BR1TTNIE

Hi ppl! I'm Brittnie, 26 and from Birmingham. I came to this site a few months ago. I was using FatSecret but, this site offers more so I thought I'd give it a try! I'm glad I found a local group. I lost 40lbs a couple years ago, but now it seems to be sneaking back up on me. Mainly, I think the weight gain is due to some of my medication. It has been a struggle to lose, and seems to flip flop like crazy! I've been wanting to meet some local people for support, and make goals together.

Feel free to add me as a friend! I'll be glad to support you as well. Hopefully we can get through this!

-Britt.

Greetings from Tuscaloosa! My name is Cassy and I am 20 years old. I am a junior at UA studying public relations with a double minor in creative writing and consumer sciences. I joined MFP in January with my (now ex) boyfriend because we wanted to lose weight together.. but we have since broken up recently and now I'm doing this to make me happier. I'm really looking for some motivators so feel free to add me!!

Roll damn tide.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am 37 years old, and I am from Huntsville, AL and I have been on here for a couple months but hadn't actually participated in the site until just now. I am studio manager and graphic designer at a local Design Studio here. I have a gorgeous 17 year old daughter and a wonderful husband who supports me no matter what! I had lost a lot of weight about 2 years ago and kept it off for about a year, last year I went through 5 surgeries in 1 year and I have struggled to not gain it all back. I have gained quite a bit back but I am finally feeling healthy enough to reclaim that victory and get rid of the weight once and for all. I love being active and the high you get from taking care of yourself and exercising regularly.

Hi! My name is Natalie. I'm 22 years old, and I was born and raised in Huntsville, AL. I'm a computer science major at UAH, and I'm graduating in December. Been on here since September, but just now trying the forums. After getting up to 272, and being very unhappy with myself, I got fed up with being fat and unhappy. I've done a complete lifestyle change and lost 97 pounds in 10 months from following the macros on here and exercising. I'm going for 160 right now, then I'll see if I want to go for more.

Hey Ya'll!!
My name is Amanda and I live in Tuscaloosa. I joined MFP a couple weeks ago when my coworker told me about it. I love this sight it has really kept me on the right track! I have 63 lbs to lose and I am determined this time. I lost about 5 lbs 2 years ago so I know it is possible! This time I am going to keep it off. It is great to see how wonderful you all are doing!! I work in Athletics so I have to get into shape. Being around all these student athletes make me realize how fat I have gotten!! But I am fixing it!
Nice to meet ya'll!

Hi!
My name is Nicole and I just graduated from the University of Alabama. I'm about to move to Baldwin County. I've been a member of MFP on and off for probably a year, but I've been logging consistently for about 2 months! I'm looking to lose about 20-30 lbs and tone up. I love running, and now that I don't have the Rec I run outside daily and do calisthenics at home. Next week when I move I plan on either doing Insanity or the 30 Day Shred.
Roll tide and good luck on yall's journeys!

Update:.....No Longer in Weaver decided to move back to Gadsden. Still finding that the weight just doesn't want to budge, BUT I am noticing a difference in the way my clothes fit and my stamina. Invested in a personal trainer as well. I needed to do something because something wasn't working.

Roll TIde! I got tired of the lose weight/gain weight roller coaster and opted to have the gastric sleeve surgery on 11/12/2012. I went through six months of research, dr check ins, nutrition counseling, psychiatric evaluation, blogs, googles, etc. I feel like I made the best choice for me. I have lost a total of 58 lbs as of yesterday! My doctor wants me to lose 48 more, but we will see if that feels right for me. I really do not want to look like one of those malnourished child posters. I have more energy, enjoy shopping for new clothes in smaller sizes, and talking with other people who have gone through the WLS process. We all need encouragement for those ups and down days! I live in Valley, Alabama which is very close to Auburn. However, I bleed CRIMSON!

Hello! My name is Rachel and I live in the Boaz area. I have lost 9 pounds since the 1st of January and it is coming off slowly but I really don't mind. After years of losing and gaining, I am figuring out what is best for me. I have put myself on a 1200 calorie a day eating schedule. I don't like the word diet. It is a lifestyle change that I am making and at 50yrs, it's about time. My husband is very supportive and that helps tremendously. My biggest problem is my job at school has me in a chair most of the day. I am making myself get up and MOVE! Looking forward to being in this group.

I am a stay at home mama of 2 under 3y...after being a single working girl. 1 of my kids is prone to febrile seizures. I'm tired all the time so as much as I'd love to exercise more...I'd rather nap or watch an hr of noncartoon tv while they nap lol.

Hi, I'm Sherry from Alpine, AL. I hope to lose 50 lbs that I gained over the past nine years since I got married to my wonderful husband that loves to cook. I am new to this scene and have purchased a Fitbit that I should be receiving tomorrow. Hopefully with the combined MFP, Fitbit Flex, the Wii, and a support group like this, I will be able to reach that goal.
