in Motivation and Support
I have been on and off myfitness pal for years and love it, but I really do not have any friends on here anymore. I would love to help motivate and also would like the support of fellow peers looking to accomplish weight loss as well :) Ultimately I would LOVE to lose 45 pounds. I am getting married in June and want to look and feel stunning :)

    I'll send you a request! I have about 75 to lose and I'm determined to make it stick or rather fall off this time

    I'm game! My initial goal was 10 lbs during Christmas break; I met it with 4 days to spare! Next goal is 10 more by Valentine's Day.

    I have about 70 more to lose. I am diabetic, type 2 - and was put on insulin about a month ago. I want (and need of course) to get down to a healthy weight.
    Right now - I am trying to eat only 45 grams of carbs for each meal. And 2 snacks during the day - with no more than 15 grams of carbs.
    So far - since I was put on insulin I have lost about 5 pounds. I am in need of all the motivational support I can get!!

    I'm targeting 1 pound per week, and using 1200 calories per day. Feel free to add me to your Friends. I have been on this website for a while, but I think some accountability buddies would be helpful.

    Feel free to add. Congrats on the upcoming wedding. We have about the same amount to lose, I would love to lose 35 by September.

    I would even be happy with -35! 45 would be my absolute dream goal and that would put me at 150

    I will add you! I'm looking to loose about 25 lbs by May, not really sure if that's do-able but it's a goal!

    I'm new to MFP and could really use some friends and support as well. I've always struggled with my weight but after having kids I just keep putting on the lbs. and now I'm at my heaviest. I'm so depressed and feel helpless. I need to loose 75+ pounds to feel like my old self again. It would be great to have someone else keep me motivated. Good luck with your journey and congrats on the up coming wedding.

    I am on a mission to lose 222 lbs. I am down 51 with another 171 to go. This has been a lifelong struggle for me physically and emotionally. I am now 41 yrs old and my body is finally said enough! Your killing me!. So I finally had to listen and am now looking for others with a lot of weight to lose who want and need support. My family is very supportive but I would like to reach out to others who might be in the same boat as I am or where at one point.

    Good job! Losing weight has been the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my life. Going from 130-195 with my first child, then from 170-230 with the second and 180-250 with the third. I dont want to look like a supermodel I just want to be comfortable in my own skin. The weight gain had me very depressed.
