Accountability - Lose 50+ pounds

Posts: 5 Member
edited November 2024 in Getting Started
I'm on a journey to lose 70 pounds and am looking for accountability in friends. I live alone and don't have a very big social life so I was hoping to find/meet others that need support and encouragement in the MFP community.
If you're on a journey to lose 50+ pounds and need some I inspiration, accountability or ideas - add me or comment!

    Feel free to add me. I just started (again) a couple weeks ago. I'm 33, looking to lose 53 more pounds to get to onederland, my first major goal. I'm already down 9 lbs. I guess in reality I could stand losing 90 lbs as a long term goal. Baby steps breaking down to each 10 lbs. Good luck everybody!!

    52 years old with about 100 lbs to lose, have sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension.
    Really wanting to get off meds and be healthy.
    Was looking into bariatric surgery, but I really don't want my diet afterwards to be SOOOOO restricted (no fizzy drinks, fibrous meats...), so I'm doing the Paleo diet (as my doc recommended).
    So I'd love to be a part of this!

    Sounds like an awesome idea count me in. I'm 46 with a goal of losing at least 70lbs.

    I'm 40 and want to get from 195lb to 125lb. Lost 6lb last week but have lost that same 6lb in March, June and September last year. Hopefully with a little help from some friends this will be the last time I lose it. First mini-goal is to get to 176lb as quickly as possible.

    I am on a journey to lose 50+ lbs. I could use motivating friends as well. I have 4 kids, youngest being 4.5 months. I have a busy life with them but not socially. It is hard for me to find time for me. Feel free to add me and we can help each other along this journey.

    Added. I'm looking to lose about 70-75 lbs at first, and then go from there. Feels like a long way to go, but I'm chipping away with the support of my MFP buddies. Anyone looking for more friends, feel free to add me!
