in Introduce Yourself
Hello, everyone! I'm 5'4 and weigh wayyyyyy too much for my height. I need to lose about 120-130 pounds to be where I was when I was healthy in high school. I feel uncomfortable health wise and just need a lifestyle change. This is something that I understand will take a lot of time but I'm really bad at doing things by myself and I would love the extra support! We can all be support buddies!

    There's a great group called "Let's Lose 100+!".

    although my timeline does not show it (i began my journey a few months before I started tracking my wieght on MFP) i am almost down a hundred pounds from where I started. If I could do it i know that you can. This is a great site with constant encouragement. i do not have a large group of friends but it does keep you accountable for what you are doing. Congrat's on the decision to change your life.

    What Dan and Paula said...you would be welcome.

    Sounds like you have the right attitude. Slow, steady, and forever; THAT''s the way to do it.

    You have the power of youth on your side. Combine that with a modest calorie deficit and gentle daily exercixe like walking , and you will MELT AWAT before you know it.

    Good luck!

    Hi there and congrats for acting on living a healthy lifestyle. I just started tracking last week. This tool has helped in the past so decided to use it again. I am going to lose weight so that I'll be healthier and stronger when I turn 40 later this year. Please know that I'm rooting for you!

    Nice to meet you!

    I'm Meagen, 5'3", 70-80 pounds to lose, & am 23 years old. I currently weigh 213 and am looking at hitting 135-145 within the next year (hopefully). I could definitely use some more upbeat & my-age girlies on my news feed as well!

    Aside from the fitness/health side, I also rep the Geek Scene ~ Most of my time is taken up by League of Legends, Guild Wars 2, & beta testing. Wouldn't have it any other way. glasses I have an awesome supporters list going on right now, but I love meeting new people while motivating & supporting along the way ~ I know this can be a really tough journey!

    Anyone is free to add me (ladies only, please!) ~ Feel free to shoot me a line!
