    Hi Nancy,
    I'm new here so I don't know what I'm doing either. If you figure out how to add a friend first could you please add me. I'm 51 with 120 pounds to lose. I could really use a friend too. I'll try to figure adding friends out too. Then we can work together on this weight loss journey.

    Hey! I'm only in my mid-30s but I definitely share your struggle. I was doing OK last year but then fell off the food wagon and managed to gain about 10 more pounds over the last couple of months, Christmas killed me. Now I have to lose about 65 pounds (I'll still technically be overweight but I was happy at that weight before so it's my goal for now), and it's not easy for any of us. Heck, if it were easy, we'd all be at a healthy weight!!

    I'll add you as a friend.

    Hi Nancy, I just requested being a friend. I am 54. At my heaviest I was 160 (before MFP) . I am currently at 136 but I am determined to get down to 125 which I havent seen in over 30 years (funny but when I was 125 back in my 20's that was my "heavy"weight). Besides just making friends here, you should look into joining some groups. The ones that are helping to keep me motivated are called 1) . 150 days until summer (they have a spread sheet that you record your weight each week). 2) walk around the earth challenge (this is my favorite group to get me moving. Each week you post how many miles you walk/bike/swim/etc. and the creator of the group adds them up and posts where we are at. Unfortunately the creator of the group has been MIA for a week but the rest of the group, including me are still posting our miles). 3). Over fifty group (a nice group of people in our age range to chat with). And I just joined a new group called 6 week ultimate fitness challenge (it starts up on 18th so I have no clue what its about yet). Good luck and you can do it.

    To send a friend request, click on the blue user name on the left of the message. That will take you to a page with a button that says Send Friend Request.

    Friend requests will come as notifications in your email if you chose that option when you set up MFP. You can also see requests when you go to the "HOME" button on the top of every screen and look at the small icons, like envelopes, on the top of the Home page.

    You can do this. Remember it's not a race, it's a lifestyle. There will be great days, bad days, and days that you want to give up - don't!

    dietdoctor.com/without-a-doubt-definitely-the-best-decision-i-have-ever-made

    This woman's experience inspired me to keep doing what I am doing because I still have a ways to go. Getting the sense I was about to drown in my diet related health issues last year was what it took for me to get serious about keeping my health as long as possible. This time around I am working to develop an new eating lifestyle that will over time bring my weight back into a more healthy range with out ever craving for foods or trying to 'lose' weight again.

    Best wishes.
