I am starting up again. I did MFP for my wedding and ended up losing about 20 lbs and a few inches here and there in 3 months. Now I'm starting back up and need some friends. I have about 150 lbs to actually lose before hitting goal and would love to find some friends in the same boat. feel free to add me! :)

I understand it's really hard and believe me I've fallen off the wagon a few times! But if you'd like to be friends I'll send you a request. If anybody else is looking for cheerleaders (aka friends) please feel free to add me too! :flowerforyou:

yay I'm liking this thread. no offense to my other friends but most of them don't have as much weight to lose. It would be great to get some more friends in the same boat! Feel free to add me :)

OHHH yes please! Ever since my wedding at the end of June I have had no motivation and am starting to put the pounds back on :( I need all the help I can get!!

Hey everyone thank you a million times over for all the words of encouragement! I am not doing anything specific in my weight training. In fact, I am just using the arm and leg machines at my gym. When I began a few months back, I wasn't feeling anything in my arms because I had no back muscles! So it was a little painful…

hmmm pics not showing up...

20 LBS IS GREAT! I know it's been said before but just go to the store and pick up 2 10lb sacks of potatos and you'll see just how much 20lbs is. Also DO TAKE MEASUREMENTS! I have only lost 17lbs so far but I have lost 3" from my hips, 3" from my tummy and various inches from my legs, neck and arms. You're doing great…

Hello everyone :) My name is Melissa and I am an apple. lol it's a pain in the *kitten* to lose weight in my tummy. Oddly enough I'm starting to whittle it down but it's still hard! Finding a wedding dress was the hardest thing ever but I did and though it fits I'm really just trying to slim down as much as possible for…

That is freaking awesome. Thank you. I was getting a little sad about the scale but I'm getting measured tonight. Fingers Crossed!!!

it's small, but I was able to wear a shirt I haven't worn in over a year. I'd call that a success :)

I'm afraid I'm never going to get under 300 lbs. I'm afraid my weight is going to keep me from having children. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep going and that I'm going to fail at any moment. This is a really scary journey sometimes...

Keep up the awesome work. You can totally tell you've gone down. I REALLY see it in your face and around your belly. Don't get discouraged. You're doing great!! :drinker:

You know, it's amazing to me that this is an issue. I know many gay couples that have been together longer than married couples I know and yet, they've never had the right to be married. I am straight and am getting married this summer which I am just crazy happy about. How can we deny people happiness because we don't…

:flowerforyou: hey there! I am also looking for some motivation. I've been on here for awhile now and need some more motivation especially from brides! I'm getting married June 23 of this year!

You look so beautiful and happy! Good for you. You're an amazing inspiration for more people than you know!!

It is amazing! When I started a couple weeks ago it was like "oh god more water" but now I can drink a ton and my body is still like "umm I'm thirsty" I guess I really needed to change to water! I find that I'm craving less pop too which is really awesome. It really is the little things that count!! :drinker: (that's the…

THIS IS AMAZING! I am just 2 weeks in and down a couple of pounds. Seeing this makes me realize it's possible and that's what I need. Great job and I hope more people find you as motivating as I do!! :flowerforyou:

I've definately been wanting to try zumba but everytime I look in a class at my gym everyone is like 130 pounds or less lol so of course I'm super shy being like 3 of them! Maybe I need to look around more because that does sound like lots of fun :)
-
Hey everyone! I would totally love to do this. I'm looking for anything that will kick my butt into my wedding dress! COUNT ME IN!!
-
I got a watch as a gift and it didn't fit, so I went in to get an extra link added to it. The girl behind the counter was like "we don't have extra links because we make our watches to fit normal people." She's lucky I didn't follw her home lol
-
There's a few things I'm looking forward to! *Fitting into non plus size clothing *Finding a bra that doesn't roll up! *not needing a seatbelt extention to fly *going to see the Dr. and not having my weight be the main reason they say I'm not getting pregnant *Getting pregnant the list could go on and on but these are just…

hey starting over is nothing to be ashamed of. Today is day 2 of my starting over and though it's going to be tough the only thing I keep telling myself is "at least i've taken this step and i'm here" so kudos to you for getting back on!!! :) If you need a friend through the journey feel free to add me. Good luck and…

Hey there, so I'm going to be doing Atkins again. I did it in college and lost 30 lbs but then let college fun get the best of me. Now I'm getting married and need to lose a lot more than 30 lbs lol so I'm gonna rock the Atkins again, and this time my fiancee is along for the ride so I have a buddy. What I do need though…

I am a food addict too. I was trying HCG (I know enter the boo hiss here) and though I did alright for 2 weeks I realized that my social life revolves around food and drink, and no matter how much I crash diet, I need to actually learn MODERATION. I'm trying but man it's amazing how much power food has over me. It's almost…
