in Motivation and Support
I don't currently have any MFP friends and am looking to be more involved in the community here. I'm pretty experienced in losing weight. At one point in my life, I had lost 135 lbs. Now, I have gained some back and am looking to lose about 25-30 more lbs to get back to a comfortable weight for me. I try to exercise often (almost every day) and always log my calories. So far, it's working great! I'm down 23 lbs.

My biggest issue is food. I freakin' love food! But, I am definitely seeing how important it is to watch what I eat since gaining back weight! I am a positive person and would like to meet some other people who are serious about getting healthy.

    you can count me in. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I have had lots of health issues and had to have my right knee replaced three times in three years so the only option I have is to be serious about looseing weight

    Feel free to add me.. You will find a group of people on here from all walks of life. Most will encourage you and kick you in the but if needed. More importantly they will take an interest in you the person. That goes a long way when looking for support. Oh and they will always add humor to the day. At least that is true of most of the people on my friends list..

    I'd love to help; I'm pretty shy though, trying to open up to other people going on the same journey. I used to be sort of content with my weight, even though I was overweight, before I started college but they weren't kidding with how easy it is to just settle, when you're in school. Spent the last 2 or 3 years just consistently gaining weight. I could use more positive and health oriented people in my life as I use this summer to adjust the unhealthy habits I've developed. c:

    So at least when the semester starts back up in August, I can't use the "well I'm a college student" excuse. xD

    You can all add me. I too i'm a big foodie. But i make almost everything from scratch and if i want a treat, i have to bake it first (cooking burns calories too)

    Please feel free to add me, I'm looking for some accountabilibuddies and just some other people to share the journey with. I'm pretty fit but love food and although I mostly eat good food, I eat slightly too much of it and remain stagnant or slowly gain weight! I'm ready to put in some serious focus and commitment to get my body back in a comfortable, healthy shape, and it's always better with a support group around you :smile:

    Thanks guys for all these replies! I didn't get any notifications that people replied on here! But I really appreciate everyone reaching out and wanting to support one another! I hope that I friend requested everyone who replied (and some of you requested me). If I missed you, add me! :)
