Hi everyone,
I'm Jennifer. This is my first time ever using a site like this. I have gained about 80 pounds during my past two years of college. seeing 200 lbs on the scale was a wake up call, but now that i'm up to almost 240 im desperate to change. If I can get to the point where my thighs don't rub I'll be one happy camper.I'm 5'8" and would LOVE to get back to the healthy 160lbs i was in HS. Im anxious to start this plan and I hope, and pray that it works for me. One of my friends whom i go to school with shared this site with me, she's had GREAT results.

(:

    Hi Everyone, My name is Susan and I just joined today...looking forward to continuing my weight loss journey on this site. I just left a well know weight loss community and had lost 25 pounds! I am hoping to lose some more. I don't want to say exactly how much as I am afraid that I will jinx it lol

    For anyone else joining, best of luck to you! Lets enjoy this journey together!

    Welcome to MFP! If you're ready to make the change, then it will go your way. I would say, don't HOPE it works, MAKE it work. Any time you are confused, or have a question, don't hesitate to ask, or search for the answer, it's likely already out there. Watch your calories very carefully, and be honest with the diary. You CAN do this! :)
