Hello MFP!
I just recently cleared up my friends list. I had about 50 inactive friends.
I've done some yoyoing with weight and consistency, but I do get back on track quickly. Hoping for no more YOYOs! I'm 5'7 and need to lose about 200 pounds, maybe more once i get there. I have no memory of being thin or healthy so i'm not sure of where i'll need to be.
Please add me no matter what your goals are. We can support each other! I come to MFP to log my meals/stay on track, but also to motivate and be motivation for others.
Have a great day/week/month/successful goal!

Good Morning, I am back using MFP and 16 days and 15 pounds lost, but I have a long way to go, now that I have turned 40 it seems harder and harder to stay motivated. Could use all the help I can get and friends, and likewise A_poetiq I have a lot of inactive friends that need to go.

You can do this! Congrats on your loss! That's wonderful! i'm losing much slower, but i'm okay with that. I want it to be sustainable so I don't mind slow as long as i stay consistent and it stays gone!0 -
Feel free to add me to your friends list! Sounds like we are in the same boat, lots of inactive friends. I have a long way to go (approx 100lbs) and we all could use all the support we can get 2

I know the YO-YO ride. I've gone from 200 to 350 and every where in between. I've learned it has to be a long term goal, not a quick fix.0

I've come to that realization as well. 2 -

Hi there beauty,
first of all, respect for what you are about to do. I am myself a woman who has much body to love. I was alwayw chubby, we tried to get a gastric banding but surgery sucked and we had to operate 9 times and now my stomach is ruined. After the death of my father and my baby girl i lost myself in drinking and bilging. So here I am and looking for friends who are willing to help me not losing my goal, which is around 90Pounds!3 -
I requested both of you lovely ladies. We can do this together.
Masashisama, PM me! I'm so sorry for all you've experienced!1 -
Been up and down- As a fitness professional- I need to take control again and be what I help others to be!
I lost 150 in the past but but a lot back on! I completely understand how hard it is and also not to have much support from the people around me! I'm glad I joined this! I hope I can help, inspire and motivate as well as have you guys help motivate and inspire me as well! 1 -
Welcome to those of you that are brand new and to those of you back for the Win!
I've lost 100lbs.+ so far, have a fair bit more to lose but I am very proud & excited of what I have done so far!! In the past (yes here on MFP) the only thing I saw was how far I had to go. Something changed with in and now I can look at how far I've come and get excited about every lb. I lose & inch that disappears.
I set mini goals, 20lbs, 10lbs etc., even 5lbs. if I need too, which have really helped me push forward. I set a goal to get to 299lbs and so excited when I was within lbs. of reaching that..a mini goal helps me SEE it HAPPEN!
A cool little trick I learned from others on the board.
There's a group on MFP for those looking to lose 100+ that I've found to be helpful, friendly, and very inspirational.
Here's the link if anyone would like to check it out:

Hey! I'm also trying to loose around 200 lbs. Its been a bit of a struggle with maintaining portion sizes and staying under a certain calorie intake... it would be awesome to talk and become friends with people with similar struggles or at least with similar goals.

Hey I unfriendly you by mistake. Could you please refrained me, I'm new to the site and touch the wrong key. Thanks.1

Yesterday I weighed myself, and I'm at my heaviest. My realization is that I look for immediate results, and I quit once I don't see anything. One day at a time will be my mantra. I know my goal, but I have to do what I have to do for today. Exercise and make the right decisions about what I eat. Yes, I may mess up one day, but that doesn't mean I have to give up. Just do better! I'll add you, please feel free to add me! Let's do this, one day at a time.1

I am also needing to lose 200 lbs and definitely looking to make some friends, here! I'll be excited to see your progress and to encourage one another 1

Hey all! Ashley here Looking to lose at least 230lbs total. I am down 120lbs so far in less than 9 months! Its insane to think I still have that much to go! Please feel free to add me for mutual motivation!!! 1

Hi, I used this app before and ended up quitting. I yo yo as well because it isn't enough to just try to lose weight, you have to completely change your lifestyle. I have been eating relatively healthy for about a month now and for the last week I have been full on health mode! I also have about 200 to lose and would love some friends to motivate me as well. So please add me everyone who is serious!0
