in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I'm new to the community. Although not to MFP. But I have been on my weight loss journey for quite some time and it would be nice to have some motivating friends to get me through this last 20 lbs! I'm down over 100 lbs and we all know that last 20 can be tough! So any help or advice is welcome!

    Thank you so much! At 6'2 I'm sure you don't have too much to lose, but you got this! It's just the beginning, but if I can do it, you can do it! I'm 5' tall and weighed more than you when I started! Ugh! Looking back, I'm so happy I didn't quit.

    I would love to help and motivate you in any way I can! We're all in this together! Feel free to reach out for any advice or tips your looking for. Just remember that losing weight is not a " one size fits all", kind of thing. You have to do what works best for your body, and that may take trying out some new and different things. Good luck! You can do it!

    Wow! Congrats to you as well! Such a huge accomplishment. Can't wait until I'm at the maintenance phase, but I know it will have It's own challenges for sure. Keep up the great work! You look fantastic!

    Congrats! That’s incredible. I’m done about 50lb. I’ve been working on losing weight for a long time. The problem is that it didn’t take over night to put it on. Just have to two twice as hard but it’s worth it and keep up the great work!

    Always accepting friends!
