Let's try this "friend" thing again...

Options
Hi, my name is Ellie. I'm looking for some like minded, like goaled friends!

I'm looking for females only, apparently here on MFP most of the guys I've met just want to flirt, I don't want that at all.

I've tried to lose weight before, back in 2015, using MFP. I did pretty well and dropped 40 pounds. I got within 30 pounds of my goal and then lost it. I've now gained back all but 15 of those pounds and really want to be done.

I'm not following a special diet, just counting calories, and I haven't added in too much working out yet.

I am a very supportive and active friend, and I'd really like to meet some people who I can forge a true friendship with.

Add me if you'd like! I'd love to join you for your life change!

    Hi Dani...

    Dani here also.

    I have lost the weight before and unfortunately slowly gained it ALL back. After several rounds of losing and gaining the same 15lbs over and over again. I finally said enough is enough, I must end this cycle.

    Im 50+ days in and 11 lbs down. I have 39 lbs to go. I do low(ish) carbs, because I find that some of white carbs bother my stomach and cause me to crave sugar.

    I am very active and post daily.

    Hi! I'm sort of in the same position as you. I lost 15 lbs before and gained all of that back. I want to lose 50 lbs as my end goal. Sending you an ad request! Let's do this!

    Hey everyone,
    I am looking for like minded friends also. I restarted my journey again this week and can use all the encouragement I can get. I lost almost 30lbs a few years ago, but unfortunately have gained it all back and then some.
    I've also started the Couch to 5k app again. I had success with it before, so I am hoping I can do it again.

    Id love to get to know some new people with similar goals so add me if you like :)

    I added you!
    And I totally feel you. I was kind of bombarded with messages from guys when I posted that I was looking for friends. I'd love some female friends to help motivate :)

    It's why we're still friends! I think I weeded out the people were looking for more than I was giving.
