    5'4", 27, mother of 2, was up to 280. I'm at 250 now and want to get back under 200! Need a support system that doesn't include "I'm going to eat this but you can't"... Got the Fitbit flex for Christmas, too!
  • I've just started my journey to lose at least 75lbs. I'm a 25 y/o mother of two. I have been overweight pretty much since my son was born. I finally started to lose weight and got pregnant with my daughter who is now three. Ever since she was born my weight and habits have gotten horrible and now I weigh more than I did when I was pregnant. I weigh 250 lbs and feel so bad. So it's time for me to take back my body and get into shape. But I have no friends or family who are overweight or looking to lose weight. I would really love to find a great support group! :)

    Very nice to meet you all. I have delt with weight issues my whole life. I remeber how big I thought I was at 150, which I was about 15 pounds over weight then, but if I only knew then what I Know now ;) My Dr. Put me on Phentermine, but I can only get it for 3 months, so I am using it as a kick start to a life time of healthy eating habits. Looking forward to losing with you all.... Winning :) lets do this!

    Why only 3 months?

    Hi everyone! My name's Kelly. I'm 5'9" and 280 lbs. I have been in denial about the weight I have been gaining since I graduated college. I worked retail management for four years after and the yucky food court got to me. I am now in law school and want to get healthy not only because my body needs it but because good lord is it hard to find nice business clothes that fit. My goal weight is 165 (because that's technically within a healthy range for me), but I remember feeling healthy at 180. I've got a long way to go so I could use some friends!

    You can add me as a friend, too. I am 177.6 lbs now, but I use to weigh 259 lbs. I think encouragement from friends helps in weight loss.

    Feel free to add me :) I have 60lbs to lose although I might change that goal as I get closer to it. I lost a bit of weight before but the scales tell me I regained over Christmas - I'm hoping it's mostly water weight!

    Feel free to add me. I started at just under 200 in March 2014 and I've slowly lost 25lbs and quite a few inches. I'd still like to lose another 25lbs even if it takes as long as the first 25. I don't post a lot but I'm a great cheerleader. :)

    Hi all! I'm looking to lose 50 pounds by August/September, and change my lifestyle so the pounds do not come back. Please add me if you are looking for a friend with the whole lifestyle change mindset and not the 'just need to lose XX for that one time and then back to pizza I go' :P Remember to love yourselves no matter what, and do this for the right reasons!
  • I would love some support too - I want to lose 40-50 pounds. I have used MFP in the past with success. Then my son was born, and I gained it all back! Now he's 20 months old so I can't exactly use him as an excuse anymore! :-)

    Hello everyone. I am looking to lose about 40 pounds. I was in the military and was fit most of my life. I retired, had a hysterectomy, got lazy and gained too much weight. I really have a low self esteem at the moment. I want to get healthy and fit again. I know my biggest problem is snacking and not doing any exercise. Please add me if you would like to do this journey together.

    I'm a 30 year old mom of three. My youngest is 4 and I've still never lost the baby weight. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 172 now, I would like to get down to 145. I'd also appreciate support. Also, I've noticed some mentions of fitbit. What is some user feedback on them?
