Hello everyone!

My name is Mia. I'm not exactly what you'd call new, but I'm new to the forums and such. Up until recently, most of my MFP-ing has been on the iPod application, but I've recently fixed my computer and I'm more than ready for the whole experience. I'm 19 years old, living in the metro Detroit area [Michigan], and I've got quite a bit of weight to lose.

I've been pretty overweight most of my life, though I was a very active child. My current weight is around 250 pounds, and my long term goal is to be under 150, leaving me with 100+ pounds to lose. I'm kinda a dork (I like anime and manga) and one of my current motivators is an anime convention coming up this November. I'd like some people to help keep me going.

I've been barely taking this as seriously as I should, so I'm looking for some friends with similar interests and similar weigh loss goals to help keep me motivated. It's a plus if you're in the area. Feel free to friend me!

    Hey, my names Breanna

    And wheather you are a dork or not we all have the same goal, to get to a healthy and happy point with our weight.
    My startng weight was 225, and i couldnt believe my eyes when I seen that weight, seeing as it is the heaviest i have ever been!
    But in only 65 days I have lost 26 pounds and for the first time in my life, I actually found losing weight easy.

    I'm like everyone else, I have tried diets and they never lasted. But my fitness pal and the people have changed my views on healthy living. Using this site has made this change so easy. I dont deprive myself of anything but i hold myself accountable for all the sinful foods that I may eat.

    I'd love to hear from you during your journey and also be able to motivate one another. Also our goal weights are just about the same.. I would like to hit 150 and possibly lower.

    Add me if you'd like!
