I've been using MFP on and off (not 100% by choice) and I really need to get this weight off. I am almost 25 years old and a wahm mama to a wonderful 10mo girl and in an inter-continental relationship with her papa. I am at 246lbs and want to lose AT LEAST 80-90lbs. I am not very creative in the kitchen and still have a hard time resisting temptation. I also need help with coming up with recipes to feed five people on a tight budget. As you can see, I need as many supportive, motivating and inspiring friends as possible! Someone who can share recipes with me and give me work out tips (that I can do at home) and basically help me through my journey. I will of course do the same for you!

    I'll add you! I'm also looking for supportive/motivating friends. I exclusively workout at home, so feel free to ask if you need tips/advice!

    I will add several of you. My starting weight is around yours and I am one year older than you. I also would like to lose between 80-90 lbs. I have been on here about 4 months but only increased my engagement over the last week. I find that motivational quotes and pictures before lunch and before I head to a workout has helped.

    Hi there, I'm wanting to loose about the same amount and I'm getting there but I'm trying to do it this year (seems a long time) but I've been off and on diets my whole life and wasted lots of money doing it. But this time hopefully for good on a budget! I can't help with the self control, but I can help with the support :wink:

    I am fairly new to MFP and need motivation from friends as well! I think that it helps to keep you accountable for your weightloss. I'd be glad to add you! Maybe I'll even get a couple more friends added as well!

    So, there with you. I need to be more motivated and supported by people! It's nice, but I need to step up my game. I've been on this website since about September and have not stuck with this enough. Definitely need support and encouragement!

    Hi Everybody! :) I'm new as of today. I don't have any friends here. I'm not looking to lose much more. I lost most of my weight last year and I'm within 5-10 pounds of my goal weight. Please add me cuz I don't know how to add any of you yet! LOL Still figuring all this out too. :)

    I have very similar weight loss goals as you! I've been on here for about a month and am just starting to venture onto the boards. I would love to share recipes with you. I cook relatively healthy and always cheap! I'm a SAHM, so my hubby's income has to stretch with four kids :) I will add you now!
