Hi, my name is Raquel and I'm a 34 yr old, married, mother of 2 beautiful girls. I'm new to fitness pal, been tracking for about a week and decided to see who's out there also looking for some support & encouragement from someone other than family & friends, god love em', but unless you're battling weight loss I just don't think they truly understand what it's like for us carrying the weight and the challenge it is to lose it. Friend me if you like :flowerforyou:

    I've been on MFP for over 95 days (MFP tells you every 5 days or I'd have no clue) and would love to help. Feel free to send friend requests but be warned.. I don't take myself or anything else too seriously and I love to laugh (check out my blog if you're looking for my "style")... ;)

    oops, can you tell i'm new to this, my name's Louise, i know where you're coming from regarding family and friends, i desperately want to lose a stone, i look ok but i'm not happy with myself and it doesn't help when people always say go on have a bit more you don't need to lose weight, sounds like we're on the same wavelength so i'll send you a friend request :)

    I've been on MFP since October, and have shed close to 36 pounds. It definitely works!

    Hi there! Love your idea- I too am looking for more friends and support. Accountability seems to be my weakness so this time around I'm trying to solicate more external support. I've lost 40 lbs on my journey (ultimate goal is to lose 80lb), but keep hitting a wall at the 50 lbs mark and have been juggling these current 10 lbs for longer than I care to admit. Desperately want to get past this barrier, so I'm focused and ready!

    Please feel free to add me- and yell at me if I'm not tracking!!! :)

    Oh... and no human children, but one amazing lab/whippet mix rules my world.
