Greetings from NJ, USA!!

Hello! I've been using MFP for over half a year now on my phone, but only now discovered that there's an entire forum of support for help!

I am 26 years old at around 5'8". When I was 22 years old, I joined weight watchers because I weighed 225 and figured it would help. Over the course of three years, quitting and rejoining, gaining and losing, and plateauing, I discovered MFP and it has helped me KEEP the weight off for good. I now weigh around 158 and feel the best I've ever felt.

I found that the only way for me to keep the weight off is to be almost compulsive with my tracking. I receive ridicule from friends and family from time to time, but it's the only way I know how to keep it in check. Sure I have my splurge moments where I "forget" to enter in my big dinner and dessert (Christmas, birthday, etc.), but that's only once every two weeks or so.

Overall, I'm excited to hear of others' successes and issues. Feel free to add me if you'd like. I congratulate on any weight loss and consistency with tracking and logging in

Looking forward to the interactions here!!
