in Motivation and Support
Hey all!!! My name is Sarah and I have been with MFP since 2012. Although 2018 has been the year from Hell....I am ready to focus on my health and weight loss again! When I first started MFP, I lost 40lbs and I felt amazing. Back then though, I still hated my body (I had to have been cray cray cause now I look back and I am dying to have that body!!) and unfortunately gained it all back and then some 😢 I had my biometrics screening with my employer and received my results last week, borderline everything...even my blood pressure, which I have never had problems with before! And don’t even get me started on my BMI results LOL!

Anyways, most of my friends on “MFP” are inactive now and am looking for some new friends who may be interested in joining me in trying to lose 20ish pounds by March 😊 try to motivate each other!!! Anyone with me or recently had a biometrics screening too?? Let’s do this!!

    Nice! I've been on MFP since 2010 and have lost 33 ish lbs while here (and 80 ish over all). I regained 10 lbs since the summer when I stopped lifting and working out in general. I have about 20 to lose to get to my goal, and this would be a great chance to keep motivated and support each other! :) I'm in!

    I’m an active MFPer! Lost 60lbs last year and then put 20 on when I moved to Rome. I started a challenge to lose 10lbs by new year a few weeks back and then I hope to lose another 10 by March so I’m in! Feel free to add me😊

    I’m in! I’ve lost 50 lbs, gained 20 back, and now I’m 10 down again but still want to lose another 20! I’ve been tracking everything I eat (using a scale and everything) and got a more physical job this past month and have only lost a couple pounds (super frustrating) but have lost inches. Here’s to 20!!

    I'd love to join in. I have more than 20 that I need to loose in order to be at a healthy weight for my height. However, 20 lbs is a nice intermediate goal. I've struggled to loose weight over the last few years. Never being able to drop below 155 and I'd like to break that.

    I'm In. If needed I have a weight loss spreadsheet (think "biggest loser" ) to help determine who is in the lead (it does require you to tell me your weight - we are all this together - no shame)

    I started using MFP back in 2011. I had lost about 20 pounds and was the smallest I'd ever been, felt and looked great and kept it off for about a year before becoming pregnant. Lost all but 10 pounds of the pregnancy weight and became pregnant again. Ever since my last pregnancy, I've struggled getting the weight off. I got down to 5 pounds within my goal weight and then life became stressful, my thyroid has been out of whack which has caused me to gain back what I'd lost. It doesn't matter what I do....eat healthy, exercise, low carb....I can't get the weight off. I would love the accountability, so please feel free to add me!!

    I don’t think you are added to anything? Just follow this thread. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    I'm deciding to post my official (re)start weight. :)

    SW (11/19): 161.4
    GW (3/1): 141-ish

    I did my 2nd lifting session today, after a long long break from the gym. I want to add more cardio too (kick-boxing).

    I hope everyone is doing well. :+1:

    Hi Frenchy! Just like you, I lost about 40 pounds on MFP four years ago and gained it back plus some. Last time I did it alone, without any accountability, so now it's time to do things a little differently. I'm definitely in for the challenge, and feel free to add me as a friend!
