New here!!

Hi! My name is Heather. I am a 35 y/o overnight nurse who gained weight with both my births, but never lost any weight after my second child. My doctor informed me that I am borderline hypertensive and need to lose weight. Two months ago I started working with a personal trainer and lost minimal weight. About three weeks ago a co-worker told me about MFP to help with my intake. I didn't really start using this site until a few days ago when I actually but inches on even with working out. I hope that this and working out will help me lose the weight needed.

Hi. I am Lynn and I am new here too. I heard about the site from a natural weight loss page in fb. I am a yo you weight person who generally gains in the summer and loses in the fall (I am a teacher and lose when I go back to work)... except I moved states and haven't worked steady for 2 years and the weight slowly krept up and didn't come off until I substituted for 2 months and started a 30 day exercise challenge to tone with my boyfriend (we are on day 11). I do not know my weight at this time, but I know my clothing size is almost back to all of my professional (and smallest) clothes - from 16 down to 12/10/8 depending upon the pants/skirt. I am worried about the summer and if I don't have a job, so I am trying this site to finish the rest of my weight loss and to keep it off hoping that with the help of technology and friends - I will hold myself more accountable. :flowerforyou:

I notice that I lose more weight when I work days. I normally work 7pm - 8am, then I sleep the majority of the day. I only work three days a week and always feel better when I have a long break from work.

Hi, I am Katie and relatively new as well. I am still trying to figure out the whole weight loss thing. I have always been on the heavy side. I gained weight while pregnant and never lost it. I was also recently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and take medication every day. The whole reason I have decided to loose weight is so I can hopefully get off the medication. I HATE taking pills everyday. I would love to be a friend so we can support each other through this journey.

:flowerforyou: Hi I'm new here today. Need to shed around 40lb. Been a yo yo dieter for last 10 years and so over it!!! Work from home on the computer and easy to pick. Need to get on track and cut out all the snacking.

Hi I'm Steve, coming up to 50 this year and decided it was time to get my weight down. I was weighing in at 265, when a co-worker recommended a weight loss clinic here in our home town of Hamilton, Ontario. I was told about MFP through the clinic as a way to track calories. I am happy to say that I have lost 20lbs already and working hard to get under 200lbs. Looking to chat with other trying to lose the same and maybe share some ideas.

Welcome!!

Hope you all find the same support & comradeship that myself & others have experienced.

I also have a crazy work schedule in which I don't have a set schedule. It can be challenging to fit in a workout. Perhaps we can motive and support each other.

Thank you. There are morning when I know I should go workout after work, and I just feel like gong home to sleep.

Hi! I am Aindrea and since turning 44 last month, the middle age spread has caught up with me. It is time for a change. My daughters were very active in sports and wished I had that dedication for my body. My sister and I joined MFP to encourage each other and make new friends. My schedule is pretty much eat, sleep, workout and study for my CAC (certified addiction counselor) III. I look forward to hearing from everyone.
