    Hi Laura, I'm in the same boat!! I put on 7kg about 2 years ago and have yo-yo'd ever since. I have been engaged for 1 1/2 years now and keep putting off the wedding date - one of the reasons is because I haven't focused on getting myself to a happy weight. I am hoping to shift the weight quickly (in a few months!!) so I would love to partner with you and all those who replied to your post. Let's do it!!

    I was doing great on here also. When got the news I could not do anything cause of my problems, I would just eat and do nothing. So I gained lots of weight. Now I have to have a major surgery, the Doctor did not say to loose any weight but I know it will help. so I am trying to get back.. IF you need anyone to talk with just add me as a friend I will give you support.

    Hi,

    I'm new to MFP and would like to lose between 40-50 pounds. I'm a working mom and have difficulty finding time to exercise. So I too am looking for friends to keep me motivated.

    Hi Laura - and all other newbies!

    I've just started that awful, awful phrase, my weight loss journey, and not being encouraged by the fact my banner ad is currently showing a website for ordering takeaways online. Excellent. Like you and others I've lost the weight before and put it back on, but time for a change. We've done it before and we can do it again.

    Congratulations for your upcoming wedding - I'm sending you a friend request and hope we can both be of support to each other in getting to our goal. Cheers!

    Hi ALL,
    I am not new to MFP but I am newly committed to logging daily to reach my new goals. I lost 30 lbs a few years ago and feel great. I am turning 40 this year and determined to be in the best shape of my life. Part of my job is helping people get healthy, so I always love exchanging ideas and recipes. Would love to add you guys! Definitely want to use the MFP community to additional support through my journey.
