Hello! I am looking for new, supportive friends for MFP! I would like to find people who have goals similar to mine. I'm a 25-year-old female with about 50 pounds to lose. I'm 5'7" and fairly active throughout the day since I'm a teacher, but I have a hard time getting motivated to actually go work out. I'm also working on eating properly and not having "cheat days" where I blow the whole day away instead of just having a treat here and there. If this sounds similar to you, add me!

    I fight a similar urge to stray a little without going off the rails for days at a time. I have about 30 pounds to lose and it is going really slow, about one pound per week.

    I need all the extra motivation to get up from my desk @ work, and actually take a break and move. Turning 30 in the next couple months and have a good 50 to 60 to lose...terrified of what turning 30 may do. Bad part is I have put on 20 in the psst year after switching jobs..yuck

    Hi. Feel free to add me. I feel your pain with the cheat days. I am like that every time the weather changes and the pressure bothers my arthritis. I too need to lose 50 lbs. but mine is so I can have surgery to get new knees. I used to be very active but having the knees go so far south the doctors are amazed I walk as well as I do kinda slowed me down a little. Now I'm looking for all the support I can get.
    I am a chocoholic so I started buying the peanut m&ms fun packs. I only allow myself one fun pack a day. I try to save it for the evening when I want a taste of chocolate but then I usually forget to eat it. I fine it easier not to overindulge that way. Good luck
