in Getting Started
Hi, everyone. My name is Jenn. I am 35 years old and am currently at my highest weight ever. 319lbs. I am just starting out, but am looking for a few good female companions to join me on my journey to a healthier-self. If you are interested, please let me know. I don't mind going into more detail about my siituation, just prefer to converse with someone serious about getting healthy. :)

    Hi, I'm 37 and started at 280 and am now at 249. I've gone back and forth with "good intentions" on losing weight and getting healthy. But 3 weeks ago something clicked into place and it all just feels right now. That doesn't mean it feels easy for me, but the mental blocks that were there every other time aren't there anymore. While I'm not new to mfp, I am new to friends here. I'm on daily, or at least according to my streak I have been for the last 787 days, haha. I've added you, accept the request if you'd like. I won't be offended if you don't.

    Hi, kinda the same issue. 37, started at 285 lbs, currently 228 and needing to lose another 80 lbs still. Sometimes I feel stuck and get discouraged, would be nice to have people I similar situations to talk to and trade ideas about what seems to be working!

    Hi guys, I’m Sanu 35 and 62kg’s size 12. Diabetic as well. Trying to manage my sugars and lose some belly fat. It’s been a struggle. I seem to be an ace at maintenance, but not a pound shed so far.. still on the starting block.

    Pretty similar too. 33, 155 lbs (but very short so physically I probably look closer to 170 with my stature). I keep bouncing back and forth with trying to lose weight. Can't find the motivation to get up and move. I would love for this go to be the one that sticks. Wishing you best of luck friend. Feel free to add me.

    Hi! I'm Jen and I'm new to this as well. At my highest ever and looking to lose 123 pounds. Just entering my 3rd week of what I've deemed my 'lifestyle change' versus calling a diet. Looking for others to communicate with to know if what I'm experiencing and/or feeling is normal. What kind of struggles is everyone else having...... Best of luck to you in your journey!!

    Hello jenn! I’m Karli and am 27. I am currently 27 and am looking to lose around 140 pounds all together. Currently 270 and am only 5’0 tall so have a lot to lose. I did MFP before I had kids and lost 60 pounds, married, had two babies and now I’ve gained it all back plus more. Would love to be friends with someone with similar goals!

    Hi! I'm looking to lose 165lbs, I'm not on a specific diet since I find I have a horrible time sticking to those, so I'm just counting calories here and working to stay below what I need. Feel free to message me.

    Hi guys, similar boat here. Today is first day of spring. I've heard this is an even better day than new years to get serious (who knows), but even if you've already started, its great day to refocus and continue on your path!! We got this!
