    Just wanted to pop-in and say hi. I have been off and on some kind of diet plan since I was 16. After 16 years, 2 kids and 1 divorce, I've decided that i don't need a "diet" and just need to start making better choices. I sometimes get discouraged seeing people post about how "fat' they are when they only have 25 pounds to lose. I wish it was only 25.

    Please add me as a friend if you need encouragement or motivation. I make a pretty good cheerleader. To me, being able to wake up every day and face the world is a victory. :-)

    Hello, I am Robin. I have lurked around here for some time. I am really trying to do the deal and get my blood sugar and weight under control.

    SW: 397
    CW:351.4
    GW:150ish

    I am 53 years old and struggle with health stuff just like everyone. I am not making any excuses anymore. I do not want to have any surgery for weight loss. I've know many close friends who have had surgery. Some were very successful and some were not. I am not a very social person so even posting is me getting out of my comfort zone. :) Very happy to be here.:smile:

    Hi everyone my name is Melissa. I started my weightloss journey a few years ago at 430 lbs. I lost 115 lbs over the course of a year and my hip went out. Unbeknownst to me, that was contributing to my weight gain. I actually thought my body was hurting so much because of gaining weight alone. Though, I'm sure it didn't help. It's a long story but it took a year and two months before I could get my hip replacement (it was from a birth defect btw). So, I gained 70 pounds back during that time because I was immobile again. I'm now 5 months out of having the surgery and have my mobility back again. Yay. I am losing weight again and am so happy to be back on my journey. I am at 359 lbs now and my goal weight is around 200. I'm looking forward to making new weight loss friends. It always helps to have encouragement.

    Depending on my body feels at the goal weight. It seems kind of overwhelming. But I am two weeks in, and am really liking it. I am glad there is a place where we can support eachother.

    Looking for friends who on the same journey as me, to share tips, give each other encouragement during those bad points. I have recently gone to see my doctor, but now waiting to be referred to a dietitian.

    CW: 308
    GW: 105- 133 (apparently this is the healthy weight for me- I am 5'3).

    Hi! Melissa from Southeast TX here!

    SW: 367
    CW: 323
    GW: 150

    My SW is the absolute heaviest I've ever been. When I started MFP I didn't weigh first. I'm TERRIFIED of the scale. I did, however, bite the bullet and weigh yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised. Go me! I MIGHT start weighing every couple of weeks. We'll see how the anxiety level is, lol!
