Hey there, new here, would love to have some friends on MFP to help motivate and be motivated by. Doesn't matter if you have 100+ pounds to lose like I do or if you're only 100 pounds trying to add muscle. Everyone is inspirational in their own way.

    I am new too, I am trying to lose about 25 pounds. I don't really have a deadline, but I just want to be healthier.

    Hi! Do you all have a program that you're following?

    I lost just over 90lbs 8 years ago, but only kept it off for 2 because I totally shot my metabolism. That's what you get for cutting cals too low and then eating a bunch of takeout, I suppose! Going to add weights this time around and keep cals reasonable ^_^

    Hello! I love the second part of your name 2FitChick. I've been on MFP several times but this time I have the right tool for me. I'm using the low carb method; not the easiest but the best for me. My motivation was I met a third person saying how she lost 40 lbs. She's older like myself and weight loss is difficult but not impossible. Take your long road ahead one step (day) at a time and you'll get where you're going.

    Hi numiah! Thank you!

    I'm on the band wagon too! Haven't limited it to grams yet, but trying to keep it around 25% of my total diet. Before it was easily half of my daily intake.

    I am not new to MFP but just trying to give it another chance. I know it works but it's hard for me to keep up with it all. I have lost about 16 pounds in the past 8 months or so for some odd reason since I haven't really been trying but I still have over 100 to go. I have problems with motivation. The last couple weeks I have been really trying but have only lost 1 pound. I'm hoping MFP will work and I can keep up with it. I did have a lot more friends on here but they tend to drop you if your not an active member so I am now down to 7! LOL
