in Introduce Yourself
I'm Kimberly, I've been seriously unhappy with my body for the last 5 years ever since I gained 40 lbs in college. I am here now because I have seen enough and realize that other people take control of their lives and CAN get the body they want. I'm going to do the same. I'm hoping to lose 50+ pounds, and I'd love to meet some people with similar goals to chat with. :) Hope I'm not alone.

    I gained 40 pounds in college also- then I lost it all for my wedding a year and a half ago... then I gained 20 of it back (in less than a year- yikes!) Now I'm on this site to get control of my weight. I don't want to be the kind of person who bounces up and down her whole life. You can do it, I know you can. I can do it to- we all can! Best of luck to you!

    I've gained over 100lbs since high school (four years ago) by just unhealthy eating and the death of my mother.
    It's really encouraging knowing you're not alone, and having MFP on the go, just makes a healthy lifestyle so much more manageable.
    I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
    PS- Pinterest DOES rock!

    These forums, and this entire website really does help toward losing weight. Having people around does help to push you forward, and it feels good to help others to when they need it.

    welcome Kimberly, I have been gone for awhile now, and just now coming back. I got discouraged and went back to eating the old way. I haven't gained any back but haven't lost any either. so come on.. lets get the 50 + off. Denise
