Hi! My name is Carmen, I'm 23 and I'm from Puerto Rico. I just joined this community and I'm looking for new friends, people who as me, are struggling with weight loss. I've realized that alone, its more difficult to stay focused and motivated. I have to lose 55 pounds, but I'm focused on 30 first. I'm 5'2 so I feel like I look like a meatball, even though I don't look like it. I show most of my weight in my arms, buttocks, hips and thighs... In June I lost 15 pound but between vacation eating and my poor eating habits, (result of being a grad-school student) I gained them back, and some more... I would appreciate any support and new friends, and you sure can count on my support...

Well, thanks for reading and have a nice day! :-)

    Hi, Carmen. I am 56, 5'3" so I understand how it is. I, too, need to lose 30 lbs. Maybe we can encourage each other? I lost some weight using MFP, but have gained back most of it. Determined not to do that again!

    I'm in the same boat!! I'm 5'2" and would love to lose 60 pounds, but first am focusing on losing 30. I can always use more friends to help motivate and keep me motivated too!
