    I am brand new to MFP. I'm 41 and would LOVE to lose 60 pounds. I have weighed the same weight for 10 years now and I'm so tired of it! I have no idea how to follow threads, no idea what a forum is, but would love to connect with others on here! So, please add me! I need lots of help and support!

    I'm about to turn 35, and I am a stay at home mom of 3. I'm getting a fresh start on here. I also started a blog on blogspot, hoping that putting my ups and downs and journals out there for the world to see will help keep me motivated. Feel free to add me.

    Hello, I've been yo-yo dieting for years; I've decided to stop telling family and friends that I'm dieting because it's just too much pressure and I don't know if I'm imagining it but a couple of my family members seem to sabotage my efforts to lose weight. I thought sharing with strangers going through the same thing may help keep me accountable as they have no motivation to sabotage my efforts. I am married, 48 with 2 teenagers and have roughly 50 pounds to lose.

    I'm 44 and looking to lose 30lbs. I'm a single momma of 3, but 2 of them just moved out within the past 3 months. I have finally decided to take control of me, my health, and my life. I just joined the app last week, so I have no idea how friends are added, but I would love to be a part of motivation, support, and venting.

    Yup, I'm feeling ya sista'! Been away for awhile and my profile reflects the neglect. I'm all for teaming with others who are serious about dropping back in and engaging. Would love to share ideas and successes but no drama :-)
