in Introduce Yourself
Looking for like minded friends who are in for the long haul!
I started out weighing 275 and finally got the kick in the rear that my life needed a few weeks ago. I'm 30 years old, work in a desk job, like to get out and be active when I have time, and am not a huge health nut but am very knowledgeable and try to treat my body with respect. I limit myself to 1700 calories a day right now to keep things on a nice even pace and don't have a problem with splurging every so often as long as I fall under my calories burned for the day. I believe life is all about balance and try to avoid any extremes. I log into MFP at least once a day and always check in on the people I have friended so far. It is amazing what the encouragement of others can do for you. And it's always great to share ideas and recipes, too!

    Hi I am 27 and at 240 right now. I got a wake up call when my husband and I decided to have another baby and I realized that I was not in the right shape to have a baby right now. Looking for support along the way.

    Same boat, I'm working on losing about 90 and begin training today for a 5k in November. I had major surgery on my foot, ankle, and calf last November and want to close out the year on a high note. Anyone feel free to add me as well!

    When my wife left I was 380+ I hit the ground running and in a short time I dropped to 275 ... then I got complacent and lazy and went back up to 300 ... when I started MFP I was 296 and today I weighed in at 271.2 the least amount I have weighed in 10 years + .. my goal right now is to make it to 240 and then after that I'll try to reach 200 at that weight I should be a normal weight for my height.

    You can do it! after awhile the change becomes habit and habit becomes a lifestyle
    feel free to add me
    Best of luck
