Hey everyone! although i downloaded the app and made an account months ago, Ive decided the time to start is now! Actually today is my "Day 1"....

My name is Crystal and im 22 I currently live in Greenville NC. I just recently graduated from college and we all know the weight college can put on someone. Between time management and stress I gained a few pounds over the last four years that I am just not comfortable with carrying around. I am hoping that this site is just what I need to get a jumpstart on losing it.

I made a vow to myself that if i can get on the computer and check Facebook, Twitter etc. daily I can get on MFP and count my calories daily. To get a hang of things I want to focus on my nutrition for the first month or so and then add in exercise.

Overall I just want to focus on my health, which is something that was ignored during college. I also want to lose weight for next summer to fee comfortable and confident in a bikini!

Hope to connect with wonderful people through MFP to inspire me and keep me motivated!

:) see ya soon

    Welcome and I am sure you will get the hang of this and have much success in our quest to lose weight and just be healthy! Yes, I know how stressful life can be with college. I just went back to school after about 19 years and obtained my BS degree. I did it online because with full time work and other obligations, I could not find the time to sit in a traditional classroom. I was able to finish in 15 months and of course had the extra weight to go with it. I joined MFP in July and have not regretted it one day. I love it:love: . If you have a smartphone, add it as an app, so you can log on when you can't get to a computer or laptop.

    Again welcome and I'm right down the road from you in Beaufort County.
