Hi everyone! I am a 23 year old female from Toronto, Canada !!! I have lived my whole life being overweight and a change needs to be done. I have started on many diets before and I always seem to fail. A friend recommended I used this app and today is my first time using it and I absolutely love it ! I made this group in hopes of finding other people who are in a similar position as me and wants to lose 100 plus pounds. My goal is to lose 130 pounds! i feel like if I don't make this change I am just going to continue putting on the weight year after year. I want to someday have kids and build a family while being healthy/ fit/ and active !

Hope to be meeting anyone out there who is ready to shed half of their weight off with me :) Best of luck to everyone xo

    I would love to support within this group! I am also 23 and have 115 to lose! I started (or restarted if we are being honest) last week and I love this app so much. And it syncs with some of the other fitness apps I'm using too.

    Hi. Im 21. At the heaviest during high school I was around 305. I started using the MFP again late September starting at 275ish. I am currently 259 and want to get to 150 or at least 180. Add me as a friend. I need a good support group. Most of my friends are extremely thin and they are trying to be supportive. They worry to much though and don't really understand calorie deficit I need people who are encouraging andk now what it is like.

    Congrats on starting your weightloss journeys. One thing i wish i had done was lose the weight when i was younger. Just remember to take this one small step at a time, small changes lead up to more and more. Make this something that you can keep doing. Don't try to lose weight fast, slow is much more sustainable. It is not a diet, it's a lifestyle :)

    Hello,
    I'm 34 and feel like I'm in quick sand. I need to loose around 65lbs. I've tried every get thin quick scheme there is.. Nothing works long term. I'm 3 weeks into being a vegetarian and am absolutely loving it. With that being said I now weigh the most I've ever weighed 178:( I'm 5'2 and according to my doctor I need to lose weight. I'm also a parent of 5 athletic young men and need more energy to keep up with them. I'm looking for someone to hold me accountable, and motivate me.

    Thanks for the tip @ShashayLee !!!

    I could not agree with you more! All of my friends are skinny minnies and don't quite understand or have the same mind set as we do. It's different being the person in the situation versus the person outside the box! @Celticthunderfan

    @danipickard1723 ; thanks for the add !! Hopefully we can make this group bigger ! More support = more results :)

    * Please let me know if you guys have any other apps that you recommend ! *

    Hi everyone! I just turned 24 and just had my babygirl 8 weeks ago AND go back to work tomorrow! I'm a nurse and a mom now so I NEED to lose this weight! I currently fluctuate around 300 right now. I went from 330's to 263 and was walking often before I got pregnant then it all went out the window and I we t right back to the 330's by the end of my pregnancy. Anyways..I have somewhat small goals set. I want to be 250 by this summer so I can fit the amusement park rides! Lol then ultimately want to be around 190 by the time my daughter is 2!

    @tkc92 thank you soo much! Sounds good! Can't wait to see how our first week goes! My hardest thing right now is being up every 3 hours with my daughter and having to go back to work now (I'm single mom and dad isn't around) so I'm awake alot and always on the go so I'm HUNGRY! Lol and it's hard taking time to eat healthy in a way. Like tonight I had to prep my meals for tmr just to stay ahead and have no excuses tmr! Whew

    @Johnson032011 - I'm literally in the same boat. I was 260, got down to 202 a few years ago with MFP and now i'm back at 260. Now it's time to lost 105 pounds and not stop half way through again this time :smile:

    Hello... Hopefully starting this journey for the last time. I have around 125 pounds I would love to lose. I'm going to try and log every day, even though I've never logged more than a few days. Planning on weighing every Monday or Tuesday. Not entirely sure how everything on the app works yet ,but having others support would be great. Good luck everyone!

    Hi All! I am 30 and have about 110 lbs to lose, my first goal is to lose 50 by June 2016. I weigh in on Mondays and I am looking for support to keep going as I usually fall off the wagon pretty quickly! Looking forward to being a part of this group!

    I have a lot to lose. I try not to focus on the number because it is a bit depressing that I allowed myself to get to the size that I was, and am. Just to know that I am doing something for myself makes me feel good every day, I get up and exercise, even though I hate it. When I first started losing weight, I did not know how to take a compliment. Now I say thank you and I am proud of myself. Life is a process and this is part of my process. It is not always sweet but I know that i am on the right road.

    I haven't decided on a goal weight just yet, but know I need to lose about 115!
    I'm down 8 already in 3 weeks.
    If you want to add me to motivate one another, I'm game!
