    Hi Brenda, my name is Megan. I'm a newbie to MyFitnessPal, I've tried it before but only stuck with it for a few weeks. I have a better support system and more motivation now to lose weight. Maybe we can help motivate/inspire each other?

    Hi Brenda, I'm Ashley. I'm 27 and am down 57 lbs with 43 left to go to hit my 100 lbs. I've lost my motivation to eat healthy and exercise and today I'm feeling it. Would love some encouragement to get off of my butt. :)
    CONGRATS on what you've lost so far and I know you can do it! :)

    Hi ladies! Just consider me your auntie on the same journey. I'm a gramma who kicks butt in jazzercise 5 times a week. I modify some movements and sweat lots. Myfitnesspal motivates me to exercise - when I exercise I can eat more. On this journey I see my body changing but don't see the scale move. That's OK, it will. My instructor says our bodies change from bags of marshmallows to bags of rocks - great image - guess which weighs more but takes up less space? Anyway, we can do it! WE are worth the effort.

    I've lost 101 pounds with 50 left. Been at it 14 months. I've lost weight every month despite some unexpected medical challenges. I've had many opportunities to make valid excuses for giving up but have not done so. Many things keep me going, but on the worst days I remember how awful I felt mentally and physically 15 months ago. I don't want to go back there, so info what I commited to do to keep moving ahead. Loving the slimmer fitter body that's emerging!

    Hi I'm in the same boat, I'm aiming to loose 100lbs, I've lost 31 so far! I'll add some of you if that's ok? I've been doing it so far without using the support here but I think it would help me to start using it.

    Hello, Brenda and all on this thread! I'm by no means a success but I'm hoping to be. I'm 33 years old, a mom of three, a wife, Mexican, and have more than 100 pounds to lose. I've been on and off this app since my first baby was born. My third baby just turned 7 months old and I'm still only a few pounds lighter than when I started! It's gonna happen, though. It's gotta! Any of you can add me as I plan to help any way I can. I am a more effective motivator when it comes to helping others than when it's about helping myself. Good luck, much strength, and big hugs to all!

    Hey ladies! I am looking for some support, and encouragement in my journey as well. I really needs to lose about 150 lbs or so...and it is so hard to do by myself, I seem to lose my sense of purpose from time to time. I've started and quit myfittnesspal a couple of times, but I really, really need to stay with it!!! And having active friends to check in on me would help I think. I don't have anyone in my life that I can use as an accountability buddy...most everyone just says "oh, did you get tired? That sucks!" And that doesn't help me at all!! Lol so if you're looking to help someone, and I'll do my best to help you too, please add me. Mention this post though, please... I may forget and freak out about a random person I don't know trying to add me!! Lol sorry! And good luck to all of you!

    I am so bad about encouraging myself and staying on track!!! But I love to help others succeed! Funny how that works huh?
