Already in need of new friends
I feel like i've already seen a decline in friends posting since I added them on the 1st of the year. Friends constantly posting their food diaries and daily struggles/achievements is part of what keeps me on track every day. So I need some new friends. I'm 25 from Grand Rapids, MI. About 40 pounds lost so far and still…

Not new but returning after a few years.
Many moons ago I was very active on this site and managed to lose over 60 pounds within a year. I attribute part of that success to the friends I had on here who inspired me and kept me motivated. Now that it's been a few years I gained about 20 pounds back and lost the majority of my friends who used this site. Now I'm…

attempt number two
i've actually been around for years now. i started using mfp back in 2011 and made great friends who motivated me to lose over 55 pounds. i was going strong and felt like it was impossible to ever go back to my old lifestyle. at the beginning of last year i went through a bad breakup with my now ex-fiance. i was depressed…

i feel like drawing.
so this is how bored i am. give me a silly or random idea to draw. for instance. i just drew a cat in space for a friend of mine. and i will draw it on my ipood and post it here. they take some time to draw because artistic genius cannot be rushed. so post a silly topic and if i like it, i'll draw it :)

please tell me i'm not the only one.
i really want to move out of the country before the government takes away all of my rights completely. with all of the new laws being passed to censor people's opinions in the media, increasing the taxes, and rick perry trying to run for president, i want to get out asap. people think i'm joking but i just have this…

four years ago my grandma got me two pairs of warm pajama pants for christmas. the red ones fit well but the blue ones were too snug so they went into my drawer. every christmas since then i've worn the red pair on christmas morning. this fall i started my weight loss journey and although the red pair still fit nicely, i'm…

how do you change the world?
okay - pretend you're god (and if you're an athiest, pretend god exists). you get one minute to speak to every single person in the world inside their heads simultaneously. what would you say?

so i've decided
if by some insane change of events, Rick Perry gets elected for president, I'm moving out of the country. anybody in England or Canada want to open their home for a few weeks for my boyfriend and I to stay until we find our own place? but srsly - rick perry needs to get stoned ... in the biblical sense.

what is...
what is the one thing you want to see under your christmas tree more than anything this year? i'm curious what all of you guys really yearn for on the holidays. personally i want a silver locket and a life size cardboard cutout of the tardis from doctor who. :) oh and feel free to add me; i enjoy new friends.

baby names
first off - no i'm not pregnant. i just think that hearing people's different ideas for children's names is fun and i'm sure i'm not the only one who likes sharing mine. so i'd like to hear your future ones or if you have kids currently. i like slightly different names that aren't often heard so what names do you have…

two dinners
So generally I wake up in the early afternoon and whatever I eat before work I log as lunch because I don't have a lot of breakfast foods. Today I went out and bought actual breakfast food for tomorrow but that's a different story. The thing is, because I sleep so late I technically have two dinners. I have the lunch when…

Not new but need new friends
Hello – I really want some new friends for more than just support on weight loss. My ‘best friend’ decided I’m not worth her time anymore now that she’s moving in with her boyfriend and I don’t really have many other friends. I’m hoping to be friends with someone around my age (20) who has some of the same interests as me.…

What do you listen to?
When I exercise I've found myself listening to the same album each time; Florence and the Machine - Lungs. Florence's voice is just really empowering throughout the whole album and the fast beat is really good to follow along when on the treadmill. So what's your go-to music for exercising and why? And as always - feel…
