Hi guys! My name is Jess and just started using mfp a couple of weeks ago & have since lost 7 lbs! I didn't realize all the support mfp has until my app couldn't sync and I panicked the other day and went on the actual website! I was really sick about a month ago and finally went to the doctor where of course got weighed. I knew I had been packing on the pounds but it wasn't until being there and seeing it, something finally clicked & I decided I need to change my life! I searched for an app and found mfp and am in love with it!! I have started eating soooooo much better because I feel like I'm accountable because of keeping track! I started my journey at 255 and my first goal is to lose 60 pounds. I want to be the exact weight I was prior to my two babies! I will then like to lose another 30 to 40 I think, but I want to focus on my 60 lbs. first!! I could use all the support I can get guys! Thank you for sharing all your stories as I've spent every nap time (I do daycare!) reading them instead of having the usual snack!!

    Hello all,

    I am also in SD. East river right now but would love to get west river before long, just need to find a job back in Rapid City. I found MFP back on 09/15/11 and have been addicted ever since. I have lost 45.8 pounds since joining and I am hoping to hit the 50 pound mark before the end of the year. In May I found out that I needed to be on medicine for my thyroid condition, but I did not start losing any weight until I started on MFP.

    HW 401 (When I was hospitalized during my pregnancy with my twins)
    SW 341.6
    CW 295.8
    GW 232 (This is weight I promised my twins I would be before they start Kindergarden~ I have 2 1/2 years to hit that goal)
    Then we will see.
