  • Feel free to add me. I have had success in the past and have been restarting (for a while now, lol). Trying to add some active folks to my list. It really helps to have people that feel your pain!
  • Wonder if a group was started after the original post in May? I also have similar stats as you guys and would like a few new friends (many on my current list have become "inactive"). I may be a little older than y'all, though. I'm 47. Would love for anyone needing friends with similar goals to add me. I'm 47, and 5'4".…
  • Me too!
  • Motivation and drive have been my biggest setbacks. Have been trying to find and keep the MOJO for some time now. Not getting with the program:( Need help from other struggling folks. Please add me if you'd like.
  • I am no where near my goal, yet. However, I am just now getting back into it after falling off the wagon (again). One thing I did that has kinda helped me, at least in my head is logging in EVERY DAY. I haven't done much good since about Thanksgiving, in fact I have gained some back. I just made sure that I logged in and…
  • Hi Judy, Today is my 275th day (I think it is). I'm down 40 lbs and am always open for new friends. I try to log consistently. I've hit a few walls through my journey, but I get back up, dust myself off and keep trudging on. I'm 20 lbs from my goal and plan on losing it by continuing to use mfp, its been the only success…
  • Sending friend request. I'm a little (well, alot) older than you, but I have had success here and know for a fact it CAN be done.
  • Gees, what a story!! I just don't know what to say... I wish you luck in your journey. Amazing story and I pray you reach your goal and get to have many healthier years ahead of you!
  • Add me, too. Love the extra support:)
  • I am totally on the thrift store band wagon. Congrats on you weight loss!
  • Bacon? Really? Me: I might occasionally sugar coat, but I can still tell it like it is I reckon... In my next life, I'm a photographer. I'm a 42 year old stay at home mom of 4, I call that work, too. I have been known to be a sarcastic smart *kitten* myself on occasion I'll bring your mind back to you if you'll do the same…

  • IMPRESSIVE! Your hard work sure paid off! Congratulations!
  • I have a couple of reasons for starting my journey (well, more than a couple, really) in the first place. My health and my sister's health. I am down close to 30 lbs and no one in my family gets to see me very often, so I thought they would have something to to say when I got to see them. No one said a word. My sister's…
  • I agree with the small steps theory. I am far from my goal, but this is the best site I have found to help me get there...once and for all. I have been where you are mentally. I never knew I needed a support system before, but my mfp friends have surely helped me. You need to know you ARE worth it. You can do it if you…
  • I feel for you. I am mom to four that are almost all teenagers now. It's been a while since those frustrating baby days of sleep deprivation and no one to help. I am sorry you are having a tough time of it. You have come to the right place for motivation and support. I don't have enough time to read everyone else's posts…

  • I don't have 100 pounds to lose, but when I started, I could probably total it at about 70. I lost some before I found mfp, and have lost 25 in the last 70 days. If you log, you will lose. The motivation you can find on this site is amazing. It's more do-able than you know. My next goal is another 25 pounds! I'm taking it…
  • A couple of catalysts occurred... my husband informed me that my dad had told him my face was "distorted" :'( That hurt... so i started my journey. Then, about a week or two into it, my mom, who is a TERRIBLE diabetic, in every sense of the word, fell and broke her good leg. Her "bad leg" has a condition called charcot…
  • I completely agree with everything FindingAmy77 said. I have not had this kind of success, for this long, since I just quit eating in my unwise teenage years. I too, eat pretty much what I want, but much, much less. It IS the small steps and keeping up with every bite (at least when you are starting out) definitely helps…

  • Awsome job! I hope to inspire someone someday as I'm sure you have so many!
  • Hello, I am also a stay at home mom. Hard to keep up, no doubt... trying, but could also use some motivational friends! :smile:
