Hey everyone! I'm Ema, and although I'm not new here I am just starting to use this site more frequently. I have already lost 33 lbs and want to lose another 30-50 lbs. I've got a long way to go! I'm looking for friends who are active and can offer words of encouragement! Ofcourse, I will do the same

Hi Ema, my name is Jennifer and I just joined the site. I'm also looking for friends who can offer encouragement. Congratulations on losing 33 pounds! How did you go about it? I want to lose 60 pounds. I've lost 85 so far by eating less but now I want to eat healthier and exercise to get healthier overall. Good luck with your goal!0

I am new to this site and would really like to have a couple of women to be my encouragement and I will do the same. I have been dog sitting my sons dogs and I am alone for 3 weeks so I don't have soda or junk food in the house and I am doing good with the low carb and detoxing from sugar aspect. I was drinking 1-2 cokes a day and eating cookies and chips in bed everynight. No exercise at all. I am now doing light exercise and my diet has totally changed. it's easier when you are living alone and the bad stuff is not in the house, right?

Hi Ema! I'm in a similar boat as you - I lost weight, put some back on (still have a ~25lb loss under my belt) and I'm now trying to lose again with a goal of 40-50lbs.
Wish you all the luck in the world with your achievements! Do feel free to add me - would love more friends on here to keep myself motivated and inspired.

I just re-joined, this is my first time adding friends and I find it a lot easier and more motivating to do with encouragement of others versus before when I did it alone. I want to lose about 45 pounds, feel free to add me and anyone else that wants encouragement and motivation0

Hey Ema , I am new to this app so not even sure how to add anyone but would love a friend or friends to help motivate each other0

I would like to be added as a friend. I am working to lose 50 pounds, as well as build my physical fitness. When I have used MFP before, I was successful. I love to encourage and to be encouraged. Having friend connections will help me keep myself accountable for logging in every day.0
