I need FRIENDS!

I'm going to give this a shot, starting yesterday, and I'm looking for people to add me as a friend. I have no clue how to add Friends, but I do know how to accept people! I'm really looking for people to be accountable to and who will light a fire under my butt when need be!

I have a LOT of weight to lose, so if there's anyone out there with 100+ or 200+ pounds to lose I would especially love to hear from you! ALL friends are welcome though, even if you only have 5 pounds to lose -- we're all in this together!

    U can do it 2010 I took my grandson to the park.. he thought he saw his dads car at 2 yrs of age he ran off towards the street to who he thought was his dad ..At 320lbs I couldn't do a thing but shout out to come back..and a young man snatched him up before getting into the street...

    At that time I realized my condition... I won't tell u it was ez but it sure was worth it.. it took approx 2yrs but I went down to 150lbs and at 49 I was finally able to run the track

    I thank God for my children they took turns pushing me ummmmmmmmm I can b a bit stubborn. .. honestly if I did it u surely can do it

    I added you!! I feel like it really helps to have mfp friends. It's nice to people hugging and commenting on the good progress we make. Celebrating the small victories helps us keep striving to reach our goals. Anybody can add me too

    Hi Denise, I'm Roxanne.
    I'm new here to. 5days in it.
    I like plugging in my food and it keeps me accountable. But there are times durning work with the girls that I think about eating something off my plan. I am looking for support. Also I can't seem to get past 5000 steps during the week cuz I sit at a desk for 8 hrs.
    I'll see how to add you or send a request.

    You can add me. I really do not know if I can help at all. Look at my profile and decide if we match up. But if you decide to join me, "you have a friend in me" Toy story lyric.

    I also sit at a desk for 8 hours a day.. I started a new thing, I set an alarm on my phone for 45 minutes, when it goes off, I get up and walk around the building for a few minutes. Go to the bathroom and lately I have been walking up and down the stairs at least twice, it gets something in and not just sitting ALL day! I don't know if your job is flexible enough that you can walk around for a few minutes, but it is worth a shot, right?! :)

    I'm about a month away from 1 year of logging (and this is my second time around of MFP) but I always love new friends and try my best to like and comment on people's updates! :) Anyone just feel free to add me, too ^^

    I've 100+ pounds to remove! I've lost and gained so many times that I aim to do things a bit different this time around. I have been on MFP since 2011, but until recently never had any 'friends' on here. I think interacting with people will help enrich the experience. It sure makes logging in more fun. :)

    I'm sending out some requests, anyone here feel free to add me.

    I have a sit down job and I hate sitting!! Lol love the job though, but I do 30 mins of power walking In place every 2 hours. I work twelve hours shifts. I also have to be at work at 530 so before the co workers come in at 9, I do chair and office exercises from YouTube. I like it!!! I try to move as much as I can.
