Hi,
My name is Heidi and this time around I have been on MFP about a week now. I love being very active here, on the message board and on my friends pages and my own page! I am looking for friends who are also very active! I already have a few friends like this but could use bunches more because for as much as I am on here, I often have already read what's on my feed and have to keep refreshing the page for something new. Maybe I'm a bit of a loser? LOL It keeps me entertained and excited about losing weight, and helps distract me from eating junk food! Lol. Anyway, here's a little about me incase you want to know!

I am 24 years old. A lot of my activity comes from chasing around a 2 (going on 12) year old that I watch most days of the week. For awhile, she was the only thing keeping me from being a complete couch potato (even though I still am most of the time lol). I have an injury that prevents me from doing a lot of strength training and a lot of other exercises. I am also extremely out of shape but I am trying to fix that by slowly adding exercise. I eat "normal" food. I don't have a lot of money due to my injury - I'm not currently working. I am trying to eat a lot healthier, but I don't think there's anything wrong with burger and fries sometimes as long as I keep it under control. I try to eat a lot of vegetables. One of my favorite things to eat is string beans with apple cider vinegar.

I have a lot of weight to lose. I have been severely overweight almost my entire life. I don't remember being under 230 pounds. I believe it was 10 years ago when I was 230 pounds, I reached it via diet and extreme exercise. I can't go "extreme" this time, and I don't want to diet. I am changing myself for life. I have other health problems too (extremely high cholesterol, and non - alcoholic fatty liver disease are the most serious) that directly relate to my weight. I NEED to change or I don't think I will be here another 24 years.

If you would like to be friends, please send me a request. I don't care if you have a lot to lose, a little, are concentrating on gaining or maintaining. I will support you and hope you will support me on my journey too!

Thanks!
-Heidi

    I check in daily and am on the boards every other day probably. It helps me to stay motivated as well. Send me a request! Or I'll find you too! You have made a great first step and you are being realistic which is very smart. Take small steps and make small changes, they will add up to big ones over the long haul. It's about creating better habits for yourself. Good job doing it at a young age. I am in my thirties making changes and I'm doing well with the help of MFP, though I wish I had made the changes sooner in my life. Let's do this!!!

    I'm active every day (sometimes I fall into a rut and disappear for a few days though, but that's becoming less and less often.) I would LOVE to have more friends on here. I weigh 260 and I have been overweight a large portion of my life as well. I also have an older brother and sister - and if you don't mind my saying, I think you look VERY pretty in your profile picture!

    Hi I'm crazy active here. I used to post to 10-20 threads a day. Nowadays I'm trying to shift to posting directly to people on my friends list. I eat normal food. I drink. I go over on my calories some days, but I accurately log my food 5-7 days a week (with a food scale). I do my best to estimate on the weekends.

    I am on MFP every day. I let 25 pounds do a stealth attack on my body over several years by my refusal to get on a scale, I only have a few more stubborn pounds to lose, but I will stay on just make certain I never find those pounds again. So if you wish you can add me as a friend.

    I agree cookeylady. I joined MFP 10 days ago and I too have become obcessed with it. It helps me a lot to track my caloric intake. I started a lifestyle cgange about 5 or 6 weeks ago and have managed to drop about 13 pounds. I could sure use some MFP friends for moral support and for tip trading.

    Hi everyone, I logged into this account ages ago and then let it slip. Back on track again now for the last 4 days. I'm looking to lose 35 kilos or 77 lbs in total so I have a lot to lose as you can see!

    As further motivation I would love to meet some friends on here in a similar situation but also some Australian users as our food seems to be slightly different to US users and I don't always know what they are? This would greatly help me when looking at food diaries to get some new ideas of what to eat and the amounts etc.

    I'm currently following the principal of 5:2 diet which is eating fairly normal for 5 days of the week and then on the other 2 cutting your calories to 500 for the day to shock the body. I have found this reasonable to do and stops anything being forbidden.

    I am of course still being aware of sugar and fats as I have type 2 diabetes and would like to get off medication and look after myself through good eating and a healthy lifestyle.

    So come on fellow Aussies, let me share your diary if you don't mind, and of course I welcome everyone for support!

    cheers
