    I don't necessarily love to cook, but I am serious about losing the weight. My lone cooking skill is part of how I gained weight (I love my Que). I'll send you a friend request.

    I don't have much time to cook but I am serious about losing weight. My problem is that I like the taste of food too much lol. If only I could quit eating, the way I quit smoking, it would be SO much easier. :) Feel free to add me

    Well, I have spent the last hour requesting everyone under the sun, but apparently my requests were never sent! I may be losing brain cells! I have been on "rations" for four days now and I am hoping I can stick this one out! I need to lose 60 lbs. (doctor's orders) because diabetes runs in my family. I am looking for all of the friends and support I can get! I'm 47 and somewhere around 34 or 35, I lost my body! Now, I want it back!!

    Add every, single person that replied here and keep an eye on your MY HOME page. When you see their "updates" like "she or he finished their diary" or "they logged in 30" times or whatever, talk to each and encourage them. That is how you make more friends:) Keep posting here too:)

    Hi...I've recently joined a group online through facebook. It's a group of women who are trying to eat (as)"Clean" as possible while reporting online to the group what their menu for each day looks like, exercising (sometimes together), and just being supportive for each other...oh and of course sharing recipe ideas!! We're also using this website to log all of our information, obviously. Maybe you can join this or another group like this..It's a lot of fun to see how one another is doing...

    I will add you I love to cook and I started making a cookbook. I try a new recipe every other night that is low cal. Like most people I grew up on meat and potatoes and I have to " re-learn" how to cook so I can cook for both health and comfort :heart: I normally post the recipie if its a good recipe. and anyone else who would like support feel free to add me :):bigsmile:

    You are not alone! There are lots of us out here. I joined 3 days ago but have been dieting for 2 months. This site is great!! I have been keeping the food tracker and it really works for me. So far my problem has been eating enough calories and I love to eat. I have been taking the Acai Berry supplements and it does take the edge off the hunger pangs. I started t he Raspberry Ketones also. Since I am alone most of the time I rely on Healthy Choice dinners and then add lots of salad and fresh veggies. So far I have lost 2 pant sizes (almost 3 - still a little tight) and 2 shirt sizes. Good luck.

    I could have written your post! I just started today, though I've lost 28 lbs on my own in the past 3 months. Cooking has been what made that possible - Indian cauliflower curry planned for tomorrow. I know I'm going to hit plateaus and will need support from friends to get through them. Feel free to add me.

    I too am looking to add people. I want to lose about 62 pounds. I lost 7 before MFP and have lost 8 since joining. 15 since the end of the school year (I am an ECSE teacher). I am proud of what I have lost, but need motivation to keep going! Oh, I love to cook, but not as much as I love baking! I have been attempting to modify some of my favorite recipies and finding new, healthier recipies to love. Feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:

    I am working on losing 85 pounds. You have made a wonderful choice for yourself. You know what you want and you are going to work to get it. Have you ever noticed that the things that we really want from life all seem to involve effort? Me too!

    Hope you enjoy MFP. This is a great website and the support is amazing. You will find what you need here. This is only my 3rd day and I love it! Take care of yourself. You can do this! :)

    You can add me. Normally I log in each day but during the week of July 4 I was on a nine day vacation to St Louis and this week I have been so sick. Do not feel alone on your journey.

    I LOVE to cook, and am always open to making new friends. I'm mostly paleo right now (breads, pastas & potatoes are not my friends :brokenheart: ) but I'm dairy friendly. Anywho, I'm willing to share recipes, and cooking techniques.

    Don't feel that you're alone. You're not.
    8 months ago I was 40 lbs heavier. Right now I'm plateau'ing... and I started out at 300 lbs so you know I've got a long way to go.
    You're welcome to add me.
    My form of exercise is to do aquafit (water aerobics). When there's no aquafit, I'll swim laps or go for walks. Gyms are something I really can't afford but I'm doing what I can.
