in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone. I am Rachel. I'm 21 and live in Florida. I need to lose about 15 pounds. I am actually a My Fitness Pal veteran lol. One year ago I lost 12 pounds by using MFP combined with exercise and the South Beach Diet, but I gained it all back (plus a few). So, I am looking for some nice, motivational, optimistic friends so we can support each other. I would like people who have similar goals to me. But even if they're different, that's ok, too : ) Reply to my post and we could be friends. Thanks!

    Hey! My name is Kaitlin and I'm 21 looking to lose about 25lbs. Just like you all I haven't had luck finding friends who are good at motivation. I say we all add each other and touch base (at least) once a week or more to encourage one another or see how we are all doing. We can defiantly help keep each other acountable in our goals :)

    Hi. I'm Emma, 20 years old. I agree, having people to motivate would be a good help. I want to hover round about where I am right now but in a healthy way so making up the calories with good, healthy foods rather than lots of chocolate... Good luck with your goals :)

    Hi, I'm Abbie. I'm looking to stay around the weight I'm at, but focus on being more active and making healthier food choices - and if I lose a few pounds, great! Feel free to add me - the more support and motivation, the better!!

    Welcome back! I did this back in 2013 and it worked. I'm back to tighten up for the summer. Also in Florida

    Hey everybody. I am always searching for new friends. Nothing beats an amazing support system and sharing stories of success! I am looking to drop 30 lbs total. I dropped 24 lbs while in Iraq. On my return home i slacked off because i felt as if i deserved a break. Huge mistake on my part. As the weeks and pounds came back i just could not motivate myself to get up and go. I am well on my way to my goal and i am looking to meet some great people along the way!

    I'm in a similar situation, and I find that giving and receiving support on MFP really helps! Anyone add me please

    I'm looking to lose 41 lbs and run a full marathon! I kind of slacked off for 2 years and the weight piled on. Running my old times is important but it won't happen if I'm this weight.

    Feel free to add me. I am curious to know how MFP friends can help. Do you guys get together to work out?
