Hi! I've been using MFP mobile app for about a month, just recently stumbled onto the actual site and discovered the forum. It's so reassuring to find people who are on their own weight loss journeys. Yay for team spirit! :happy:

I've always been a chubby child who was comfortable in my own skin so when I became really overweight it didn't really faze me at all, sadly :embarassed: I just told myself that you make do with with what you got. I embraced my plus size body. I turned 27 and I had a bad scare with severe muscle spasms, the doctor said it came from being in a certain position for a long time...it's called the couch potato, lol. I then woke up to the reality that my health was not so great. I used to be on the go, even if I was on the heavier side but I've become sluggish and just sleepy most of the time...food coma right?! I also noticed that my skin condition was in bad shape, I was never acne-prone before. It really freaked me out and I decided that I did not want to become one of those people who succumb to health issues because of their bad diet. MFP has not only helped me count calories but it has made me take notice of what I am eating, it made me pay attention to the stuff I stuff myself with. :bigsmile: I feel more energized and even my skin improved.

:flowerforyou: Thanks to the creators of MFP :flowerforyou: and good luck to all of us.
