I've been doing MFP for almost 2 months. I have a few friends on the site but would like a few more I'm looking for people with similar goals. I'm 41 with 2 children and work full time. I've lost 15 lbs so far. My original goal was to lose 104 but that may change once I get there. That would get me down to 160 lbs which still is probably over where I need to be but I wanted to be realistic to start out. Right now I'm trying to get to 240 by the time I go to my next doctor appointment on March 27th. I'm 9 away from that so that is very doable. I was looking through posts but had a hard time weeding through to find those who had similar goals. I know you're out there but there are just so many posts to go thru to find you.

    Thanks to all who have responded. I know my body better than to jump into intense high impact workouts. I'm working exercise into my life slowly. I try to walk/run on the treadmill at least 5 days a week and I also do some calisthenics including hand weights several days per week. I tried the 30 day shred last week and was sore for 3 days. I actually spread the workout over 3 sessions in the same evening just to get thru it. I may try it again but I have to work it in slowly as my body gets stronger.

    Hi all! I'm Michelle and the end of the day today marks my first full week here. Well, my first full real week. Started off just logging what I was eating so I could see how bad I was being. I'm 45, no kids but 3 cats and a smart mouthed parrot. I work full time and my goal at the moment is to drop about 130 but that is subject to change as I get closer to goal.

    Hi everyone, I'm Nicki :-) a 44 year old mum of 4 children aged 13, 9, 5 and 1. I joined MFP in July 2011 then 'forgot' all about it until January 2012 when I decided it was to time to finally tackle my weight. I want to lose at least 117lbs in total which will take me to the top healthy BMI for my height. When I get there I'll see how I feel ;-) So far I've lost 18.5 lbs.... Please feel free to add me as a friend. This is a side of MFP I haven't really used yet so I haven't added any friends so far.

    I'm new to MFP. I'm 47 and have lost almost 40lbs over the last year. Looking to lost about 100 more (probably more). Came here because I need more motivation. I've been having a hard time getting the food issue resolved. I have no problem with the exercise portion. I work out 6 days a week (2 with a trainer). I have two children in college and work full time. I do pretty good during the work day, but the weekend are my problem times. Any words of encouragement / advise would be greatly appreciated.
