in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm 48 and fat. I just signed up for this yesterday, I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs in 5 months. I'd like to get a few friends as I believe the camaraderie will be a big help. So if you got room for another friend please let me know. Thanks.

    Good luck on your journey! Just a friendly word of advice, maybe don't set yourself a 5 month deadline for losing the weight! Just take it slow and steady and you'll be a healthier you before you know it!

    Count me in. I just joined yesterday as well. Time to get off my butt and back into my clothes which are literally bulging at the seams. I refuse to buy new ones!

    Took me a while to finally admit that. Good luck. You can do this. Six months in I have lost over 60 pounds.

    hi . I'm so glad you decided to join. This site has been so helpful to me. I'd love it if you added me as a friend. I'm on every day and would love to have another friend. I'm 44 and I was fat, now I'm on my way to being thin.

    You got this!!! I am almost near the 30 mark with 3 kids and informed today that my boyfriend does not think I can lose weight so i would say I am fat too. There are some pretty awesome people on here, you will have all the motivation you need, stick to it and you will do fine.:wink:

    I'm not quite to 48 yet and not fat now, just a bit "fluffy", but I was fat when I joined MFP! I'm more fit now than I have ever been since I was a teenager. You can do it, too!

    !! I hope this was reverse psycology, I hate it when people say things like that. They don't realise how hurtful they are being/can be and how much these things can impact a person.

    Positive all the way is my philosphy!
