Well, obviously we're all going through the same thing.. just me a bit more than others. I'm starting my journey to lose 100+ lbs. I'm 23 & 5'8 (I think! lol) I don't have a set time limit, as long as it HAPPENS, but that all depends on me. I've tried this a million and one times and never seem to stick with it. If only it was as easy to lose as it is to gain.

I'm hoping to find some friends on here as I've recently had a baby (she's 2 months old :)) so I don't get to see my friends IRL often and a lot of them don't need to or aren't interested in losing weight, anyway. I need a support system!

    Welcome to MFP!! Good luck on your journey. I don't have any set time limits either but I am going to start this week to make small goals for myself. I love it here at MFP but I need a boost this week so I hope a small goal will do the trick. Add me :smile:

    Feel free to add me! I have lost a total about 60 lbs since 2009, and 30 lbs since I joined MFP in January. Its the friends that really helped me and make this the first time I've stuck to anything in my life! I don't ever want to let them down and I can't sit in the house watching them posting about all their workouts.

    Feel free to add me :) it definitely can be a difficult journey to stick with, but with enough support I think we can do it. So far mfp has seemed to be pretty good, I just joined about two weeks ago.

    Feel free to add me! I'm in the same boat! I'm 20, turning 21 in a couple months and I'm on this journey to lose 100+ pounds as well. I've fallen off the bandwagon a lot and my real life friends aren't into losing weight, either. So, I don't really have a support system besides my aunt. She's cool and all but I want a bigger support system xD
