Good day MFP'ers!
I've been using MFP for awhile, but haven't been social... til now

I'm looking for similar people with similar struggles for mutual support.

I have 100+ to loose and have been yo-yo'ing with the first 20-25.

I'm 40, married, 2 kids, work full time, taxi kids to their sports... haven't been spending much time on myself... but that just changed!

My motivation, other than my kids, DISNEY!
I've never been and we're planning to bring the kids next year... and a smaller me will make that trip, and keep up with my kids in the parks.

Message me / Friend me... I'm quickly realizing that i could use the community.

Michelle

    Like you, I had joined but not social until just this past week. I thought that I'd reach out for help and motivation. I have at least 80 to lose, so we're real close. Please feel free to friend me. Disney is awesome. Been there once and I was at my heaviest that I had ever been (300 or better). Had a great time but looking back, I would have had a much better time had I not had all the extra weight. I love riding the coasters and I was too big to ride most of them. :grumble: Here's to a new start! :happy:

    I am in the same situation as you. I have 100 + pounds to loose in fact I have almost 200 pounds to loose. I know I can't do it alone and need friends. Exercise is not easy when you are a large person and it doesn't help that you feel depressed and ashamed of how far you let yourself go. I need friends as well so please add me and together we can be a mighty force to taking our lives back.

    P.S. I just joined three days ago so I am really new at this.

    Add me please as a friend. I have almost 200 pounds to loose and doing that alone is not going to be easy. Maybe we can help motivate each other. I am looking for someone to do this with. I feel that I am alone in all this and that makes it difficult. I look forward to getting to know you and being a friend.

    Hey there! Mom of 2 daughters, and I am 40. Loved Disney, we just went for Christmas. Great site here and having friends to motivate, support, and watch over each other helps SO much!! :)

    Good luck and one day at a time.

    The more the merrier! Friend me too! I'm realizing that it does make a difference when you have support. I've never tried to loose weight WITH support, and I'm finding it's making a BIG difference. Like you, I'm in my 40s (43) and have 100 lbs to loose. Disney is a couple of years away for us, but right now I'm working on having a GOOD picture to take for my drivers license in 8 months!
