    Needing some friends here

    edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
    Hi, I am starting on my weight loss goal and would love to have some friends to give a little support, and would love to help someone if I could too. This is so tough for me since I have gained so much and am not working for two years almost. I am the type that needs to stay active and busy and all I have been is depressed for quite awhile now. Going to college for 1 1/2 years, graduating, and not being able to find work still makes it even worse for me. Need some guidance now please.....

    Welcome!

      Welcome. The MFP plan has been working for me. Fill out your profile accurately, log everything honestly, and follow the numbers. It has been working for me.

      Would gladly be friends, not sure how much guidance I can give but I could be a good cheerleader.

      This might be the best advice you'll ever get here on MFP. I've been here for two months and I'm halfway to my goal by just following this simple plan.

      HELLO & welcome :) I've only been here a few months but have found MFP very helpful. Feel free to add me or join a group, like the group that I'm in (for "50+ ladies" w/other ages also) - we're a friendly bunch :)

      Feel free to add me. The more the better. It's always great to have some on hand inspiration. Follow the plan and don't beat yourself up if you don't.

      Hey there!! I'm so proud of you for getting started on your new, fitter, healthier life! I've been using MFP for about 6 months and absolutely love it and rely on it to keep me accountable for my calories in/calories out. I now recommend it to all of my clients to help them keep themselves accountable! Please feel free to add me as a friend- I will try to help encourage you on your journey. :-) Suzanne

      You can add me as a friend. I am currently going back to college and also needing to lose a large amount of weight for health reasons. We can both uplift each other to lose weight and stay positive.

      Here are some useful site :)
      Healthy recipes: I upload them myself, this is how I lost 22 lbs in 4 months, instead of counting calories, I was eating healthy homemade foods + portion control :)
