Hi MFPer's

My nickname is Honeybee. I will be 34 soon. I am finally trying to get on the bandwagon of losing 59 pounds and I am trying to find a good few friends in my journey with! I was on MFP in 2013 and lost some weight and had a friend or two who really encouraged me. My weight gain and body image started when I was 12 years old after I was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder. I always used candy and sweets to cope. Not much of a salt junky :) In 2009 I went through a huge illness and was hospitalized and put on a really bad combination of medications. I went from being 158 lbs to after the hospital stay 2 weeks later at 174. by the summer of 2010 I weighed in at 205 lbs. My weight gained continued and when I went to see a specialist in January of 2011, I topped in at 230 lbs. Currently I am 214 lbs. I am 5 foot 6 inches and ideally want to weigh around 155 lbs. So that leaves me with 59 pounds to shed...which is cool because 59 is my favorite number. At 185 lbs I will be considered overweight and not obese. I gained a lot of weight too during those years because I flocked to pop as my idol and comforter. Alone if I completely give up pop, I am sure I will lose. I was to the point of drinking 5-6 32oz pops a week. Yes, I can do the math!!! It sure added up! Regular pop too because I can't stand diet.

Anyways, I am looking for a few good, faithful friends on here who are totally 110 percent in! I am a born again Christian whose aim is to lose weight to glorify God and to please Him. I would love to find a few friends with similar religions. Also I will only friend women, because I am happily married to my husband of 9 years and don't want to interact daily with men. Thank you for being considerate of my request.

    Hi, my nickname is Mahdjhi Love and I am 26 yrs old. I am wanting to lose 100 lbs and I have lost about 46 already. I was 513 lbs 4 months ago, but now I am 467. I would love to be your losing buddy! just to know that I have some one to relate to, makes this long hard road to weight loss all that much easier to travel. My ultimate goal weight is 150, to perhaps be bikini worthy one day ;) but all in all, I too am a Christian and consider myself a kingdom woman who loves a honest friend! Thanks for listening :)

    Hi! I need to lose 59 pounds, too. I am 234 right now, and I hope to get down to 175. It's right at the top of the "normal weight" range for me. Please friend me if you would like. I got on here before, and I hope to be on here for the long haul...at least a year, maybe more.
