edited December 20 in Motivation and Support
I am looking for some motivational and supportive friends. I not only need the support but I also give support and motivation and am a great listener (reader) for venting. Whatever it takes for us to reach our goals I am game!

I am a 5'8" 43 year old female and I want to lose an additional 67 pounds. So far I have lost 22 and am very excited about it! Woohoo, go me!

I slip every now and again and need that virtual kick in the pants to stay on track. So if you are interested just "friend" me and we can continue on this journey together.

    Hi, I'm 42. I'm always looking for new friends who are on the same trip to get healthy and fit. I've been doing mfp, with hubby and my youngest son, for 453 days. Combined we've lost 380 pounds. I still have more to lose, and so does my hubby. It's nice, though, to meet and chat with other women, since I'm the only female in my house, lol. Please feel free to add me.

    Im 5'3 down 51 pds and have 30 to go. mother of 2 wonderful daughters, grown and on their own.. just me and hubby at home.I started this journey jan.1st 2012, and have been very happy with the healthier me I have become.This program and the support is wonderful! I will be 46 in june, its taken me 20 years to figure out all you have to do is count calories and move, move, move! Glad to support anyone that needs it, and can use all the support myself... good luck!

    SOME DAYS... some days I think I cant, when I know that I can..some days I want the bad foods but know that I shouldn't..some days exercise beats me before I can beat it..some days I must crawl before I can walk..BUT everyday I know I can come here and gain my insperation and be reminded that my body is the only home I have and I must be a powerful keeper of it..

    HI there!

    I'm 45, 5' 6", and have 60 lbs to lose. I've lost 2 lbs. so far, but that was back in March, and since then I've ignored the diet and exercise and haven't gone anywhere. I could definitely use some motivation. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I know I sent you a friend request already (and to some others from here as well) but, for anyone else who would like more support, feel free to send me a friend request. The more support we have, the better we will do (I believe).

    You are absolutely right, can't have enough support.

    Hi! I had sent you a friend request. I am 47, 5'8" and recently started this program. If there is anyone else out there that would like support, someone to chat with and share ideas, please friend request me also. The more the merrier, I say. We can get through this together.
