Hello~ I'm not on MFP long but feel free to add me
(Btw we're about the same height! )0 -
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.0 -
Ad me if you like. We have similar weight and goals.0

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. 1 -
I'm 41 years old, 5'5 and about 145lbs. Have been diagnosed pre-diabetic. Need motivation to eat healthy and exercise.0

Feel free to add me too. As I'm struggling big time with motivation xx0

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.0 -
I tried to send a friend request, but got an error message.0

It makes this much harder when you don't have support at home... Can I find some here?1

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!0

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!

Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm in my 150's, 5'6", and though my goal weight is ideally 135, I'm looking to be lean and toned.0

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 !! 0

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 =]0 -
Feel free to add me! I'm 5'6'' and around 160. I'm trying to get down to around 140.0

Hey all! I'm currently 174lbs and want to get down to 149lbs - eek 25 lbs!
I was 149lbs up until February 2015 then a rotten disability in one leg, hip, foot & shoulder began to take its toll on my activity levels. Suddenly the pounds seemed to fly on at a rate I never expected. It seemed like one day I woke up and things that fit me only a few weeks before wouldn't zip up! I take responsibility for this though. There is more I could have been doing with my diet and with my cross trainer... I wasn't paying close enough attention and... to be perfectly honest I feel like I've blobbed about on the couch feeling sorry for myself for most of the year...
No more!! No excuses!! I started using MFP to track my food and a Fitbit to track activity on 17 December, so this is day 10! In that time I've lost 6 lbs so here's hoping it continues! The arthritis will flare up and give me bad days, I know that and I'm prepared for them, I just need to make sure they don't erode my motivation.
For me I feel like the weight loss part is easy, as I have discipline in spades, it's the "fighting against something out of my control" that will be tough, and potentially slow my progress.
I would really LOVE to have some friends to share motivation with so feel free to add me0 -
Okay, truth be told I've been off and on 'the wagon' for the past few years. I am 44, mom to 4 kids ranging from 20 to 7 yrs. old. I am 5'4 and currently 139 lbs. I would ideally like to get back so somewhere in the mid 120's region. I would love to add friends to motivate and give motivation to as well as be accountable to.0

Hiya you can add me if you want - I'm fairly new to mfp so not even sure how to do that! I'm 5ft 4 (and a half!)", weighed at 152 lbs yesterday. I'm just getting back into running again following a knee injury. I've just started using a c25k app.0
