Hi all. I'm starting an uphill weight loss journey (50 pounds) and I'm going to need some support. Most of the people in my life don't have weight struggles, so while supportive, don't really understand. Hoping some of you on here can help me feel a little less alone. And of course, I'd love to be a help to anyone who needs it! It's time to get fit and healthy :)

    Me too! I have an 18 month old daughter and have decided I finally need to get healthy to set a good example. I log daily, share my diary and need to lose 30 more lbs, (already lost 20 using mfp). I am willing to share encouragement with anyone who needs it. Please feel free to add me!!

    Please add me also! As a big girl with a really skinny boyfriend, I feel like even though I talk to him about it, he doesn't exactly understand. I'm really heavy at 210, when my body weight should be between 120-150 i need all the support I can get, cause I always crash and burn early. :<

    I've been on for a few years, lost 27 lbs before baby #2, now trying to get to goal weight, so I need to lose about 12 more lbs. I've just now started taking advantage of the community online with MFP, and already this week I have received the motivation I needed to make it through some stress without binge eating sugar :).

    That was a long way of saying I would love to help encourage you as we all work on this together!

    AlyssaRawrs, I feel you! My ex was a runner from Kenya, so he had zero understanding of the struggle. We'll get there! Thanks for the support, and you have mine :)

    I'm also looking for supportive and motivational friends on mfp! I have trouble with binge snacking. I'm doing alright with working out, but I just need to eat less. I have about 20lbs to lose to be healthy, but I'd rather lose 30lbs. People I'm close to tell me I look fine, but I know what my bmi says. I would love to have some friends to encourage and to be encouraged by.

    Karasunaki, I know what you mean about people saying you look fine. I carry my weight pretty well I guess. But my BMI is terrible, and I have a lot of work to do, no matter what others say. Plus, feeling good about yourself is what matters most. That's what I'm aiming for!
