in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, long-time lurker, first-time poster :)

I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm so glad I've found MyFitnessPal.

After years and years of yo-yo dieting, I reached the highest weight I've ever been last month. At 25 years old and 5'5" I was 217 lbs, and suddenly realised that if I didn't start taking this seriously, I'd end up squandering the second half of my 20s just as I squandered the first half.

I'm also finishing university this year and really didn't want to go out into the real world looking and feeling as bad as I did.

A friend directed me towards MFP, and my eyes were opened to what I had been doing to myself. In two weeks, I've lost 8 lbs, left the 210s club, and feel like a new person. I still have a lot of work to do, but I know now that I will never go back to the way I was eating before I found MFP. The iPhone app is also a Godsend, and I use it every day when I'm out of the house.

All your success stories are a complete inspiration, and I'm looking forward to a long, happy, healthy relationship with MFP.
