Well, I'm 29yrs old and 230 (I weighed in today) I'm hoping those 2 new pds are muscle from playing softball... Anywho, my goal is to lose 40 pounds and then re-evaluate and make a new goal. I'm trying to continue to encourage myself to continue with exercise and make better food choices. For those of you losing weight, you're already inspiring me!!!!!

    I joined in July and have been trying to figure this site out. Welcome to all of you and thank you to all of you who share your stories. Did anyone see on the news a study about online weight loss communities. It seems that a higher percent of people keep their weight off if they interact regulary with an online site like this one. I like logging my food and excercise. I also made www.myfitnesspal.com my home page, so that when I log on for any reason the first reminder is to track my food.

    So far since I've started a meal replacement plan and a rigorous exercise routine I have lost over 10 pounds! We can do it!

    Hi I started MFP July 27. I first found this site on my Motorola Droid phone because I thought how convenient it would be to track nutritional info there. July 8 was my last weigh in at my doctors and I too weighed in at 230(age 34, 5"7"), my heaviest ever. I am waiting to weigh myself at my upcoming doctors appointment this tuesday so I can't share my weight loss since I started MFP, but I have been lurking the message boards and have found them very motivating and I have learned a lot. Good Luck to you! :)
