Hi!

Not so new to this, I joined last year and lost 27 pounds. Gained a little less than half back. Getting back on track, trying to lose the last 25 or so pounds for good this time.

I'm looking for people to encourage/provide encouragement. Maybe swap recipes (I generally eat a high fat diet, no refined carbs, carbs mainly from fruits, veggies and dairy. I wouldn't say I'm low carb, but it is a by-product of eating the foods that make me feel best and lose the most weight). I am a big fan of Erica Hermans book Eat Like a Fatass Look Like a Goddess and try to adhere to what she recommends.

I like to work out, but feel so meh about it these days. I want to breathe new life into this goal of mine. I came so close to reaching it and I don't want to fail again.

Anyways, please feel free to add me!

    Not so new to this either. I've been at this a few years. Last year I did really well and lost 25 pounds however I have put back on 10 of those due to the stress eating during my resent breakup. I would love to have a little extra motivation.

    My aunt and I go to the gym three times a week. She is 52 and an amazing motivation. But I would like someone a little closer to my own age to chat with :)

    Hey, everyone! My name is Auri and I'm 25. I'm new to this group! (as well as MFP!) I have struggled with weight my entire life and I'm ready to finally put it all behind me. I have lost 30-50 lbs in the past, but was never successful at keeping it off. My first goal is to reach losing 100lbs! I hope I get to meet some of you guys and encourage you on your journeys as well! :)

    Hey guys, I'm Mayu and 22. I've used MFP at times in the past and worked well for a few weeks but always forget and loose track and it all goes south. I'm working on small term goals as I've got a long way to go. Looking to get back on to it and need some motivation from people in the same boat to stop me from quitting/forgetting ha!

    Hi! Feel free to add me - looking for people who are encouraging and are open to new ideas on how to stick to our goals. Looking to lose 25-30 (from college and life). Managed to switch my smoking habit to a gym habit and I love it. The hubby and I go at least 5 times a week. Time to get rid of the little bit I'm not so fond of and tone it up!

    Hi there!
    I'm Madison and I will be 24 in just a couple of weeks. I am a little over half way to my weight loss goal (28ish pounds lost so far :smiley: ) and I would love some help keeping on track and staying motivated. I am most motivated when I am seeing results, but ever since I hit that "half way mark" in my goals, my progress seems to have slowed down, even though I'm sticking to my healthy lifestyle.
    Hoping to make some new friends to keep the spirit & passion high as I try to power through these last pesky 22 pounds! Add me! :wink:
