Hi. I am new here. Need a few friends. I am working hard to shed some weight and would love to see the results of others doing the same.
I love positive support and am very careful about giving advice. I am no doctor or expert.
I also have a lot of people in my personal life who give me advice all the time (without me asking) or even hinting that I need it so.... I promise to always support you and only give my opinion when asked.

    The only advice I'd give is, Don't Give Up! Welcome!! Support and encouragement is crucial for success. I think it's just as important as making good food choices and exercising. Feel free to add me. I'm kind of new to this site ( not the dieting game ) and could use more friends to help me along this journey to fitness.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I like to encourage other people and see their progress. Plus I like the encouragement myself. I'll only give advice if it is asked and generally I will only say that it has worked for me. But everyone has to figure out how to make it work for them or it won't stick.

    Feel free to add me too. I like cheering folks on and don't judge. I've got plenty to lose so I will be here for awhile and I check in every day.

    Hi! I would love to join. Currently working on losing weight- I'm going to weight watchers at work meetings for physical support but this is great to talk when I need it before the meetings.

    My overall goal would be to lose 40 lbs and get down to about 135. My dr says that I am really muscular and testing shows that I should lose 10 lbs or so. I'm also trying to conceive right now.

    I love new friends, and the ones I have found on here are GREAT. Very supportive, and the advice is out of this world. I am constantly saying to myslef "I didn't know that" .

    Please add me as a friend.

    Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey.

    Feel free to add me, I am pretty positive and only offer advice if asked. =)

    Again, GOOD LUCK!

    I believe in rhetorical questions being statements that don't NEED advice thrown at them. I love that people on here care and want to help, but I'm rarely looking for help. Anyone want to be friends and just be cheerleaders? Feel free to add me :]

    Welcome to MFP!! Feel free to add me! I'm all for support on this journey but prefer to ask for advice rather than have it thrown at me. I will do the same for you! :)
