    Salaamu aleikoum brothers and sisters,

    I'm Heni orginally European but I live in Algeria now. I've been a Muslim for over 10yrs now. I have 4 children elhamdullah. I started my life change in 2011 Jan machallah losing 60lbs. But then I found out i was pregnant then put on bed rest. So of course with no excerise I gained some back. My baby is 4m now so it's time to get moving again!

    With sucess using MFP I'm back here trying to get fit and healthy again. I try to eat only local fresh in season foods, halal of course. Little sugar as possible opting for natural sweeteners like honey and dates. I try to follow the Sunnah when it comes to my family's diet. Machallah it did work for me in the past (in 2011) so I plan to continue with it. I am happy to friend you all and give support where i can!

    Enchallah happy Ramadan to you all!

    As Salaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

    I am Sister Shahada in the metro Atlanta, Ga (USA) area. I accepted Islam in 1430 Hijri year (I don't remember exactly when), and I am so grateful to have been guided to this Deen. I have found my Peace and Security with Islaam.

    I have joined the site just under a week now, and with the main purpose of holding myself accountable while really striving to make good changes in my life. I have recently started a new chapter in my life, and I wish to take care of my health as a way to show appreciation for Allah's blessings.

    If there are any sisters in the Atlanta area that wish to be in touch, please do in sha'Allah! The encouragement is a great thing!

    I have typically been shy about my weight and health issues in the past, but my goal is to please Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala; if I have to open up some ugly wounds in order to heal, then alhamdulillah.

    Hello Everyone, As Salaaam Alaykum...
    Im Adly from South Carolina, USA. I am full time student studying Early Childhood Education. I am single without any children. I just signed up for MFP last night. I am looking to drop around 30 pounds. I have been walking and running for the past two weeks and trying to do the Special K diet plan. The drinks are good for me because they have a lot of vitamins and proteins, but I need more of a push!!! I am looking forward to looking better and feel better about myself as a person, as a Muslimah. My goal is to love myself.

    MashALLAh I teared while reading most of your stories. SobhanALLAH alhamdullilah to see you all converted to Islam :) This is really a true bless.

    I was born Muslim al hamdulillah, my english is weak since I'm arabian. 27 years old got married 5 months ago and moved to uae with my hubby. Being away from my family and everyone made me gain so much weight since now i stay at home all the time and i know no one here except my husband. That's why i joined MFP hopefully to feel motivated and try eat healthy and exercise more inshALLAH.

    Feel free to add me if you like to because I really need some friends to talk to :)

    Salamu alaikom

    Salaam alaykom everyone. My name is Nasreen and I am from South Africa. I am a revert too and reverted just after September 11th.I am married to my best friend in the whole world, Noureddine who is from Morocco. He is so supportive and really wants me to do well. He cares about my health as well as my deen and that is what means the most to me.

    I have always had problems with my weight and it is hard because I am naturally a very big person as well as tall. It is hard to accept that I will never be petite so I am aiming for "sporty",lol. I am addicted to food but I am doing well so far and have really changed my life. I excersize a lot and watch what I eat.

    If anyone ever wants to chat or wants a support buddy in this battle against the bulge then feel free to contact me.

    Keep well InshAllah and I am personally rooting and making duaa for all my brothers and sisters on this site to achieve their goals and get healthy, Ameen.

    Esselamu aleikum!

    My name is Devleta :) I am Bosnian muslimah living in Chicago. I started to gain weight around 4th grade gradually. And unfortunately I came to a place where I am not happy with my body. I am trying to lose 40-50 pounds to be in the healthy range for my height. I am doing this for myself and to be healthy. I have always been called fat and made fun off at school and at home (they say they are only joking) but it hurts. However, I am not doing this for those people. I just want to feel happy about myself. InshaAllah we are all successful in out weight loss journey!
