Hello!

Hi! My name is Lauren. I am 37 looking for friends that are serious about improving themselves. I need to lose about 30 lb. I finally feel like I’m at a place in my life where I can make time for me (I know that sounds bad but it’s true). I’m ready to take back my body and build lifelong healthy behaviors.

    Hi Lauren. My name is Anna. I am 42. I also want to lose about 30 lbs. I have been using MFP for over 5 years, and it has helped me tremendously. But, things got out of hand this last year and I gained 20 lbs. I am also, like you said, finally at a place in my life where I can really focus on myself. Nice to meet you! I have never posted in the MFP community before, and I finally decided I should check it out because having friends is probably the best path to success.

    Hi Lauren. I'm Sarah, looking to lose a little more than that (~50lbs). I too have made 2023 about prioritizing my health. If you're looking for an accountability partner I'd love to join you on your journey!
