I love my core group on MFP, but sadly it looks as tho a few have dropped by the wayside. I am motivated by the "WTG"s from my friends, and now that my active group is smaller, I'm receiving less support.

And I love to GIVE support as well as receive, so if you would like to add me, feel free. I'm a pretty average person, just looking to get and stay HEALTHY.

    I could really do with some support too. Every time I lose a couple pounds I seem to put most of them on again. I rarely go past my calorie allowence, and even then not by much. I am being really careful, trying to exercise a bit more, and it just doesnt; seem liek it's working at the moment. I don;t want to go on about it to my friends. Especially as none of them need to diet. Some support and encouragement would be really great. Just reminders of why I need to say no when I am offered a biscuit or something really. In return I would do the same for you.

    Also, I have no idea how to add people on here. I haven;t explored it all that much.

    Thank you.

    Hi! I sit for a large portion of my day. Over the past 5-6 years I've really packed on the pounds and in May 2010 I made the decision to "get off the couch". Started at Curves I worked my way up to Curves 3 times a week and Curves Zumba 3-4 times a week. To date I've lost 57 lbs and have at least 43 to go. A friend turned me on to MFP in early August and I'm loving it. 13 of the 57 lbs have been since I joined. Years ago when my son was a toddler I did Weight Watchers and I find that MFP is very much like the "old' WW. Very easy to use and full of information.

    I'm now doing regular Zumba 4 times a week, Zumba toning twice a week and strength training at Anytime Fitness 3 times a week. I'm really trying to make lifestyle changes regarding exercise and food so that it isn't a "diet". We all know that diets fail because once you stop you go right back to your old habits. When I decide what to eat whether it be home or at a restaurant I check the calories here and say to myself " is this worth XXX calories or can I make a better choice?". I find by using this method there are things that I used to eat "just because" that I no longer want. It's quite liberating to not just eat whatever and then feel crappy.

    I learned a long time ago that weight loss, while a personal journey on some levels, is also a village journey. The more support you have the easier it is. I'd love to meet some people here who are on the same journey.

    Thanks for reading and have a great day. Remember: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

    Linda
