    Hi! I just started yesterday and am looking for friends too. I have about 65 pounds to lose, so I know this will be a long journey but well worth it! Good luck to you :happy:

    I've lost 43lbs but have another 58 to go (for a total loss of 101 lbs)! If you'd like to add me or message me at any time, feel free!

    Take it 5-10 pounds at a time! Don't think about "oh, I've got 90 pounds to lose", think "Only 5 more lbs til I am at ______:"

    Welcome! When I started in January, I had 80lbs to go to get to a healthy BMI. I am now 21 lbs from that goal. I encourage you to find supportive friends and keep at it. It is tough with little guys at home, but this is a great place to get support. Feel free to add me if you would like. Good luck!!:flowerforyou:

    Hi! Welcome! I have down 7lbs since starting MFP 3 weeks ago. I have another 55lbs to lose to reach my goal, but I am setting small goals for myself. Like to lose 14lbs in 6 weeks then when that is up I'll make another goal to keep me on track.
    I wish everyone good luck and feel free to add me for support!

    Hi! I just started the weight loss process over yesterday. Last year, I loss 50lbs; but, I have since gained some of the weight back. Since the summer, I have lost 15lbs of the weight I gained back. My ultimate goal is to lose 100-110lbs. I know I can do it, I just have to stay motivated and remember I didn't gain it overnight. This time, I am going to push to get the weight off and I greatly appreciate any additional support. Best of luck to everyone else working towards similar goals!
