Hi all! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Anita and I'm 24 living in Los Angeles. A friend of mine told me about this website and I was hesitant at first. I thought it was just another calorie counter, but when I actually signed up and looked into it, I fell in love.
I've been overweight my whole life, and I've been lucky enough not to have any health problems yet, despite the fact that every illness under the sun runs in my family. I realized that I don't want to push my luck any further. My friend got me excited about working out and losing weight a month or two back and with her help, only a week into using MFP I've already managed to lose some weight. So now I'm REALLY excited about this all and reading all of your amazingly inspiration success sotires has got me looking forward to the rest of my journey!

Welcome to MFP. I've been using MFP for about 22 days now and absolutely love it. It is a motivation beyond all others. I've been exercising since Sept 2010. I realized finally that my father (62), brother (42), and myself (39) all shared the same cardiologist. I thought to myself, this has to stop. My father passed away at 61, my brother passed away at 39. I was scared. So far i have lost a total of 40pounds and feel like a new person!
Good luck on your journey. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want. Again, welcome and Good luck to you.
