    Hi Brenda! I'm 41 and need to lose 80 lbs to get to my goal. I am starting over and it is so hard! I tend to get depressed and lose my motivation, so I thought having friends would help.

    Hi Brenda, I've no idea how many pounds... But it's over 5 stone I need to lose.... Lost 3 a year ago... Then put it all back on again. :-(
    Started this diet 4 days ago.... I will stick to it and get to my goal...
    Supporting one another is the way to go. :-)

    Hello my name is Brenda and I've struggled with my weight half my life. I was slim (under 200 pounds) up until I had kids and the youngest is 23 and the oldest is 31! I have 100 pounds to lose and I am looking for "serious only" friends who would love to join me on my/our weight loss and health journey. It's time to take back our health together! We can do this! We can motivate each other on our journey together. So please join me as we take this one day at a time to reach our goal! We got this!!! It's already a done deal!

    Hey Brenda,
    Would really like working with you. Keeping each other on track is much easier than doing it by yourself.

    Hi Brenda703,

    My name is Karlynn and I just turned 24 last month. I have been overweight on and off since late 2012. I keep putting more and more weight on. Now that I am done my 5th year of post secondary studies (still have another 3ish years to go) I am on my summer and am able to work more to make money especially for buying better quality food. I constantly eat out with my S/O and we have completely gone cold turkey for the last four days. Both of us have gained extreme amounts of weight from eating out. When I started college in 2011, I was 135 pounds maybe... give or take.. and just a few days ago, I weighed in at 231 pounds. I'm only 5 foot 3 ish and my weight just feels uncomfortable and I need the change.

    Of the last 4 days, going on 5 days, I have gone down to 228.6 pounds by just changing my eating alone. I have started drinking water and also went cold turkey on any pop. I am starting to feel better slowly and will be incorporating in exercise within the next few days. My S/O has just started using MFP and he loves it! We are planing on having kids down the road and I told him, I can't be this overweight and start trying now, because I will feel miserable the whole time. So we are making a change for the better now :smile: I am hoping to loose at least 100 pounds, maybe more, depending on what my body feels like I guess.

    Karlynn

    Though I don't have as much to lose (about 30 lb to drop)... I am always happy to encourage. I'm on daily, my diary is open, and I'm all in... always looking for folks who want to make things happen (rather than wishing for them) to put put on my friends list.

    I have no idea how to add people, so please add me if you know how to do it. I have to lose 80 or more, but the real kicker is: how much can I loose by Oct? It'll be my boy's 13th birthday and I am taking him to Disneyland to celebrate. I WILL ride on rides there. A couple of years ago I took him to the Santa Cruz Broadwalk, and I couldn't fit on the rides. I've been dieting, yo-yo style, but was able to stick to it more after January. Since then, I've gone down about 30 lbs. Just bought a trampoline (I read all the health benefits to them) and I have been jumping everyday. It's so much fun! My son and I have a blast. Anyways, I really need support and encouragement. Thanks!

    Hi Brenda! I want to lose 100 pounds also! I am just starting, I have lost weight in the past, but I haven't learned to keep it off. I am ready to lose weight and to maintain my weight after I lose it. I need help also because this process is hard.

    Hey Brenda!
    Thanks for making this thread. I'd love to work along with you on your journey and provide support and motivation! I could definitely use it too as I have over 150 lbs to lose. Due to some health issues and wanting to start a family, I am serious about weight loss. I am down 15 lbs in 5-ish weeks. Open to all friend adds! Let's do this!!

    Hi I'm Nisha and 24. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for being year now. So I decided to visit the doctor and found out that I have pcos. I was devastated to know that but I can't just sit on my *kitten* and do nothing about it. So I'm changing my mind and my life in the past 11months I've lost about 80 pounds and I feel great but I'm still going
