Hi everyone! :flowerforyou:

I'm Melanie, and new to MFP and enjoy poking around in the message boards. (Great info out there and amazing support!) But that's how I found out about this group so here I am. I'm 40yr old and have 2 little girls. I'm (almost) divorced after about 7 years of marriage. I've got nobody around to exercise with or diet with so I'm totally lovin' MFP so far!

Hey, I am Adam, 24yo and I am from Southwest PA. I found MFP one day when I was bored looking through apps on my phone. I used to do the calorie counting with fitday but I would never keep up with it for very long. The social aspect of MFP is what has made me get my 15 days of logging in message this morning. I believe that weight loss and any health improving activity is much easier and much more fun when you have people to do it with. At my heaviest I was 280 and growing. That was when I graduated college. I have lost some weight since then and gained some back. I started MFP at 260 and have already lost 5 pounds!

As for the single half of me. I have always had issues finding gf's because of my lack of confidence. I also don't believe my weight and general round shape has helped much either. I would love to find someone who loves me when I am big and will just take the smaller me as a bonus but I am not all that hopeful anymore. I admit that there is a part of me that is striving for the weight loss because I want to be able to attract more women.

Feel free to friend me if you want, the more friends we have, the more motivation we have.

Hi everyone! I'm Pam, 32 years old, single and crazy (lol) from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada! I've been single for quite some time but I am enjoying the freedom. I am very busy, opening my own business this spring, working full time in auto manufacturing, part-time fire performer and skydiver :happy:

Eventually I will find that guy that will settle me down, in the mean time I work to make myself healthy and financially secure, I have a bad pattern in my past of gaining large amounts of weight whenever a relationship goes bad, I am determined to break that pattern and MFP is a great way to keep myself on track!

Awesomeness!!

Hi! I'm Dorian and I'm in Chicago, IL. It feels a little strange to be posting here but I am a single girl who uses this site a lot so I should try more communities!
I'm fairly newly single- I got out of a 2 year relationship about a month ago. Being single isn't as difficult as I thought it would be, although it's really weird to flirt with people. Four years ago I lost about a hundred pounds, but with school and a relationship, I let twenty pounds slip back on.
I have to admit, one thing I've loved about being single is getting to eat what I want (vegetables), go to the gym any time I want, and never having to worry that my boyfriend is going to look down on me for worrying about my weight or think I'm not being fun because I won't get pizza. I can obsess about my diet and exercise as much as I want.
It's weird how this extra 20 pounds makes me feel less confident in myself. I think it's being out of shape as much as anything. I feel like, if you can run a 10k, you can't be fat. My goal for February is to get back up to 4 miles.

Anyways, if you would like to be friends, or talk about adventures in dating, I am certainly up for it! I fell off my bike in front of a potential beau on Saturday night! I don't think that one's calling me!

Hi I'm Jessica! I ended a four year relationship about a year ago. I've dated some since then but mostly have been concentrating on me, my job, and school. I've learned alot about myself in the past year, who I am, and who I want to be. I was on here a while before and then stopped. I'm really glad to be back and living a healthy lifestyle! Looking forward to supporting each other. Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

I'm single... 32 years old, and living in Pittsburgh, PA. I dated a guy for 10 years, but broke it off because it became clear we didn't have the same goals in life. We'd been living with his parents. I was saving to get out... He was going in debt and buying video games. I was buying us groceries.

I expect a lot of guys want a family and I don't. And don't want pressured into it.

There was a guy who kept striking up conversations with me until he found out that I don't care to drink. Then, he started acting like a jerk about it.

I am who I am. Maybe someday I'll find the guy who likes me for that.

I used to play sports and wish I could meet guys that way, but I've got two bad knees and back pain. Maybe I'm not meant to meet anyone until people my age are going at my speed. LOL! I love nature... bird-watching, photography... I've fished before and enjoyed it. I love musicals, theater... I think I'd enjoy watching dance. I like just being out and about, and having a nice lunch.

I was smiling at the chivalry thread. I'd like to meet a guy who is thoughtful, kind, respectful. But it seems pretty rare.

Hello and welcome to the new peeps, 975 strong and counting!

Hi, I'm Juan, 39 from WI, I joined in February and I just found out about this group. Oh yeah, I've been single for about 2 years now. I have 2 children, girls, who really are my love and motivation. I want to be around as long as I can, especially to be able to walk them down the aisle when they need me to.
