My name is Corrine and though I just started using myfitnesspal, I am no stranger to the site. I am currently starting my third venture to lose weight. I have don't it twice already successfully but was not able I maintain. I am 23 years old and started at 208lbs. Most I have ever weighed in my life. I would love to meet some supportive friends on the site since I don't know many people who use it.

    Hi Corrine! I am much more experienced at this than you (will be 49 this year!) I have had to work at my weight my entire life!!! I have been on this sight, Weight Watchers (actually became a Lifetime member 21 years ago), all protein diets, Usana... but I have not been back to my goal weight in about 5 years now. You will learn something new from each attempt at losing... so don't feel that you have failed. Going back to bad habits will only put you further from your goal - so just keep trucking and take it one day at a time!!

    Hi Corrine! I'm definitely going to add you. It took me so many times to actually stick with weight loss. And I've had a few ups and downs over the last year- but even so, I have come back and haven't had any major gains from taking a few weeks off here and there. I would love to be friends and help encourage you!

    I know exactly how you feel, this is my third attempt with MFP. I've been really sucessful, and manged to maintain for quite a while and then I've slipped back (and repeated the pattern), everyone feel free to add me :) hopefully we can motivate each other and make it permanent this time

    Hi Corrine!! This is my second time and I'm hoping to stick with it. Besides my sister (who by the way does not know the challenges of a heavy set girl lol), I don't know anyone else using this site. Lets support each other to achieve our goals!

    Hi and good luck to you! I've tried many times and failed to maintain it too. Once lost 3 stones and surpassed my losing weight goal...then I added it all back on plus a bit extra ^^
    Trying it again and hopefully it'll stick this time :) I currently weigh 68kg and I'm trying to get to 55 hopefully!

    Again goood luck and keep going! ^^

    Ahhh doesn't it stink! But at least you want to do it again! Same with me, I couldn't imagine not doing something now and then seeing where I would be a few years down the road. Better late than never! Thanks for the encouragement and good luck to you as well!!

    Hi! This is my third attempt with this site. Last year I lost 35lbs by using the 21 day fix, then gained it back when we moved our family from Hawaii to Connecticut. I'm the mother of 4 and I want to be ready for our summer time adventures. I'm always in need of motivation, so if you or anyone else wants to add me that would be great :)
