Hi! I'm Jenna, I'm 27 and I would like to lose about 70lbs! I've been using MFP for about 2-ish weeks and I've lost 5lbs. I've added a lot of people who were looking for supportive friends but the support has not really been mutual :/ (I do have some great friends! But they are sadly the minority) I'm pretty active on MFP and I like to comment on and like my friend's posts and I'm looking for people like me! People who give out motivation and support to their friends rather than just accept it from their friends but aren't supportive in response.

If you are an active, supportive friend and you're looking for motivation and support please add me as a friend! My diary and profile are open for my friends to browse, but they're locked to the general public.

    Yesssss I have the same problem as you!! I've actually been on MFP for many years (I think since 2011 or something) but then I fell off the wagon and all of my old supportive friends are no longer around. I'm also 27, want to lose 50 lbs, and I'm here every day. I love to comment on others' statuses and give motivation because I know that's what helped me lose weight before! Please feel free to add me, I could use a good motivation buddy :)

    I've accepted your friend request! Thanks for adding me!

    I love the sense of community too, it's really helped me to lose weight once before. Logging on and seeing that my friends have hit the gym or made great choices really spurs me on!

    Hi Jenna! I have been using MFP for a few years without friend support and would be happy to encourage you and would love some encouragement back. I am 32 and have a lot of weight to lose, 60 lbs to start :). Hope you are on track today!

    Hi Jenna, I'm in the same boat as you... have about 50lbs to lose, not found much support from the very little people I've added.
    But if there is anyone here that would mutually like some motivational support from me and can return the support back then please do add me.
    Just been off the band wagon for the past 8 days..kicking myself for that. But will start fresh again from tomorrow morning...

    Hi Jenna, I am here everyday and i will be happy to support you with you. I need supportive friends too. I have 2 goals, first i want to get down to 170 and if I can pass that my goal my dream weight is 150. I've lost 23 lbs with MFP so far so I know it works if we stay the course.

    I've sent you a friend request Tami! 23lbs is fantastic so far! I find it motivating to have mini goals too, when you see my profile you'll know what I mean! Haha

    Hola Jena, I'm 35 female from Chile. I don't want to lose to much weight, actually only 5 kilos, but I don't know why it is so difficult. I'm very new here and I also need support, specially when I get cravings. I will add you!

    Same here! Anyone can feel free to request me too. I'm a 31 yo mom of 4, I'm mostly looking to lose inches, not so much weight. I just want to be healthy and not so tired anymore!!
