Looking For a Support System

Hi everyone! I've been using MFP for a little over 3 months (this time around). This is the second time I've lost serious weight with the site. I've replied to several posts where other women were looking for a serious support system and have only found one person that is actually practicing what she preaches. I'm looking for female friends who are serious about their weight loss efforts and plan on using the site long term. I've found that MFP is much more enjoyable (less boring anyway) when I'm not going through the motions alone. Please add me if you like! :)

    I am new to the MFP site. I am taking a little block of time for the next few days trying to learn the site. I have friends supporting me with the weight loss but none of them have as much to lose and I do and none of them are much into computer forums.
    I am determined to lose the weight and keep it off this time.

    Hello, I'm very new just started this past Sunday and so far seems pretty good! I like many others have done all diets seems like you lose fast at first and then it just stops, I hope that keeping track & seeing what i'm eating will work for me. I am planning on doing this and being dedicated and just like you I can use some support as well!

    Well, one thing about it is that MFP helps you to make friends all over the world. :) If someone becomes a hinderance you can always DELETE them without having to worry about hurting their feelings. lol. I don't do well dieting with local friends either. It seems that they always want you to hold their hand every second of every day or they want you to do it for them, which isn't possible. I hope you find new friends here. MFP users don't seem to be the type to need their hands held or for others to do it for them. :) Add me if you like.

    Im on Day 8 here and seriously motivated for health reasons and have hit my first goal already I track everything I watch what I eat and I do as much excersies as my heart will allow me. I find the forums and support here to be wonderful and I love having the ap on my phone so its easier to track everything im doing and eating. If anyone would like to add me I am commenting and cheering you on and support every effort you make to get healthier.

    Hello! I've been using MFP for several months now. I was a bit remiss after being on vacation but I'm trying to get back into it and reach my goal. I'm definitely interested in being a support - I think I need it this time around too. I find it easier if I have someone to talk to about it, push me and me push them and help you keep going on the days when you're like uuugh I soooo don't feel like working out today. I'm hoping to reach my goal before the end of September and then continue with the site to help me maintain and track my eating and make sure i'm not creeping back up. Definitely add me if you're interested in supporting/partnering up :).

    Um....YES!!! I practice what I preach! I am close to where I want to be and continue to kick butt! I watch ever morsel that goes in my mouth and I exercise DAILY! I encourage my pals to do the same if they want results. I also think having an open diary is the way to keep it real. People who don't are only lying to themselves. I log everything, good or bad, although there is rarely bad.

    I will say that the last few days, I have been going through some emotional things, so I am forcing myself to stick with both plans, but doing it none the less. Feel free to add.

    Please send message with request. :)

    HI I'm new to the whole mfp thing.... what parameters do you have to set for an "open diary"? I think that would be good for me. -j

    Hi!! I've been on MFP for about a month but finally got to my "onboard" day about 2 weeks ago. I have a long journey ahead and I have to be proactive and practice what I preach; failure can't be an option!!

    I haven't started exercising yet but I need to make sure I understand what a healthy eating plan is day in and day out. But exercising is the goal of August!

    Would love to add as many people as possible to my friend list!

    I am also new here (1st time) - I just joined yesterday and am also interested in creating a support system. I have 145 pounds to lose - that will get me down to my skinny-me pre-pregnancy size that I have only dreamt about for the last 13 years. I feel like this time around, it's really gonna happen. I used to smoke, and after several quit attempts, woke up one morning (5/22/11) & just knew I was never going to smoke again, and I haven't. I have that same feeling this time, with my weight-loss plan.

    If anybody who is serious about their journey and uses this site regularly would like to add me, please do! :)

    I'm a serious MFP user. I shed 70 lbs the first year. It works with support of great people like you! We went to Disney 2 months ago and for some reason I have struggled to get things under control since. Never stopped exercising, but I also didn't stop indulging which resulted in +20lbs. I feel gross and unhappy. I am committed to getting these lbs off again and continuing towards my goal.

    Looking forwad to getting to know all of you!
