Hi! I'm Chandra, 35, and currently on maternity leave. I have a 3.5 year old daughter and a 9 month old son. Would love to be friends. I'm aiming to lose 15-20 more pounds. I'll send you a friend request :)

Hi everyone! Feel free to add me as well. I'm still trying to drop 10-15 pounds of baby weight (baby is now 16 months and these last 10 are stubborn!)

I hear you, emmiejo24! I keep getting told that I need to be more realistic with my weight goals because of having a baby and my age (I'm now 32, so almost the same age as you!). It's harder than I expected. I would love to be friends - I've sent you two messages by accident lol. Feel free to add me!

I'm also looking for some more friends - people who are on here frequently. Please add me too!

I'm also looking for new friends...most of mine have left! PLEASE ADD ME IF YOU WANT A NEW FRIEND

Got in two 5km runs so far. BUT I noticed yesterday that it was hard to walk - my right knee seems to be in some pain. Any ideas/suggestions? I am using a tensor right now and resting it until tomorrow.

Hi guys! My name is Chandra and I am new to the running challenge. I am not aiming for distance, but rather consistency. I want to do three to four 5km runs a week for the month of August. Logged in one 5km run today :)

Hi I'm Chandra! I'm 29 years old and live in the beautiful city of Montreal, Canada. I am aiming for consistency. I want to run 5km 3-4 times a week. This group looks like a fun way to reach new goals! :)

I also want to join these challenges but live in Canada. I'm finding not being able to participate or access them very frustrating...

I'm from Canada and work as an archaeologist :)

I spend my late fall through late spring at a desk researching, but I work outdoors in the summer. Would love to be your buddy and get in on all the advice and ideas :)

Hi Dani, welcome back!! Feel free to add me - I'm on here fairly often and would love to encourage you as you go. You got this! :)

I hear you! I have 10-15 more pounds to lose! Anyone on here can add me :) Would love to have more support!

27! Feel free to add me :)

Hi! I'd be happy to be friends! I'm on here daily (although quiet on weekends like you!) and usually comment. I'm not so great at criticizing things, I'm better at "YAY! go you!" kind of encouragement ;)

Hi! I'm 27 and have 10-15 pounds left to lose (I've lost 20 already). Feel free to add me!

this article is great! It's hard not to get caught up in the numbers. Thanks! :)

Congratulations!!! You look wonderful!

Hi Guys, feel free to add me too! Sometimes I go away for a month or so because of my job (I am an archaeologist), which prevents me from logging sometimes. I would love to encourage you all. Let's meet our goals this year!

I had the same problem, and once I started eating back my exercise calories, the weight flew off. It was a relief, and also nice to fit in some extra food ;)

You are an inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing your story :)

Feel free to add me!! I love to help keep people motivated :)

Welcome to MFP!! I think you'll find it easy to use and the community is great! Feel free to add me - I'd love to help cheer you on your journey!

You look AMAZING! Congratulations and good luck on the marathon :)

I think that it's a completely individual thing. If you find it discouraging, then you need to start weighing yourself only once a week. I think most people don't like the idea of daily weight checks because it can cause an obsession with a number rather than looking at other factors, like how your pants fit, or better…

This is me!!! Feel free to add me :)

I started in Feb and have lost 17 pounds so far! Feel free to add me, I would love to cheer you on!

You look AMAZING!!! well done and congratulations!!!

I'm 5'6 and currently JUST reached 145 from 162 :) . I'm aiming for 140, but ideally 135. Feel free to add me!

welcome to the site! I LOVE the app! It makes it too easy to stay on track because your phone is always on you, so there's no excuse for not logging. Feel free to add me if you like, I'm always around to cheer you on!
