Looking for friends to help encourage and motivate but most importantly be a great support group so together we can stay on track! I am along way off from my goal weight of 130.. I am 5'5 at 155... I log in daily and have been good at journaling my food.. even the bad stuff...

    Hi - I am a long time message board lurker but it's time to get out there. Feel free to add me - I am 43 yo, 5'2 and CW is 133. Looking to get to 120 (small frame). I also log in daily and yes there are some fast food entries there - but my strategy is portion control, going slow and being consistent. I'm aiming for 1/2 lb lost a week, so far have lost 10 lbs in about 5-6 months, but that was with intermittent dedication! :) Current calorie goal is 1280 and I eat back most of my exercise calories (run about 1x a week, hoping to make it to 3x most weeks).

    We can do it! Just need to keep at it and keep honest with ourselves.

    HI Ladies, would love to have more ladies on my list who will actually motivate. I'm 42 today, barely 5 ft tall and at 128 pounds. I'd like to lose up to 10 more pounds.

    Add me, please. :)

    This is how it works. Get your friends on board, work together ... those who are supportive will friend like minded others and you will start to "graduate" meaning approach goal together as one big happy family.

    Overwhelming as it may seem, you will have a better experience if you take the time to thoughtfully fill out your profile. Many MFP members won't friend someone with a blank profile. This means you have to get introspective, evaluate how you got here, set goals for yourself and offer something of interest to others.

    Also recommend you turn on email notifications for a while as sometimes friends will respond to older posts and you may miss that response.

    Personal experience - when I tried to peek at your profile I got an error message. MFP gremlins.

    It makes this much harder when you don't have support at home... Can I find some here?

    Many of my "friends" have fallen off the wagon. I'd love more active friends. I am currently part of a 6 week weight loss challenge and want to lose 7-10 more. I've lost 68lbs so far (not on this challenge) and am training for my first half marathon next month! I weightlift, go to a bootcamp three times a week and run. Would love like-minded friends who actually look at my diary &/or motivate! Feel free to add me!

    I'm a tall girl, (5'10") so my weight of 170 isn't shocking, really. But I would like to lose about 15-20 lbs and tone. As a mom of three, it can be hard to find the energy and patience to lose. But I'll get there. We all will! Feel free to add me, as well. I'm starting small with a goal of losing 10 lbs OR fitting in a pair of size 10 jeans I have that I love. We can do this! :smiley:

    Hi, I'm a few pounds/kilos short of my goal weight. I track everyday - the good, the bad and the ugly haha. My diary is a messy state of affairs as I've been travelling in America and now I'm home for Christmas.. feel free to add me :smile: !!

    Add me =] I track every day. It's Christmas, so there's more wine and chocolate than usual, but it's all about balance.
    I'm a personal trainer and a Kickboxer, currently trying to lose 2.5kg for my next fight in Feb.
    I'm also on Instagram, if that's your bag: @superpennie. I'll follow back =]
