Hi, all! I'm new here and looking for friends to exchange motivation, accountability, and make this a FUN journey! :# Feel free to add me...I'm still kinda getting acquainted with all the MFP gadgets, lol. I've got 30-50lbs to get me into my goal range, squashing the binge eating monster, and trying to make this a great experience!

    Hi I too need to loose 30 lbs would like to loose 50 pounds and would jump up for joy if I lost 70 pounds. My first goal to loose a pound instead of gaining more weight. I spoke to a nutritionist and she encouraged me to use Fitness Pal and as I joined I see that I have been a member for a really long time. So I am not new just returning. I love Leslie Sansone Walk at Home Program and I also enjoy going to the gym 3-4 times a week. My problem is not the workout but the diet.

    Hi, I started going on my 50 pound weight loss journey the first week in June by joining a gym and trying to work out at least four days a week doing cardio and strength training. So far I'm down about 6 pounds. I'm a scales freak so it gets me that the pounds aren't going down faster than I want them to but the inches are going down too. I'm trying to do lower carb (100 or less) and higher fat and protein. I also try to do intermittent fasting (12 to 14 hours between supper and breakfast. Read about that on Nowloss.com.

    I'm not sure how to add someone on, but if anyone needs a buddy, I'm game. I wish everyone in this group much luck and best wishes in their weight loss journey.

    Hi All! I joined MFP a few years ago but forgot about it until my sister and I agreed to do it together today. I could definitely use friends and motivation on here! I want to lose 50 lbs in total, but my first goal is to lost 20 lbs I've gained in the past few months. I love good food, so this is going to be a challenge for me, but I am excited to start seeing results.
