in Motivation and Support
Hello everyone!

After trying, and trying, and trying again to lose weight, I've been slightly more successful this time around. Since new years I've gone down about 8 pounds. However, I've gone up a few pounds this week. Part of the reason for this is I never feel motivated to track my food or exercise. None of my family is very supportive so I'm kind of on my own for this one. I'd like to find another person (or few people) that have alot of weight to lose and we can help motivate each other. We could monitor each others' food and exercise log and make sure we're on the right track.

If this is something you'd like to be apart of, just comment below with something about yourself! I'll start:

My name is Elizabeth Des Jardin. I am getting married soon to my wonderful fiance, Eleanor. I weigh 200 pounds (give or take) and my goal is to be 115 roughly. I play MtG, Hearthstone, and Dragon Age (1-3). I love to read; I am currently reading Game of Thrones. I collect Squishables (Here's the website). I plan on attended culinary school withing the next few years since cooking and baking is my passion!

    Hello! I would LOVE to lose 80lbs! That is exactly my goal. My name is Erica, Im from Colorado. I've been on and off the MFP wagon, but Im ready to recommit. I recently started doing plexus and have noticed a huge drop in my appetite/cravings, so tomorrow (gotta get through V-Day!) Im going to begin clean eating. Current weight around 262, goal of 180.

    Little about me, Im 33, single mom to 3 little girls. Im a nurse, so I know a lot about nutrition but struggle with over-eating. I would describe myself as a hippie, I love alternative health. Also pretty geeky. Love me some game of thrones but I need to get caught up on the last season. Taking a florida vacation in April, thats my huge motivator right now!

    I'm looking to lose around 100 pounds too. I recently started taking Plexus too! I do Tri-Plex and it's working pretty well for me so far. I'm determined to stick to everything this time because the last visit to my doctor was pretty disheartening. All of my levels and numbers came back fine but she told me someone my size is pretty much guaranteed to have a cardiac event in their lifetime... that's a wake up call. That's when I started Plexus and when I went back to monitoring my food, eating healthier and trying to get on a better lifestyle path.

    I'm taking a trip in July-August and it has been my motivator too! I don't know how much I can lose by then but here's to hoping!

    I have a huge over eating problem too! It's my main struggle.

    Hello All!!!

    This is exactly what I was looking for. I currently need to lose 125 pounds.

    My name is Sky. I've also been on and off this wagon for years, but I'm ready to make those life changes, but would like some help!! A little more about me: I'm a HS Geometry teacher, and also a Graduate Student. I live alone, so staying accountable is hard. I'm really looking for someone/some people to become good friends with and help stay on track, and get to that better life.

    If anyone would like to friend me, feel free!

    Hello! My name is Ang, and my goal it to lose about 100 more pounds (currently down 44 so far since I started; 33 according to mfp since I didn't hear about this app until after I started my journey).

    A little about me:
    I am 34 years old. I am married and have one daughter.
    I love to travel, although my budget prevents me from traveling as much as I'd like to. :)
    I am an avid reader.
    I try to be as "green" as possible.

    Hi my name is Kristen and I have been on this journey on and off, but I have committed to not give up. I have lost 9lbs since January so that isn't bad but as all of you, I want it to fall of immediately because I am working out everyday and logging my food religiously! I have 70 lbs. Still to go and I really need the motivation to get there. I just bought a scale for my food to see if that helps. Would love to be added:) Good luck!

    Hi, I'm Karen and I'm from Michigan. Looks like there are several of us who would like to lose 50 pounds or more. In my case it's because I'm diabetic and don't want to go on medication. Been successful so far and dr says that if my next A1c check comes back good I'll only have to go in every 6 months.

    Hi everyone! Looking around the threads, I think this may be the best place for me, although I don't know if I want to lose as much as 80lbs... Right now I'm thinking in terms of feeling better, getting back some strength and endurance, and making sure I can fit in my shorts come summer!

    My name is Elinor, I'm 31 and currently 242lbs. My first goal is to get down to 220, a weight I have felt good at in the past, but eventually I would love to be under 200, which I haven't been since junior high.

    I am a performer (singing, acting and dancing when I'm given the chance!), but I am currently working as a nanny before I move this summer. I love running around with my niece, reading (mostly fantasy and historical fiction) and seeing films.

    Like someone before, I'm not sure how to add friends, so if you are interested in connecting with me, feel free to reach out! Regardless, best of luck to all!

    Hi! I love Squishables. I have like ten! And I used to play MTG and do FNM but it fell off my radar when I started having kids :) I have 120 to lose or so, I'd love to be friends here, and if you decide to friend me we can chitchat over text too. I'm super active here on MFP with my friends feed.

    (Also anyone is welcome to friend me!)

    Hello! My Name is Amanda. I'm wanting to lose 140lbs to get to my goal weight. I would love to have someone who has the same goal of losing weight. I have very support but not the kind I need. My boyfriend eats all the time and never gains a pound. He tries to help me but he has no ideal what I'm going through and isn't much help. I would love to gain a friend out of this with stuff in common but also share the weight loss factor. I'm a gamer who plays all sorts of things. I also have my own library in my home with around 200 books. I'm wanting to go to school to design video games. I'm also even writing my own book right now. Any way to keep in contact is fine. Just need some help maybe make a competition out of how many steps we take a day. Something to make weight loss a bit more fun.
