Hi everyone!
I'm Jessica, and my goal is to drop 25 pounds by summer :)
I started using MFP 2 days ago and am very happy with it!
However I don't have many friends on here :( introduce yourself to me or add me!
A little extra motivation never hurt anybody ;)

    Hi Jessica! Welcome to MFP! I joined about a year ago but was never really active in posting or had any friends for accountability. That's probably why I can't shake the last few pounds! hehe :) Some motivation definitely won't hurt. Good luck on your progress!

    Thanks! this is the 2nd time I have joined, i had too many ups and downs on my last account, and i didnt log on much as i always felt guilty listing my foods! so i thought a brand new fresh account would be great :) good luck to you too!

    Hi Jessica,
    Welcome. I've been using MFP for the last 2 years. Was very successful and dropped 25lbs then got lazy and gained it back, so not as of the 1st on a mission for not only the 25 I lost but for another 25 on top of it. I'm not super large, and hide my weight well at 5'9" but definately feel better when I am at a lower weight. I'm currently engaged in a lifestyle diet that it's goal is to remove processed foods from your diet, so no artificial sugars, or processed flours etc. Check the recipe group I just started at Recipe Group (Sugar & Flour Free Recipes). Hope you can stay motivated, it can be tough but with support from family & friends and on here I am positive we can continue to eat healthy and loose the weight!

    Aw I understand, I used to feel guilty about listing my foods too. I don't eat healthy all the time and I LOVE food. After a while I decided life is too short not to enjoy food (moderately) so don't feel guilty about listing your foods :). The whole point is to be honest with yourself with what you're eating and being accountable to yourself :) And we all need a break from being "good" all the time hehe. As long as I don't fall off the wagon for too long I consider that a personal success. If I don't gain any weight that month I also consider that a success. So don't be too hard on yourself :)

    Is your profile picture current?

    You already look fit.
    Anyway, good luck to you.

    Hi Jessica,

    I just joined 3 weeks ago and have lost 6 pounds so far. I want to loose 30 by my 45th birthday on May 27th....but doing the small goals each week of the 2 pounds and so for it is working. First time I have uses MFP but having to be accountable and loging my food is truly working. My boyfriend and I are doing it together. I have two out to eats this weekends for birthdays and the whole planning thing is great cuz now I already know what I am eating at Olive Garden on Friday night and at First Watch on Saturday. This program is amazing and helps me stay focused.

    Good luck and hope you do great!!!

    I'm getting in shape for the summer (starting early) & trying for a flat stomach for the bikini! And I agree, if your picture is current you already look fit. MFP is great for just general fitness too.

    Yes, it is. I am just trying to get down to my lowest weight again, at 125 pounds! I have been that weight all my life, but have put on 25 pounds recently and I decided now is the time to do something about it!

    Hi - I'm Johanna. This is my first time on MFP - and I love it!! I was always told to keep a food log and never did. Now I see why it works. I started January 1 and lost 8 pounds already. My story is - I have always been up and down, but 3 years ago I got laid off from a job I loved and was laid off for a year - so I ate and drank way too much. Then I got a job - and I hated it - so eating and drinking way too much again - finally found a job I really love and it has taken me the third year to finally get in the right mindset. Anyway, I have 65+ pounds to lose. I've lost 8 since January 1st so I'm really motivated. I can use all the motivation I can get though so feel free to friend me. JROW0524.

    Heya,

    Add me if you want support! I don't have a wealth of information but I can offer words of encouragement and do pay attention to my friends progress within the program :-). I regularly log in to log my progress it would awesome to see other succeed as well. I think accountability helps us stick to our plans and goals! :-)

    Hi Jessica, I just started MFP too. Well I've had the account, but havent used it in a long time. I'm doing a P90X and Insanity hybrid along with eating healthy to get back to where I was a few years ago. I'm not a coach or anything like that, although I guess you can do that with Beachbody, but I had great results the first time and am excited with the second time around. I could always use some friends on here, so feel free to add me. So far I've lost 7 lbs since Jan 1 and looking to lose another 22.
