if its a small victory of 1lbs drop or a old cloth fitting now.0
