in Introduce Yourself
Just starting out with My Fitness Pal. Hoping this will be the beginning of a good solid weight loss for me. I've done other diets in the past with minimal success but have found it hard to stick with it.

This time I really need to make this work! I have two young daughters and I owe it to them to be the best version of myself. I also work in nursing and feel like I make my job a lot more difficult by being overweight. Being on my feet all day wouldn't be so rough if I could shed the extra weight.
I am starting at about 310ish and hoping to make it down to the 175ish range. It's been a long time since I've seen that weight but I'm hoping to get back to it.

Feel free to add me as a friend if you need a buddy! :)

    Good luck and you can do it. It's not easy but it's worth it. It seems nice to be able to get down on the floor and play with the grandkids. I am on my way to the 180s from 333. Lost 70 so far.

    Hi! Im starting over too. I'm around 240ish right now, my short term goal is 200, but I too am looking forward to seeing 150-170 on the scale again. It's been almost 8 years since I've seen those numbers and 6 since I've seen anything under 200. I have two kids under 3 and know exactly how you feel about wanting to be everything you can for them! Good luck, add me if you need a buddy. :)
