Friend me! Let's be aware of what the others are doing so we can support and encourage them, get support and encouragement ourselves, and know that people are aware of how we're doing. None of my off-life friends are in here. I'd love to make new friends!

Yay! Just came here tonight looking for the same thing. Not much support around me so looking for someone to help motivate and support me!!9

Great! So, I gained some weight this year, about 50 pounds, and truth be told I could've lost about 10 or 20 lb before that. My overall goal is to lose about 60 lb. and go from 185 (where I am right now) to somewhere between 125-135. I will be eating about 1200 calories a day and workout 5-6 times a week. Workouts will be at least 1 hour, though if I have time, 2 or more hours. I'll post about making my goals (or if I don't, but I will! Positive thinking!) and check up on my new friends and offer encouragement and that motivation you get when you know someone is watching!8

Hello!
I would love to lose weight with you girls. My support system is half way around the world and I know it hard keeping your self accountable. It would be awesome to be able to share some recipes, goals ideas, and even motivational thoughts. It's tough doing it on your own.
It sounds like you have a great goal in mind! Don't get discouraged. Make sure to write it down somewhere. You can do it. One step at a time.8 -
Me too please! My name is Beth, I am from nz and I lost 15kg a year ago in time for some overseas travel, but then got lazy and put it all back on and then some. My man was initially a buddy and helped me but he's skinny fat and he's happy with my curves so he isn't keen on changing his habits too and so I need a buddy or two to keep accountable with

Me!! I need some encouragement as well! I've been trying to lose the same 40-50 lbs since my daughter was born 3 years ago. I always start well and get to a good spot and then give up. I feel like this time around I am doing it for me...not to be ready for a wedding or to go on vacation, but now I'm finally ready to do it for myself.4
-
Add me too! I've been trying to lose 25-30 pounds that I gained after a knee injury! 4

I would love some support, I'm a mom of two and my husband travels a lot. I would like to lose 10 lbs and actually keep it off! I do great all day and then night time hits and I eat and eat.3

Mom of two kids here. I lost about 11 lbs so far, and have 10 more to go. Switched here from Loseit because it was so laggy and slow. So far loving Myfitnesspal so much better. Last 10 lbs is hard, mutual motivation and accountability could definitely help. Add me!2
-
I just added you all! I'm from Ottawa Canada and have 30lbs to lose. I've used this app before with great success but have fallen off the wagon and gained all the weight back. A Support is definitely needed and is great to share acomplishments with each other for support and motivation!5

Add me! I gained weight since starting college and I am trying to get back in shape, I usually am good during the day but struggle with not eating a lot at night.2
-
Eating at night is the worst for me! For everyone who has a problem with that - Let's all tell each other tomorrow if we made it through the night! It's better if we know we have to tell someone and we don't keep it out own dirty little secret!3

Ihave gone up and down my whole life, ranging from size 2/4 (in my early 20's...those were the days...) to 14/16, whereas am now. I always seem to get down to the last 10 lbs and start to think I am somehow magically cured. I am taking it off and keeping it off this time!2
-
hey, ladies — i would love to join you, as well! i lost about 30 pounds about 2 years ago and have now gained most of it back by slacking off all my consistent good behavior. after several tries, i decided today to really get serious and i know some accountability will help! weighing in tomorrow morning, but know i definitely need to lose 15-20 lbs to get back to my happy place. my biggest challenge: wine!

Congratulations and a happy dance to you for deciding to get serious and for finding us!1

Add me too please. I've been a member here for so long with few friends because I tend to disappear. I have to do this now. I'm borderline diabetic and my cholesterol is on the high side. It's time.3
-
Girl, let's go! Health is so important. Let's take ourselves seriously and show OURSELVES that we have some self respect. We CAN do this...together!2
-
My biggest challenge: ice cream! And French fries...and boredom...3
-
Add me too! I've never been too serious about weight loss, but I definitely want to drop a few pounds and look/feel better by next summer. I struggle a lot with meeting my calorie goals and have always given up in the past, but this time I want to stick with it. 2

Hey folks, Jreeves36 needs some more buddies. Add her, get more support for yourself and give her support in kind. Yay, kindness!1

Hey, my name is Lee. I travel a lot for work and have a difficult time maintaining any kind of fitness or diet routine, much less a support group. I'd really appreciate any help I can get from other members, and am happy to lend my support as well.4
-
I have done My Fitness Pal in the past. Just recently left Weight Watchers because the new Smart Points plan was not working out for me. I definitely need the accountability. Just found this group.3
-
Can you please add me to the group?

Please add me. Halfway to my goal but major plateu. Serious back injury making it very difficult to lose (almost strictly through diet and physical therapy). Could totally use friends/accountability!2
-
Anyone can add me3
-
Lee, it's sooo hard to form new habits when you don't have a regular routine. Tell us your daily goals and we'll keep an eye on you. I hope we can be of help!1
-
Please add me to the group2

Hey all! I have added you all as friends. As a single mom at age 40, I will take all the motivation and support I can get. My goal is to shed 50 pounds. I don't say lose cuz I don't want to find it again.6
-
I would love to be added. 32 year old mom of 2 here. I'm looking to lose between 45-55lbs. Hashimotos disease ruined my metabolism but my thyroid is back in check and it's seriously time for a change

Any of you can add me. I've been struggling with the same 30lbs for the last few years. I tend to make progress and get comfortable and the weight creeps on again. I'm also a teacher so the school year is tough! I've vowed to make this school year better and hit the ground running as soon as school let out in June. I would love to help support any and all4

How are everyone doing with their goals today? I ate 1300 cal but I think give or take 100 cal is ok. I am definitely going to aim for my 1200 cal tomorrow. Burned 590 cal on elliptical! 7 cups of water so far. I'll get to 10 before the night is out.1
