    Hi! I'm 23, working in an academic library and also in a masters program! I've just started to get serious about losing weight, I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a few months and definitely do not want to stand in front of everyone the way I'm looking right now. I'd love some friends for mutual support in the weight loss journey :)

    Hi everyone!

I moved out from my family at the start of last year which has helped a lot, I love have more control of what I eat. Now I am working on exercising consistenly as I am a master of excuses!

    Hi New here. 34 years old. Have been on sick benefits for a few months now due to an injury. I’ve gained a little winter weight since off. Eating bad food and not getting out enough is a bad combo. Got the app to be more mindful of what I consume.

    I am really impressed with the fact that you can scan the products barcode and the info with automatically populate. Technology

    Hey everyone!

    I'm a 32 year old veteran undergraduate student about to graduate. I'm minoring in dance, because I love it, and for my last semester of school I'm taking a Hip-Hop class that's killer!

    Trying to build up my full body strength to be able to do headstands, handstands, one handed or no handed cartwheels, and eventually B-girl moves. Right now I don't have the strength for it, it's been rough on my joints and progress has been tough, but I am working on it.

    I'm new to the MFP community, but would love some friends to connect with and encourage each other. This week I seem to be fighting a bug so it may take me out of the action for a few days, but hopefully I'll beat it quickly and be back on track soon.

    Stay strong everyone!

    Hey Folks!

    I’m Leila. 25 and this is my second go around with MFP. I’m trying to get serious about my health now that I’ve seen my parents and other older relatives go through some health struggles. I’m hoping by engaging with the community, making some friends, and being active on this app that I’ll strengthen my body and mind when it comes to my fitness goals!

    Also I’m totally down for any new friends :)

    Anyone can add me. I've been gaining weight the past couple of years and am tired of not fitting in my favorite clothes. I'm also cheap and don't wanna buy new ones if I don't have to. Looking for friends for mutual support and accountability. I've used this site in the past and it really helped motivate me. Last time I lost around 65 lbs, looking to surpass that this time.

    Hey y'all. I'm 27 year old "adultish" person :# . I graduated college last summer, still on a journey figuring out what to do next. I used this app once before, when I wasn't really ready, now I am back again and happy to stick to it. I am 30-40 lbs away from my scale goal, but also have an energy and fitness goal to keep me motivated!

    I am looking for any motivating friends to add, but especially anyone working 3rd shift (night shift, graveyard shift etc.) Because us 3rd shifters know working nights adds all new problems with health and weightloss.

    I know how tough it is to lose weight while working long hours. I am a high school science teacher and though my work hours are from 8AM to 3PM, I never go home till 6PM. And at home I'm still working and the stress from that has caused my weight to fluctuate10 to 15 pounds over the past couple of months. In fact, I used to be 125 lbs and that was easy to maintain. However, I started to take too much office sweets and eat lots of goodies to keep my energy up when I was working on 2 to 3 hours of sleep, which is often 3 days a week. This caused the weight to come on gradually. Now, I am about 10 pounds over what I used to be 8 months ago. So I'm getting proactive about keeping it off and staying healthy by coming here and surrounding myself with like-minded folk.

    Best wishes to you and keep it going!

    I'm 22. I've lost 70 pounds so far, and I'm losing the next 100. I'm not exactly the best at motivating others, but seeing other people stay consistent on this app helps me quite a bit.

    22 years old, with a background in running (track & cross country running) About two years ago I started slacking off completely on exercise and began to gain body fat and my health declined. So I began weightlifting and strength training January 2017 and I’ve loved it ever since. Looking to gain an additional 15 to 20 pounds in lean muscle, so I’m clean bulking atm. Would love new friends :)

    Hey y'all!

    I'm Allison, I'm 25yrs old and I'm trying to get my body back. I used MFP years ago when I worked at a MMA gym and trained almost daily. Life got rough, couldn't work out as much, but joined the gym before a summer trip a year or so ago. It was the first time I'd weighed myself in a good minute and sort of a shocker that I'd gained so much weight (mostly stress weight). I didn't allow it to really get to me until I found that I couldn't fit in much of my clothing anymore... then it kinda hit home. Anyway, I just recently got back into heavy lifting a few weeks ago and am hoping to keep a positive outlook throughout this.
