in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I have been on MFP for awhile but one of my new years resolutions this year is to get fitness support buddy!! I am a shorty (4'11") and I have about 20 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. I have lost about 20 lbs already since I was at my highest weight. I think that one of my biggest obstacles to losing weight is that a lot of my friends and family are not supportive because they either don't have weight issues or they do not care about their physical health. So that is why I want to be friends with you! Add me if you want to be friends too and share fitness tips and tricks, and motivational messages!!

Thanks!

Gillian

    Thanks for adding me as a friend :) I am glad we can be weight loss buddies and help each other even though sometimes our friends and families can't!!

    We totally need to be buddies!!! I am 5'1" and used to be 40 pounds heavier than I am now. Many of my friends don't get why someone like me wants to lose weight but I try to explain that everyone has body issues no matter your size! And my family isn't supportive because one of the main things we do anytime we get together is eat, eat, eat!!!!!!!!!! I'd love to motivate and support each other! :)

    So true! Anytime friends or family want to get together it's centered around eating!!!

    I'm a shorty too! But I'm about 60lbs away from my goal weight. I found more support from online users than friends and family. I started using this app with friends and family listed but I'm the only one still going strong. Anyway, best of luck making it to your goal!!

    I sent you a friend request, I am new here and want to build up a support system too! I know I need people to hold me accountable and I'd love to help others on their journey too!
