in Getting Started
Hi! I just joined myfitnesspal today, though I have been on my weight loss journey since January 1, 2015 (this year). I'm 34 years old and weight a whooping 314.4 lbs. My goal is to get to 140 lbs.

That's 175lbs I need to lose. I'm hoping to reach my goal in 2-3 years. So I need some friends that are in it for the long haul.

I already stopped eating fast food and drinking soda on Jan. 1. And I stopped eating sweets (which is painful) on Jan 5. My calories have dropped drastically, because sweets were my main food group. lol I know, terrible. So I struggle with cravings every day. But I'm determined and looking for support and people who I can support too.

Willpower is the best (even if it's a struggle). For me, I'm a person who has to cut cold turkey otherwise it won't happen. I don't like salty things, so I don't worry too much about chips and other stuff since I don't eat it.

So that's me. Want to be friends?

    I added you as a friend. Sweets and carbs are my downfall. Cold turkey is about the only way I can do it to.

    I would be happy to be a friend. I used to struggle with sugar and starchy carbs, but I've learned how to manage them through a balanced diet.

    I am addicted to sugar as well. I do have over 100 lbs to lose. I have been having some major problems with my stomach: gastritis, so I have been forced to cut out soda, green tea, alcohol and popcorn. Feel free to add me too.

    I'm a total SALT addict (mmm... cheese), so I understand food addictions and have added you as a friend!

    Technically, I have close to 100 lbs to lose, but am aiming for less since I'm 6' tall (to be in the BMI normal range, I should be about 180, but I'm going with 200 as a goal). When I was a kid, they told me I should be 155 because it was 5 lbs per inch over 5'. SO RIDICULOUS! Ugh. Anyway, let's motivate!

    I just started a few days ago with fitness pal , though my girlfriend and have been going to the gym about 3 months now. I have over 100 lbs. to lose...I started at about 316 and I am now 311 lbs. Carbs are my weakness so this app really helps. I am getting close to fifty years old and I don't get this under control, my health could really turn for the worse. So I would really like any help I could get. Add me , if you would like.

    Chris, I understand. I am just shy of 300 lbs. every time I go to the doctor a new health problem crops up. Need to make some serious changes.
