Hi I'm Sean a 40 something father of three that is tired of being tired, fat and self conscious. Looking for some friends to help me along my journey.

    You're in a great place! This site and the people you will "meet" are very helpful and encouraging. One thing that helps it seem less daunting is to have mini-goals. Try thinking "5 lbs at a time" rather then just focusing on your end goal. :)

    Welcome! Wishing you great success. This is the place to be, look up people by hitting the find members and ask to be friends. You can select age, male or female, how far away they are and by the amount of weight they need to lose. I just go with everyone as we are all on here looking to do the same thing. So if you want friend me, I'd be honored. Have a fantastic day!:drinker:

    Welcome! You can totally do this! I just turned 40 and have lost 36 pounds since April by just watching portion sizes and my overall calorie count. A few weeks ago, I entered the healthy BMI range for the first time in 10 years! Overall, it's been pretty easy and painless. You'll get lots of support on MFP!

    Hey - welcome and good luck! I was there less than a month ago, and have so much to lose - I know exactly how you feel. But every day you watch yourself meet your calorie goals, and then your weight starts to go down, and little by little you start to meet those goals. And anytime you feel discouraged, there are GREAT people here to lend a helping hand... er... ear... er... finger? Well, whatever they're lending, it sure makes a difference!

    Feel free to add me if you're looking for friends! :)
