I'm new too! We can do this!!

Just discovered myfitness pal! Looking to shed as many pounds as I can, which is a lot! Looking to meet some people and make some friends along the way!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this group and need all the help and encouragement I can get. I've been a member to MFP for a while now. I stopped coming but am now determined to make it work for me!

Hello everyone and welcome to the group. I made the group because i have some friend on MFP that work with me or are real life friends and we are doing a little compettion(I am a little competitive). However; they only have small amounts to lose and I wanted to have a group of friends who were dealing with the same struggle. I have been on MFP since the new year and have lost a little over 30 pounds. My goal is to do challenges and push eachother but I also like the idea of just checking in and supporting eachother. I think I will post a challenge every Sunday night an see how it does from there.

Hello hello! I want to hang out with the COOL kids!! 36 yrs, 5'9" and need to lose 140 pounds or so. Good golly that's frightening to say out loud.

I really like the way the people on this site are so supportive. Its really helpful to me to see other people reaching their goals and encouraging each other.

HI, I am excited to be in your group. I have a desk job and I am just staring to workout. and I am having trouble eating enough each day ... any suggestions would be welcome. I have over 130 lbs to lose and I am trying to boost my metabolism!

Welcome to the group!!! I also have a deak job so I know how hard that can me sometimes. As for your question I wonder if you are eating enough protein. Usually my protein is where a majority of my calories come from.

Hi everyone! I just found the group, and am thrilled to find a group of people facing similar difficulties to mine. I started on MFP last summer and lost almost 30 pounds. Unfortunately, I got discouraged and gave up. That led to a horrible gain of most of the weight back. I now realize that the lack of support I experienced may have been a contributing factor in that. I'm looking to lose about 150 total and I know that we can all do this together!

Well I hope this group is the support and motivation you need.

Hi all,

Well we are happy to have you as a member of the group.

I'm new too. Love MFP! I'm getting married May 12th. I'm not trying to lose weight for the wedding - I just don't want to die early now that I've found my soulmate.
