Hey, I just started using MFP on Saturday and I already love it. I have used another calorie counter/tracker app before, but I am liking the MFP waaaay more!

I am a 31 year old married mother of one and I'm a nurse.

I have attempted diets before and have even contemplated surgery (gastric bypass). I always lose really good for the first 2 or 3 months, then I fall off the wagon, so hopefully through this forum and the MFP app helping me track everything I can stay on the wagon this time!

Feel free to add me as a friend and we can support each other with our journeys!

    welcome...I too had over 200 pounds to lose. Keep trying and don't get discourged if you fall off...everyone does just get back to it. Its not a race... its for the rest of your life (at least thats what I have been telling myself)

    Good for you! I have seen so many success stories on here! I think it will really help you. I don't really have much to lose, so I don't know if you want to add me, but I'm always around to comment and encourage, so if you want you can add me!:flowerforyou:

    Welcome! I've only been here less than a month, but the stories I read and forums I follow keep me really motivated to continue to make changes I can maintain for the rest of my life.

    Good luck!

    Welcome to MFP. I just joined about 2 weeks ago. I love this site too. I found the App first and now I am checking out the website for the first time. Like you I needed to lose about 150lbs. To date I have lost 80lbs and have stalled there. I need all the help I can use as well. If you want we could become pals and lose together. It's up to you.

    Wow! You are some friendly folks! I have joined other weight loss message boards and they were all kinda clique-ish. Glad to see yall aren't like that!

    I have been looking at some before and after pics and some of you are doing awesome! Keep up the good work and lets do this together!
