Hi there! How are you? I hope you're having a great day!

I joined MFP previously but didn't stick with it. So now I'm recommitting myself to getting healthier. I would love to lose 100lbs but my immediate concerns are more about health than what number is on the scale. I was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year... cancer sucks! But I'm doing alright. :) So here I am, looking for friends for a journey towards health.

About me - I'm a generally happy and optimistic person. I genuinely care about people and want to see them succeed. I'm married, 44. I have two little dogs that I adore. Dogs are the best! I'm a Christian, though you don't have to be a Christian to be my friend. I also have friends that are Atheist, Hindu, Sikh, Wiccan, and I love them all dearly. So if you have a different world view than I do, or choose to live your life differently than I do, I still would be happy to be your friend! I believe God is love. It's not my place to judge anyone else, I have enough faults of my own to worry about, haha! I work full time in the tech industry, and I'm also a student. I enjoy online gaming too (world of warcraft especially, and also steam).

So if you're looking for friends, feel free to add me.
Have an awesome day! ♥

    Hi
    I’m Annette from Indiana. I admire your outlook on life. I was once 60 pounds overweight. A lot of people think that’s not a lot, but it I am 5 feet 3 and a diabetic. Also I am over 50. We won’t discuss how far over the line that is. HaHa what I mean is it’s difficult to keep the weight off. I need a fitness buddy to stay motivated.

    Looking forward.


    Annette

    I don’t know how to add people, so please add me! I’ve lost 76 lbs so far but have another 21 to go, doesn’t seem like much but I’m finding it really hard to shift it. I need friends on here to maintain my motivation. 😀😀

    Hi there, I’m also in that looking to lose about 100lbs group. More so about 110 for me. It’s a heck of a journey, but with a good support group, both family and on boards like this, and some self determination it can be done, and made enjoyable.

    Feel free to add me and have a great day.

    Oh me too! Me too!!!🙋 I would love to be pals with you pc! As well as the rest of you! You all sound so motivating, please add me too🌸

    My name is Ali and I've also joined mfp...way back in 2006, ya know when I was 15..😏 (plus 23...). Lol I've just turned 50 on the 6th and I'm a bit freaked out by it, can you tell?! Anywho....I'm on hear to get healthy and live forever since I will need to for my angel son Nick, 17, who is funny, bright, handsome and active...and also autistic💙 My hubby and I want to do our best to be healthy but he's not a "strong" dieter (he basically doesnt😒) and I would love to be there for you all...support is key for success and I promise to give you my all!!!

    Big hugs about the cancer, my bff just fought breast cancer and won so never give up girl...I will not let you!!😘

    I'm 207 and 5'2" and use to run and danced ballet for twenty years prior to running...now I'm lucky to get in a good walk, but I'm going to try my best this time and hopefully get down to 150-140, a place I like to call Narnia since all the cloths from that weight is in the back of my closet😜

    Hugs to new friends and new adventures and successes!
    Ali🌸

    Hi Cinderellas2315, that's so fantastic that you did so great on your anniversary. Happy Anniversary! I hope you had a lovely time. I'm doing pretty good and I'm thankful. I hope you're doing well!

    Hi Ali, I sent you a friend request. I'm glad to hear that your bff won her battle against breast cancer, that's so wonderful! Your Narnia comment cracked me up, good one!
