Ok, so I thought I would post a little bit about why I'm on MFP!
In March of 2010 the company I worked for had a "Biggest Loser" competition, both for individuals and teams. I competed (I'm highly motivated by cash prizes). I lost 63lbs, winning the individual prize and helping my team win the team prize! I was so proud and was ready to keep it going.
Here came July of this year and started feeling my clothes getting tight. I had gained back almost 15lbs.... Going the wrong way, I found MFP and got back on track!
03/08/2010 374lbs Highest Weight
06/25/2010 311lbs Lowest Weight
07/25/2011 325lbs Starting MFP Weight
08/20/2011 315lbs Current Weight
Thanks again to all my MFP buddies! 265 HERE I COME!!!!

Welcome to MFP! I love this site, it is great for ideas and encouragement. I recently lost 40 pounds but have kinda hit a wall the last month or so. Friend me if you like, we could help push each other.0
