i am looking for a few online friends for support and motivation. My goal is 45lbs by my 45th birthday in June. I am changing my lifestyle and attitude, not going on another diet. I have a pretty busy lifestyle so finding time can sometimes be a challenge. 3 busy kids (20, 18 and 16), work full time and lots of volunteering.

Looking forward to meeting others!

    Hi Canadadeb, I too just started actively with this site and am looking for some support and motivation. I would like to lose 60 lbs this year (40th b-day). Debra

    Hey all :) I am fairly new to this site...well ACTUALLY using it properly that is, been a member for a while. I have tried lots of things previously, but tracking weight loss, food and exercise is the only thing that's ever worked for me.

    I've lost 21lbs all by myself between March 2010 and December 2011 (quite a long time I know) but am managing to keep it off...but I have remained fairly static since November 2011 so am hoping to kick start everything again!

    My first goal for 2012 is to lose 21lbs by June, as we're meant to be going on a sunshine break for our 9th anniversary...but I am currently terrified of wearing anything summery as I am so self conscious of my body (particularly my thighs, bum and belly). I WILL wear a bikini, I will feel confident....that is my first goal.

    My second goal for 2012 is to then lose a further 12lbs by the beginning of November so that I am a healthy weight ready for my 30th birthday!!

    I still won't be at my end target weight, but I will have made excellent progress. I plan to do this by getting much more active, by eating much healthier and by driving myself towards my goals with enthusiasm...I anticipate bumps in the road, and will not begrudge myself the occasional treat...but support and encouragement from likeminded people won't go amiss :)

    Please feel free to add me, so that I can also support you on your own journey...happy to help out if I can!

    Thanks for reading...Good luck!

    Love this site/app! I've lost 71 lbs since February of 2011, and I owe a lot my success to tracking my calories here.

    Hello All,
    I just became a member to this site/app, I was invited by a friend, But I CAN USE ALL THE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT I CAN GET!!!! I have tried and failed so many diet plans, i am tired of being tired. I've made it up mind that I will not give up on me! I am ready to conquer my bad eating habits and enforce a more healthy lifestyle One day at a time.....

    I like this site because it seems to offer a space where I can be honest with not only my self but with ppl dealing with the same issue. I'm looking forward to the journey ahead.......;)

    I just came back to the site tonight myself. We have similar goals....I'd like to lose 50 lbs by my 50th in July. Aggressive yes, but I'll take close! Maybe we can support each other. Friend request sent. :smile:
