Hi everyone!

I am (once again) starting a weight loss plan to get healthier. During school I was always athletic and was on the basketball and track team, and I was competitively riding horses. After I got pregnant and had my daughter Faith, all the athletic attributes have gone out the window! I am about 10 pounds overweight (by BMI standards) but I really want to lose around 25 to 30. I hear having motivated health buddies makes losing weight easier! I hope that I can get to know some of you and start losing weight together! :)

Anna

    Fill out your profile and you will get some friends. They won't take it seriously if you don't fill it out. GOOD LUCK

    I would be happy to support you! I've found MFP pals to be terrific for motivation.

    Best of luck!! :)

    Fell free to add me! All of you who need friends on MFP! The more the merrier, it helps you to log in on a daily basis, and watch what you're eating so that you will make a good diary entry, not a shabby one :)

    Im about a week into this site , about two weeks into my weight loss plan. I lost 80 pounds before, but got injured, etc. and ended up putting it back on and then some, so now im working on getting out of a hole myself. I haven't got any friends on here yet, but I figure it'd be nice to have some people going through similar situations and possibly even helping each other out some. So if you feel compelled you can add me. I always like supporting others who are fighting for the same thing I am.

    I'm right there with you! I had a baby in March and am working at getting the rest of my baby weight off! I wanted to lose about 25 pounds after having my son Griffin so I'd be happy to be supportive for you!

    You can add me! I was always little and in shape till I had my daughter. I lost most of my baby weight but I'm left with this "Mommy pouch" than hangs over a little and loose belly. I just started this tonight and Monday I will be starting Hip Hop Abs workout.

    Gosh such a warm welcome! :) I will add you all! Everyone has a story on why and how they want to loose, and I think it is great that you are all being so open about your weight loss and your successes/attempts! I feel really positive this time! Thanks everyone!
