Looking for VOCAL friends/daily loggers - need to lose 70-85 pounds

I am starting over on my journey. I used MFP to lose almost 40 pounds before and stopped using MFP and gained that back and then some. I am starting over for the last time. My current weight and health is causing me stress and depression.

I am looking for friends who are want to motivate each other on this lifestyle change. I do not plan to stop using Myfitnesspal when I have reached my goal. I plan to incorporate it into my daily life. Like I said this will be a lifestyle change.

- I plan to lose 70-85 pounds during 2016.
- I work full time as a high school teacher - so I spend a great deal of time planning and grading.
- I have 3 daughters (15, 14, and 12) who are VERY active.
- I am 45.

I am looking for people to an relate to the weight loss struggle, who are committing to logging in daily. I will provide support to you and hope to get support back.


Thanks :)

    I'm on here everyday! Getting ready to get married and then keep myself healthy in order to get ready to try to conceive later on in 2016! I'm 33 so I can relate to most things going on in your life. I'm currently pursuing my master's and am in the Navy!

    You are welcome to add me. I am determined to make it work this time. I have battled weight issues the majority of my life and I am tired of letting it dictate what I am.

    Wow. I also need to lose about 65 lbs.
    I am also a high school teacher-Studio Art and AP Art (no I don't have time to make any of my own stuff :/ ) Which means hall duty in lieu of a relaxed lunch, rushed meetings and too many days on my feet.
    I plan to be on here daily.
    I also will be exercising daily.
    I also WILL DO THIS because in April I turn 60.
    I do not want to be like this the rest of my life.

    Hi there! Feel free to add me! I am looking for motivated people to be friends with here on MFP. have lost over 110 lbs, kept the majority off over 14 years. Been a weight watchers follower for over 14 years but love MFP and this is the only tracking I do now. Good luck! One day at a time it's not a race but a journey.

    Feel free to add me. I've been logging daily since July 2015. I've lost about 30 so far, and need to lose about 40-50 more. I've been logging every day the past week, but I've been over my calories every day. I need to get back into making better food choices and exercising regularly. I am 47.
