i gained almost 40 pounds when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer at 3 months old. Being in the hospital so much and being depressed aided in that weight gain. My daughter is fighting so hard to live I need to fight hard to take care of myself too. So I downloaded this app my phone and I want to lose the weight. I'd like to make a friend to help keep me in the right path and vice versa. Good luck everyone.

    I've only really discovered the online side to MFP this week having been using it on my phone for the past couple of months so I can speak from experience when I say that if you make sure you're honest with it, it will work. Though it is sad of the circumstances but I hope that you two are fighting fit and healthy together in no time.
    The huuugest of best luck wishes to you :) x

    This is a wonderful site! Lots of support. Be honest with yourself in logging and you will do well!
  • It is amazing how many people are so supportive on here. I have really gotten encouragement from a lot of people to keep me motivated. I had tried the site once before but got sidetracked and stop logging on but now I have great people on here that are keeping going and I am really enjoying everything. Plus is a way to express yourself when you need to and have someone be there to comfort you when you need it. The people on here are great!

    Thank you. Already I've made a few friends and people are supportive. I really think this site is going to be a good fit. I feels like a brand new start. I can't wait to shed the pounds :-).
