in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,
My name is Loretta but most people go by LoLo. I am new to MFP and I'm really excited about being a member here. I've always been on the heavier side and I'm just ready to make a change. I've tried so many different sites and programs. I've failed each one of them. I am ready now heaver to get healthy and in shape. I want to challenge myself in going from 185 to at least 150. I need as much motivation and support from others who are working towards the same goals as I am. The problem with a lot of the other programs and sites I tried were that I was alone and didn't have anyone there to push me to reach my goal. So Im hoping that I can gain that support here at MFP.

    Oh wow! That's great. We should become friends and get to know each other. I'm really serious about this weight thing. I want to be able to shop online for the cute clothes too LOL :)

    So I have a question for everyone,
    Do you change your eating habits or do you eat and just stay within your calorie range? (Along with the exercise)

    Greetings, all! Best of luck to each of you on your weight loss journey. I am on one as well, and looking to shed about 35-40lbs. I need to get back to where I used to be!

    Feel free to add me as a friend on here. I'm always looking to gain some extra motivation, and hope that I can help motivate others as well!
