Looking to lose weight on the cheap
Hello all! I guess this is the part where I introduce myself. My name is Nancy. Growing up, I never had to worry too much about my weight (was never super skinny, but was always at a healthy weight). Then I graduated college and got one of those super-fun desk jobs. Before I knew it the inactive lifestyle was catching up…

HI TO EVERYBODY
HI, I DECIDED TO JOIN HERE AFTER I SAW THE SCALE SHOWING LITTLE LESS THAN 100KG. ALL MY LIFE I WAS AROUND 75-80KG AND THE 97KG ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME. THE BAD THING ABOUT ME IS THAT I USUALLY EAT FOR PLEASURE AND NOT BECAUSE I’M HUNGRY. ANY WAY, WE’LL SEE HOW WILL GO.:smile:

Stuck
I have been on MFP for a few months now, and I started off great. I lost 23 lbs the first 2 months. My problem is, I'm stuck there.

Where to begin?
I feel like I should be standing in front of a group of people and announcing my name and stating that I am a food-a-holic. The only problem is that I don't love food all that much, I just hate exercise, really. So, if you would be so inclined as to help me by sending me a friend request, I would really appreciate it. I…
