Hi, I'm 48 and fat. I just signed up for this yesterday, I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs in 5 months. I'd like to get a few friends as I believe the camaraderie will be a big help. So if you got room for another friend please let me know. Thanks.

    Good luck on your journey! Just a friendly word of advice, maybe don't set yourself a 5 month deadline for losing the weight! Just take it slow and steady and you'll be a healthier you before you know it!

    I'm 51 and fat... but can happily say LESS FAT than I was before!

    You'll be saying the same soon.. and eventually we'll BOTH say "I'm FIT!"

    Friend-request me if you'd like... we're gonna be posting in the Inspirational section soon!

    Count me in. I just joined yesterday as well. Time to get off my butt and back into my clothes which are literally bulging at the seams. I refuse to buy new ones!

    Took me a while to finally admit that. Good luck. You can do this. Six months in I have lost over 60 pounds.

    hi . I'm so glad you decided to join. This site has been so helpful to me. I'd love it if you added me as a friend. I'm on every day and would love to have another friend. I'm 44 and I was fat, now I'm on my way to being thin.

    You got this!!! I am almost near the 30 mark with 3 kids and informed today that my boyfriend does not think I can lose weight so i would say I am fat too. There are some pretty awesome people on here, you will have all the motivation you need, stick to it and you will do fine.:wink:

    I'm not quite to 48 yet and not fat now, just a bit "fluffy", but I was fat when I joined MFP! I'm more fit now than I have ever been since I was a teenager. You can do it, too!

    !! I hope this was reverse psycology, I hate it when people say things like that. They don't realise how hurtful they are being/can be and how much these things can impact a person.

    Positive all the way is my philosphy!

    I'm 22 years old, 414lbs fat (after losing an entire young child ... I MEAN... 74 pounds) and I'm on @least once a day. Friend request is coming your way... :)

    I think the motivation to NOT have to buy new fat clothes is what kicks a lot of us into geaar! Good luck!!!

    I am 24. Gave birth to one, but parent to three, ages 13, 9, and almost 2. My mother just landed herself in the ICU, because she is overweight and diabetic, with a blood sugar of 1600 (I thought I heard wrong, but I didn't. She is lucky to be alive) and the nurse looked at me and said "You should start watching your weight now so you don't end up here, you are already on that road".

    I just signed up this morning (thank you sister in law for showing me this) and hope to be a success at losing weight. I guess I don't know what else to say, but if you are looking for a friend, I am a great one! :laugh:

    I just started this yesterday and I love it! Everyone here seems So nice and awesome. I started an "assessing my health" November 1st and writing in a journal wasn't easy and I lost track after the 16th. This app is really convenient and has everything I need.

    I am 22 and 126lbs. I am 5'0 with a small frame so that is a bit chubby for me. Add me and I'll add you! Good luck!
