Hi, I have been a member of MFP for about three or or four years now. Two years ago, I made some decent progress, losing 27 lbs in two months, but somewhere along the way, I fell off the wagon in a major way. Gained back all that I lost, plus a pretty sizable amount.

Well, I'm back and looking for some MFP buddies to add to my old ones! I'm a 25 year old woman, starting back at 290lbs, and ready for the long haul! Please feel free to add me!!

    Super proud of you for returning! It's not easy. I'm in the same boat with you. I was down 60, now I'm back up over the nemesis weight I SWORE I would never get back over. I've got close to 100 to shed now.

    Adding you! I'm 23 and 265. I was on MFP for about a month before falling off the wagon, and before that I did Weight Watchers and lost about 40 pounds. Well here I am with that and more to lose!

    Hi! It's definitely not easy to return to something like this, but we can do this! I'm 32 and 260. Lost 70 lbs about 6 years ago, fell off the wagon and gained it all back and then some, now I'm working on 100+ lbs.

    Good morning ladies,
    Just saw this post. I have never really looked into the community section but I am really determined this time around. I have used MFP before but haven't really stuck to it. I am 34 and need to lose 74 pounds. It's getting harder as I'm getting older. I would love to add some of you :smile:

    The first time I was on here, I had only 30 to lose. I met that goal, fell off the wagon, and now I have 53+ to lose. Feel free to add me!

    Everyone add me :) need more friends for motivation! Also, happy to be a weigh in buddy for any of you as well (once a week give our weight and/or loss to one another, and work towards our goals together!)

    I started at 290 too, when I was 27! :)

    (I'm about to turn 29, lol.)

    I take it way slow and whatnot, but it can totally be done.

    I am also in the same boat... I started about 2.5 years ago, losing 50lbs, and feeling great. Found myself in a rut and off the wagon, again, gaining 41 of back and running out of clothes to wear. Losing and maintaining a healthy weight is a lifestyle change and sometimes requires a good core/support group to do it. I have 67lbs to go to feel comfortable with my weight, but still above the medical standards of 119 lbs for my height. (HA)
    We Can Do It! :p

    I've finally decided to do something about my weight last month and started my long journey (100+ lbs). I'd love to have friends so I'll sent some friend requests.
