Hi everyone, I'm looking for an accountability buddy. I'm Sophie, a 27yr old doctor. My job makes me physically and emotionally exhausted and I'm finding it hard to concentrate on my (incredibly unhealthy) eating. I'm constantly telling people they should lose weight and the methods of how to do it... I wish I could listen…

Looking for some news friends on here, I've got lots to lose! Please add me :)

Me three, lets do this

Purple Fire! Not bad, I think I could go kick some bad guy butt with a name like that.

I'm 25, add me :) Lets do this!!

I'm 25, feel free to add me :)

I love that! It makes it seem so much more manageable, thanks!

Hi fellow nerds, I'm 25, medical student, all-round nerd who loves getting obsessive about things and i have 100lbs to lose. Would love some buddies on MFP to help keep me motivated, feel free to add me :) Samphire xx

Oh my god, your name is Pusheen the Cat. Can we be best friends please?

I saw a picture of myself just before I was diagnosed with graves and I barely look like the same person - Thin (my version of thin!), I have a small unobvious goitre, huge bags under my eyes, and my hair is so thick and wiry. However bad I feel about having gained all this weight...and I do feel absolutely TERRIBLE about…

I had the same problem with the medication - my endocrinologist kept putting back my appointment for months and months, so I ended up being on a higher dose of carbimazole than necessary for 8 months - In this time I dieted and exercised (as much as I could because I was absolutely exhausted) and was still gaining 3lbs per…

(sorry - accidental post)

I live in Leamington! :)

I got 34 :( Binging and fasting continuously.

Med student in England :)

I'm starting again too. Lost 42lbs in 2012 and then gained 80lbs in 2013. Worst year of my life. It just seems like an impossible feat to get this weight off, but I know its manageable. Got to stay focussed!!

Laura, I can only imagine how difficult that must have been having 3 miscarriages. However, I do know how difficult it is to lose weight when you suffer from anxiety and depression, but you - we - can do this. I'm just starting on my weight loss journey - I've lost and gained weight repetitively for the last 6 years, and I…

That is awesome, well done :)

Its so hard to face our addiction every single day. It's all about finding ways to maintain control - and having a therapist is probably an excellent way forward for that. Thank you for sharing. BED and self-loathing can effect everyone, no matter what their gender. Lets get through this together :)

Hi everyone! I'm Sophie, I'm 24, single and a medical student. I'm excellent at losing weight once I start, but my problem is actually kick starting the healthy eating and then keeping the weight off. This time last year I was 150lbs and now I'm 232lbs! I want to get back to a healthy weight so I can be more comfortable in…

I didn't realise it either, this is exactly what I do as well. Sweets-->chocolate-->salty foods--> bread-->sweets etc. On a normal day I can easily consume 2000-3000 calories of sugary foods on top of 3 very large meals. On a bad day....I don't even know what I eat....anything I can get my hands on. For the past 8 years,…

I'd like to join please, I've got 100lbs to lose!! Samphires

This is my first day, add me and be my first MFP friend. We can do this together!!

Hi Victoria, II'm in a similar situation - 24yrs old, new to MFP and I'm currently 232. I'm looking to make a lifestyle change, and 2014 feels like the year for change. We can do it!!

I'm new here as well, I'm hoping the community can help me lose the 100+ pounds I need to shift.
