Three years ago I lost 80 lbs. by putting God first, eating less, and execising. I recently finished LPN (nursing) school and during my journey in school I gained all my weight back. I am a stress eater, and I was not working, or being acitive. I hope to find encouragement here as well as encourage others. I also want to be held accountable and track my results.

    Step one: Forgive yourself. Step two: Log your food and exercise here and start perusing the forum. There's lots of encouragement and info.

    welcome to MFP! This is a great website/forum that will definitely help you to lose the weight! I have only been on here since the beginning of January and MFP has helped me lose just over 60 pounds! There are a lot of great articles and suggestions on here - so I would highly encourage you to go reading! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like the encouragement and accountability! Good Luck!

    Hi, I'm new here too. I have been playing around with the app on my phone for a good month or so before really putting some effort into this about a week ago. The combination of having the access on my phone as well as being able to sit down at the computer has been a tremendous help. I'd love to work with you on your journey. I'm currently working towards losing 50-60 lbs. (maybe more) and would love to have someone to help me be accountable as well. Having had a baby 5 months ago, this effort has so much more importance to me than it ever has. Want to work together?
