30 and on a 60 lb journey

Arieslife88

Hi everyone, I just turned 30 in March. I have struggled with weight most of my life. I got down to 180-190 lbs and kept within 15 pounds of that from 2012-2014.

After a traumatic event, I gained about 30 pounds. Then a few more life tornados added another 25 pounds. I am now 250 lbs and at the heaviest I’ve been since college over ten years ago.

I would like to lose 60 pounds before my 31st birthday March 2019. I’ve done it by myself before but with a challenging job and a few new business ventures taking my time, I feel like I need some accountability.

I am open to being someone’s accountability buddy as well. I really want to make myself a priority and get my weight down. I think I am beautiful and intelligent and don’t hate myself. I just know that I could be more active and comfortable in my skin if I were to get the weight down.

Please feel free to say hello! Thank you for reading

Welcome,

I think these two links are extremely helpful and can help you get the most out of MFP:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These two posts completely changed my MFP experience and helped me be much more successful, so I hope they do the same for you.

For more friends you should check out these threads which ended up gaining alot of traction.
