Hi All! I've been on MFP off and on for a couple years. Until recently I haven't ever taken full advantage of all it has to offer. I'm 6 weeks into my "journey" this time, and I've just realized how much I desire more support. Perhaps the lack of support has had a hand in my giving up in the past. So, I'm throwing this out there in hopes of finding some people who can help keep me motivated while I attempt to do so for them as well. I'm a 34yo, stay at mom of 2, full time college student, literally stuck on an island (I live in Hawaii). I've lost 19lbs in the past 6 weeks, and have a good 50lbs left to go. Would love to add some new friends to the mix to help me reach my goal.

    Hi there....I'm with you on the importance of support. If I have no one else to answer to I pretty much don't keep it up. I'm lucky to have my sister who checks in on me frequently....it really does help a lot. My two daughters are also grown, now it's time to focus a lil more on myself. Add me...we can motivate each other. =)

    Hi - I've been doing this for about 8 weeks but have not had much success. But, I do not give up and will keep trying.

    Feel free to add me. I initially started simply logging my calories and exercise and getting off, but I've found interacting in the community and meeting these very interesting people on MFP has kept me engaged with my weight loss goals in a way that is fun and keeps me focused. I think it's great that you are reaching out. Good luck!

    I'm a stay at home mom of 1. Looking to lose 15- 20 pounds, and this site is really the only thing keeping me on track. I'm on week 3 of diligently logging everything - and while I don't own a scale, my clothes sure fit better! Feel free to add me. I'm stuck in a teensy farm town in Italy.

    Thanks for all the replies! I'm already feeling less alone in this battle. I think I sent a request to everyone that didn't send me one, if I missed you feel free to add me and my apologies for inadvertently missing you. :(
