Excuse the title, but does anyone want a MFP buddy (I promise I won't call you names!) would just be nice to find someone on a similar journey who can really understand how this feels.

32, 17st 11lb starting, trying to get healthier for my daughter and TTC No 2.

I'll be your fat friend! I can barely move today for the back pain (fat pain) at work munching my carrots and feeling sad and want crisps!
I'll add you I'm derpink. Let's do this impossible thing!

@Spongeface I found you! I'm 32 also but 17st 5!! I'm a bit taller which helps but still massively overweight Sad into my second week using mfp and lost 5.5 last week! What are you doing?

Don't let my ridiculous skinny photo put you off- that is a target photo!
It's all a bloody battle and I am struggling so much on day two! You have done so well so far that's great! Keep each other going.
I am trying to stick to mfp impossible target of 1200..... I hate them already. Already shocked at how much is in fruit! Cutting down from .... A lot of crisps, toast, cheese... Basically beige. And vodka....
Very annoyed I haven't lost yet!

Hi, Ive just set up a new account on mfp so looking for some friends too, my username is Attempt999 feel free to add me.

I'm 31 and have 3-4 stone to shift.

Can I add you too? I'm 120 kilos, 5ft 6 and recovering from DD's birth. Would like to try for another in the next two years but not at my current weight.

I'm a bit bad at keeping up with the diary entry on MFP though and will be sticking to roughly 1500 calories a day.

I wouldn't mind a fat buddy.. Been trying to lose weight all year. 30 years old. I was doing so well earlier in the year, even lost almost stone. Got pregnant but had a miscarriage in June at 12 weeks. I've been trying to get back on the 1200 a day calories by eating rabbit food ever since, but keep putting it off. Would absolutely love to lose 5-7 stones. 😔

Happy to join in - looking to lose 4 stone for fertility (and health) reasons too.
