Hello everyone!

I'm new to this and I need some friends. Im 23, stay at home mom. I was 120lb all throw my teen years, got married had a beautiful Baby and gained weight like crazy. I'm 155lbs now and I'm ready for a life style, healthy change. Please join me and we can talk! Share or success and failures taking one day at a time. I don't want to be all talk and all I wish I was, anymore! My first goul is to lose 10lbs by the end of January. What do you say? :)

    Hey Rebecca! I'm in the very same boat, I was 125lbs all through high school- then college hit, a break up of 5years hit, and lots of stress took an insane toll. I'm currently 157lbs and feel awful. I want to lose 30lbs asap! I say lets do it.

    Hi Rebecca! I am with you. My healthy weight is 140, so I need to lose 30 pounds too. I lost the same 30 pounds using MFP a couple of years ago, and then hurt my back. I got depressed, stopped moving, started eating too much of the wrong things, and became a smoker again. I woke up yesterday morning feeling horrible and decided I can't do it anymore. Looking forward to the awesome support of those working towards the same goals!

    Feel free to add me! I always welcome new friends and health buddies!
    I started on MFP a little over a year ago and lost 40 lbs. I maintained that weight loss through the summer and now I am determined to lose the last 30 lbs to return to the weight I was before my thyroid problems started.

    I was 130 before my pregnancy. Between my son and my love of food, I gained a lot of weight. :) I am trying to lose 50 I am at 180. Feel free to add me! I suck at this weight loss thing. I get discouraged and fall back into my old ways of eating. Not this time!

    Hi Rebecca. Very similar (except for age!). Was naturally 115-120 'til my mid-30's. Went up to 138 lbs during pregnancy and back down to 125 three weeks later and eventually to 120 lbs. Started gaining when I hit 40, tried off and on to lose (nearly starving myself down to 117 lbs in 2012), and in August of this year, at the age of 45, I hit my highest ever at 154 lbs. I started MFP (again) on August 30, with a plan to make sustainable lifestyle changes that would lead me back to a realistic weight of 125 lbs (120 would be pushing it). So far I've averaged a loss of just under 1 lb per week (17 lbs lost so far), by eating healthy, feeling satisfied, walking, doing Pilates 2x a week and trying to get a good night's sleep. I hope to achieve my goal weight in March or April. Logging everything on MFP, getting support from pals here, and establishing a trend weight have been really, really motivational. Will send you a friend request. PS you can do this!!!!!

    Hey everyone! I'm 23 years old :) Seems like I was the heaviest so far. I started my journey May 25, 2014 and I was 240.3 pounds :( The heaviest I've ever been! I've always been severely overweight/obese growing up and I was tired of it. So I decided to make a change. I lost 75 pounds since then. Today I'm 165.3 pounds and I have 35.3 pounds left until I'm 130 pounds (My goal weight)! I can't remember a time I've been this light and it feels amazing. I would love to be any of your friends! Feel free to add me if you do :) It would be great to have support and be able to give it back.

    Hi my name is Isabel. I have always been chubby. Now I am fat. I weigh 172. Monday 12-14-2015 I started MFP yet again. I have lost 10 pounds (pretty sure it's water weight). I NEED SUPPORT because I usually crash into the 3rd week. I am trying hard to keep from falling. It seems difficult with my hubbys grocery buys. He loves junk good.
