Would Love to Find Some MFP Friends

in Motivation and Support
So, I'm starting over for the, well I've lost count actually, but that's okay! When I restart, I try not to dwell on "mistakes," but learn from where I could have done better. Since joining MFP earlier this year I've never taken advantage of finding friends on here and reaching out for support, besides a few message boards posts. I have about 25 pounds I'd like to lose, and I'm aiming for 1-1.5 lbs a week. I need to gain some of my self confidence back, feel healthier, and have more energy at work. I recently changed careers and went from a desk job to a vet assistant where I'm on my feet all day. I feel a stronger need than ever now to live a healthier lifestyle because it will also now benefit me at work. My pups also keep me busy and would love to extend our walks :)

    Feel free to add me :)
    I have been on this site for 680 days in a row. I log into MFP before email or FB. I haven't been as good about logging all my food lately but keep my weight close to where I should be.

    Good morning! Great first step to be active on MFP! I LOVE this site and I welcome the support of new friends. It always helps to share in the success of others and have others pick you up when you're having a tough time of it! Add me if you wish :)

    Beagles make great weight loss buddies! They'll NEVER turn down a walk (opportunity for sniffing).

    Then again, most dogs are great for this reason. Gotta love dogs!

    Hi! You are welcome to add me (so is anyone else on this thread looking for friends.) I am actually on my 2nd round with MFP. I logged for 200 straight days and then got side tracked. I am really looking forward to supporting others and feeling as motivated as I did on my first run. Looking to lose about 40 lbs. I think anything is possible with enough support! :flowerforyou:
