    Hello! I'm Rachel, 23 years old, and I'm from Missouri. My goals are to develop good eating habits, and make exercise part of my routine. I've been working the night shift as a nurse for the past 6 months and have gained a bit of weight since then that I would like to lose. :) looking forward to encouraging others and helping each other work towards our goals!

    Whats up MFP Forums!

    I'm Katelyn, 28 years old, 5'7" and happy to say now 248 lbs (only happy cause thats down from my all time highest of 298). It's took me years of on and off diet and exercise to get where I am now, but I'm feeling the most focused and ready I've ever been to start living a lifestyle instead of crash dieting.

    This time I'm 30lbs down, and have 50lbs to go before my wedding next May! Having friends is nice, so I'm posting on here. Would be awesome to talk to people who are in the same range as I am. Yay! :heart:

    Hey, 23 from Maryland. :)

    Never made a very serious long-term attempt at weight loss but now that I:

    a) am diabetic

    b) have pcos

    c) am getting dangerously close to 300 lbs, something I always told myself would NEVER happen to me....

    Something's got to give. Feel free to add me and talk to me any time. I don't have a great support system in real life so I would like to get that here! :smile:

    My name is Anel and I'm from South Africa.
    Never been the smallest kid but was quite active in high school. After school at university I lived of fast food and late nights. Made some life changes about 5 weeks ago and lost 6kg so far (13 pounds). I would like to lose 14kg more (30 pounds), then I will see how much more I want to lose to be happy. Taking it one day at a time. Not punishing myself but always trying to make the healthier choice. Still struggling with an exercise routine but trying to do weights a couple of times a week.

    Hi!

    I'm Archana, from India, currently living in UAE. I have 38 pounds so far and have about 88 lbs to go.

    I try to work out 5 days a week and eat clean. Would love more friends for motivation, inspiration and accountability. I have some fantastic friends from all over the world in MFP. If not for them, I'll still be wallowing in morbidly obese despair!

    Hi all, my name is Amelia. I'm 38. I haven't really struggled with my weight because I just didn't care tbh.... and now I have agreed to drop 4 dress sizes (about 20kgs) by april next year, I will admit I am struggling. The mindset of happily being a glutton is a difficult concept to undo. I love food. I love alot of food. However since joining mfp and the gym, I now also appreciate accountability and cheering squads so feel free to add me and enjoy your day!

    Hey guys!
    I'm 27 and from New Zealand. I've come back to MFP because I'm tired of always sabotaging myself after I've lost some weight. I'm ready to leave that negativity behind me and start this journey. I'm getting married next year and it's not just about fitting in the dress but about starting a life with someone and feeling good about myself now as well as being able to feel good in the future.
    :)
    I want to lose that last 10 kg! Let's do it together!

    Hiya! I'm Steph from Canada. I started working nights and it messed up my flow. I ended up gaining a ton of weight over the last couple of years. So now I'm looking to lose about 80lbs. I try to log every day as well as post status updates. I work out and lift weights, and I took my first kickboxing class last week.
    I don't think of this as a diet, more like a lifestyle choice. I still eat all the foods I love, but at a deficit and watch my macros closely.
    I'm looking for friends for mutual encouragement and to help keep each other on track. Yay!

    Why not! 7-12 pounds to go. Then on to start a very slow bulk.

    Hi All, I'm Natasha, 28 from England! I have a six year old son and have been trying to lose weight since giving birth in 2008!

    From 2010 - 2011 I lost most of the weight but over the past few months the pounds are creeping back on and so I have re-joined MFP to get back to my goal weight and maintain it :smile:

    Hoping to make lots of friends to share this rollercoaster with!!

    Woo! *comments* :P
    I'm Krissy, I have lost 80lbs so far and hope to lose another 59lbs at least, it honestly depends how I am when I get there because I've never been that me all, not even in my teens!
    My next goal is to lose another 4lbs getting myself to 195lbs and having a total of 6 stone lost :)

    I live in England and split my time between my home in Bedfordshire and my mothers in Manchester helping care for her.

    It's my goal to start joining exercise classes as well as gyms in both areas so I have no excuses! I would love to meet people local to either area who would like to accompany me too :)

    Your DP is so inspiring Krissy. Amazing job! Im on a bit of a flunk the past week and trying to figure out why... Posts like yours inspire me to keep going!
