edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
If you will support and motivate me to keep coming back and reaching my goal of 70 pounds to lose in 9 months. We can share recipes, motivational tips, exercising goals and try to reach our goals together. I have alot of weight to lose for my health also, swelling of the feet and diabetis, less on sugar and salt. I would just like some support during my weight loss journey. I started two to three weeks ago and have lost roughly 15 pounds. Keeping track and cutting out chips and pop is a big one. I am trying to eat healthier and obtain a goal. So add me as a friend on here if you would like to support and motivate me. I bet on healthywage.com to lose 70 pounds by 5/28/2019, I need to be 228 by then. Wish me luck, if I make goal I will bet again to get down to 160, that is my ultimate goal, getting older and no time to start but the present. I am 47 years old. Thanks, Tanya

    I got off MFP for several months and tried some different things. I am back about 10-15 lbs heavier. I would love for anyone to add me and let's motivate each other! My immediate goal is to lose 5 lbs in October, 5 more in November and 5 in December.

    I am here for support and motivation. I have tried to start this weight loss journey time and time again. It has never happened for me. I want/need to lose around 100 lbs for me to be healthy. I say a picture of myself today from just one year ago. I don't know how much weight I have gained but it is enough to be noticeable. I need to start now, while I can. I need to make a lifestyle change for better my health and my self-confidence... I am hoping to start slowly and go from there!

    Hi everyone! I would love to have some friends for support, as I have virtually none at home. Even a "like" on my calorie count each day lets me know that someone is watching and giving me encouragement. I don't need much, just a little something! I was here a few years ago and left when I became discouraged after injuring myself working out. I absolutely have to lose weight now, due to a health issue I need surgery for, so I have that as motivation, but just knowing someone out there is rooting for me is a big help. I'm also here to give everyone else who needs it a daily pat on the back and a "go get em!"

    Hey, I'd like to add anyone to my circle that is trying to achieve the same goal as myself. A daily commitment to a long-term goal with positive life changing effects! I'm 7 months in and 60+ pounds lighter so far. I'll gladly send a request to those who mentioned they are looking for support!
