    Hello everyone!!
    My name is Meagan. When I started 2 weeks ago I was 291.6. I looked at the scale and realized it was time to get rid of this weight before it becomes too much to lose. :/ The first week I just did walking around my neighborhood trying to get used to the exercise again. I started walking on 4/10/16 after having a doctor tell me my BMI was 47 and that I was morbidly obese. From 4/10-4/30 I walked over 50 miles. I also have started doing Zumba at home which is actually not as bad as I thought it would be. I am 21 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I do not take pain killers. Since I started working out, I am in nowhere near the amount of pain I was in!! I am currently doing 58 minutes of Zumba per day now plus my normal everyday walking. I weighed myself 4/27 and am already down 7.2 pounds and 6 1/2 inches in my belly alone. I would love some people to talk to and share stories with so feel free to add me. :)

    My name is Misha and I started at 340 when I joined and am down 6. I have been heavy all of my adult life, and I'm tired of it. I've got about 180 to lose and I'm in it to win it, serious as a heart attack :) Please feel free to add me if I haven't added you first.

    Hey!
    I joined MFP about a year and a month ago, had a hella hard time for a while then hit it hard back in March. I had about 80lbs to lose and alot of health issues stacked against me. I'm doing well with it, feel free to add me. It's challenging and it's really hard to get discouraged and pissed off.
