I'm looking too. I joined in November, but did basically nothing. I'm back on the wagon now.

joined in December, but just really started to use MFP this week. Always looking for new friends so we can take this journey together!

I joined in November and was doing really well with this site until Christmas hit. I put a few pounds back on but I'm working hard again to lose them. I am always looking for new friends so feel free to add me.

Add me, need some encouragement, thanks

Open to being added by all wanting to give and offer support!

Add me. I am new and could use the support as well!

I understand where your coming from, being 43 my weightloss remedys I used at a younger age dont work any more. I have younger friends who do not understand this truth. I work 2 days a week at a gym and I'm working hard to get to my goal. Because I work at a gym and I'm over weight I put pressure on myself daily to look the way someone should look when they work in a gym. My weight loss has been slow and the inches decrease slower. I work out often and eat less but my body seems to be slow in progress. I have lost 10 lbs before I joined MFP in November. I have to loose 35 lbs before I'd even think about the beach. I believe what has worked for me is the fact that I have made up my mind to accomplish this goal. I dont care how slow it comes off as long as it continues to come off. It has taken me 4 years to get this fat I really cant expect to take it off in a few months. I got myself into this fatty mess and I will get myself out. On a lighter note I have a fulfilled happy life, a Mom of two young men, grandmother of an active six yr old., and a wonderful husband who tells me every day I love you the way you are, and two supportive parents. I'd love to have a few wonderful friends as well who really understand the struggle of weight.

I added you, and i will support you...i need all the help i can get too.

I sure don't feel like it should be 40 but I'm starting to look like it, I'm no longer getting carded when I go and occasionally buy my roommate's cigs and me an adult drink...it's depressing, I know that some of it's my weight and plus I'm getting the natural highlights from mother nature (grays)...

I am looking for some motivational pals as well. Only 8 more sleeps until I turn 40 and making it my goal to be Fit and 40! I've put myself on the backburner for too long - this is my year. I've lost 40 lbs and so I would like to lose another 40-50. Going to see how it goes and find the sweet spot.
