Please don't take offence but I

No offence taken. But I think it should be a "getting rid of fat buddy", mostly for you and your attitude towards weight loss.

Feel free to friend me. I only have around 10lbs to lose, but I will continue to log, and I'm on-line a lot.

Hi.....I started this journey at the end of November and have lost 17lbs so far. I still have a way to go approx another 3st. to where I think I should be. I log everything and am on here all the time. I don't know everything but I would be very happy to offer (and receive) support and encouragement. Please feel free to make me one of your fat buddies!

Hey there, I know how you feel. A number of my friends use MFP but they use it to measure their extremely active lifestyles, challenge each other to bike/run further/faster and to monitor their calorie intake when their weight fluctuates up 1kg from perfect. It's the kind of life I would like to have but I have a heck of a long way to go. I'm 35 days in and going strong, got the food under control, getting there with the exercise. Will send you an add friend request.

Thanks everyone it's so nice to know your not alone I've lot 9lbs this week so feeling motivated which is just as well as I've got a looooooong way to go xxx

Every journey starts with the first step - and this first step you did very well! 9lbs is a great start! Keep on that great work!

You're certainly not alone! I've been using MFP for a few weeks - with about 5 stone to loose. I also use Fitbit to track steps, which does sync very well to MFP. I have learnt an awful lot from the community on here, which has also helped spur me on. I too have a long way to go, but I'm beginning to see that the first few days were the hardest and gradually it does get easier and become a habit, tracking food & calories.

Hi there!

I think I probably need to lose about 6 stone too, but I'm aiming for about 5, and will then see how I feel. I've been a bit of a diet failure (having tried to lose weight for years - hence the username!) but gave myself a fresh start this month.

I like to think I am quite a supportive friend on here. Will send you a request, although no problems if you now have enough friends!!

Hi!! Please add me....I need some support too. I have lost 150 lbs and gained about 20 lbs. back. thanks to MFP, I have shed about 13 of that. I won't say that you can do this but rather you ARE doing this. You don't have to be perfect to have success.....just keep taking this day by day.

Does anyone know if the Nike pro band connects to myfitnesspal?
