I am starting over on my journey. I used MFP to lose almost 40 pounds before and stopped using MFP and gained that back and then some. I am starting over for the last time. My current weight and health is causing me stress and depression.

I am looking for friends who are want to motivate each other on this lifestyle change. I do not plan to stop using Myfitnesspal when I have reached my goal. I plan to incorporate it into my daily life. Like I said this will be a lifestyle change.

- I plan to lose 60-80 pounds.
- I work full time as a high school teacher - so I spend a great deal of time planning and grading.
- I have 3 daughters (17, 16, and 13) who are VERY active.

I am looking for people to an relate to the weight loss struggle, who are committing to logging in daily. I will provide support to you and hope to get support back.


Thanks :)

    I lost 80 lbs two years ago and then gained 30 back last year. I would like to lose 65 lbs total as I never reached my goal weight. Add me too.

    I am also a teacher so I can relate to the just schedule
    No time like summer break to lock this off!!! I need to lose 80 lbs. I usually do very well in the beginning and will take off about 40 lbs. Then I go right back to old habits. Not this time! I'll help you if you help me!

    Please add me. Middle school teacher here! Like you, I realize that this will have to be part of my daily habits for life. When I'm looking at the data it's easy to see why I'm maintaining a weight about 90 over my ideal! When I'm successful getting back down, and I stop tracking, it's too easy for me to lose track of what I'm doing...which is usually eating for two!

    Count me in! I am a 4th grade teacher and just had my 3rd boy in October. I gained 70 with him and have lost 30 lbs of it, but my goal is to get off 50-60. I am having a hard time maintaining my healthy eating habits and exercise schedule.

    Anyone can definitely add me! I have been on MFP for 98 days, and have lost 51 lbs. I have 76 remaining, and I have a feeling these ones are going to be a lot harder to remove than the first 51... I wish all of you luck, and success! WE CAN (AND WILL) DO THIS!

    I started on MFP years ago and lost 20lbs but never reached my goal weight, which is about 60 lbs away. Add me as well, and we can cheer each other on :)

    I'm looking to lose 103 lbs. Feel free to add me. I lost 60 lbs 5 years ago but unfortunately it found me and brought friends. But I'm here again with determination but with no friends could use some for motivation on here or Pacer or both.

    You can add me! I have lost 24 pounds of my 100 pound need. The only time I didn't log in was when I went on vacation because wifi wasn't available. I am also a teacher so we can motivate each other to ignore the lounge treats when school starts back up!

    I'm down almost 70 with 70 more to go. If you want to add me please do! I'm doing the long and slow lifestyle change without doing a diet but am adding exercise and healthy food choices, my kids hate it but it's getting better for all of us!
