    Rcksiren21 or you can just call me Heather and i joined MFP after a recommendation from my coworker as a way to help keep me accountable. I have hit my highest weight and with old injuries acting up I was having trouble just standing up after an hour or 2 sitting at work. Currently I just want to get under 200 so a little over 60 lbs. Unfortunately July is not my favorite month I hate the heat and the bugs where I like to walk are crazy in July and August. Just looking for a bit of support since I don't really have any friends or family who are in the same boat.

    :ohwell:

    Hi, my name is Kelli. I joined MFP after a friend told me about it and how easy it was to track food, which I agree with. I am of course, like most people, here looking to lose weight. My weight has been up and down and up and down for the last several years. Really want to stick with the down part. Haha. Hoping to get some support and motivation from others.

    What motivates me is my son and my desire to feel healthier. I want to feel comfortable with myself again. I also want to learn better eating habits.

    What I like most about July is it brings me that much closer to football season starting! :-)

    Looking forward to connecting with you all.

    Hey everyone, I am Cathy. I am on mfp because it's a great way to track food intake and activity, which helps me to stay on track for my weight loss journey. I am motivated by health and my family. I want to lose 25 pounds by December, not just to look good but also feel good. I need to leave my sedentary lifestyle behind.
    I am not a huge fan of July tbh other than the time off from work, I prefer colder weather. Can't wait till October!

    I am Rebecca and joined MFP to keep a close, accurate eye on the nutrients I take in.
    I am a marathoner, who suffers from major depression, anxiety, PTSD, and Agoraphobia.
    My two main goals is to make sure I'm getting ALL my daily nutrients and strength training every day to pack on some muscle. I am a twig and I just FEEL unhealthy. My therapist suggested I get Ensure so I can make sure I'm getting enough. I don't want to do that. Its a cop-out. I need to feed myself healthy, nutritious food.

    I know a lot of you can relate to my depression, anxiety and PTSD. Some of you may even relate to my Agoraphobia. I am here to show my depression that it doesn't get control me anymore. Hard to do, huh? But not impossible.

    Hello! I know its a little late in July, and I probably could have waited until August for roll call, but I just thought I would start now, or else I never would.
    My name is Kim and I've been on MFP for quite a while, but I've struggled with losing and gaining weight over and over again each year, which is why I decided to join this group to have others hold me accountable. Typically, I am motivated by the want to be healthy, and like a few others have said...I WANT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN MY SKINNY CLOTHES!!! And finally, my favorite thing about July is the beach, but unfortunately my weight is discouraging me from going :(
