Hi my name is Amy. I'm 23 years old...weight loss has been the 'burden' I was born with. I've been overweight my entire life, and started diets when I was in eighth grade. I haven't been my goal weight since middle school. If I lose ten pounds alone, I will be lighter than I was my freshman year of high school. I am finally extremely motivated, and would love any extra support!! I haven't taken enough advantage of this 'community'--and I promise to send encouraging thoughts and words your way, too. I refuse to give up this time!!!!

    Hi Amy,

    My name is Cece and i am 55,
    I will post a picture soon just joined lol!!! I am excited to get started with Myfitnesspal, I wrote down all the meals i was going to have for tomorro except for dinner and snack, I have an idea what i will have. I entered it in fitnesspal, have been over weight since i hit my 40s, I have been to Weight Watcher, tired of counting points, went to Jenny Craig tired of paying the money, this time i feel i am going to do it too, I am getting older and do not want Diabetes or etc because of weight issues, not good.

    I am anxious to get started pay no money for the site except for my own groceries what a deal its time i get control of my life.

    Looking forward in hearing how long you have been on the plan and etc.

    Cece

    Hi Cece, nice to meet you! Way to go, it's all about planning ahead. I love this 'diet' because it is FREE and you have complete control of what you eat! It's all about self-control. I know what you mean about Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc. I have been on those as well as LA weight loss, the adkins, etc. I'm sick of paying money for temporary fixes! This is all about a LIFESTYLE change!

    I joined this in January, but I haven't had much success until I took myself seriously two weeks ago. And now, I have been working out every day after work and planning my meals ahead!! It is AWESOME!

    You can totally do this! It's so simple, and just takes some belief in yourself (which I've finally gained)...I'll be here for encouragement...we can do this!!
