in Introduce Yourself
I am absolutley thrilled about this website!!!! I have been a Weight Watchers member for three years and have seen some great results over that time. Recently I have had a difficult few months with my job and I have gained weight. And like many people I know, I can no longer afford to pay Weight Watchers to track on-line. A fellow member told me about this website and she is seeing some excellent results and is able to save money while doing it. Neeless to say, the scale scared me this morning and it was my wake up call to make a change! Finding out about this website is perfect timing.......as I am going to be a bridesmaid in October and need to look fabulous in my dress!

I know this is a slow journey, but I am really excited!

I'm happy to be part of this community!!

    Thank you both for the kind welcome!!! I'm really looking forward to the support from this community!!
    I'm also above my "happy range", and just feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I've been making excuses for the past few months, and I just need to smarten up and get back on track.

    I also need a good kick in the pants every once in a while to keep my focused on my goal too!!

    Hi Ella! I totally know how you feel. I put on 2 stone when I started the job I'm currently doing now (mainly because it's a desk job with the added "bonus" of international travel). The challenge is being able to stick to it and be consistent. I tend to be a feast of famine type of dieter which obviously doesn't work very well!!

    Thanks for the friend request and look forward to catching up on our progress soon :)

    Hey everyone! Just joined myfitnesspal, it is so easy to use!!! I am on my postpartum weight loss journey and plan on reaching my goal by my 30th birthday! 50 lbs to lose in 10 months - so not too crazy! I would love to be in a place where I feel comfortable in my own skin and build back my self-confidence. - Hard to do holding a full-time job as an RN, new mom to a wonderful 5 1/2 month old, and a military wife at that - so I am looking for support and encouragement on this journey. Good luck to everyone!

    Emilie, being consistent is the hardest part for me too. I do really well for months, then something throws me off track, I lose my footing and I can't find my way back again.
