in Introduce Yourself
Was wondering if anyone would like to add me as kinda like a I give you support and you give me support kind of deal?
I am obese, a new mom to a wonderful baby boy... as you can see in my image there....
Im Caitlin 21, 6 feet 1 inch tall, 404lbs. I have never been small. EVER
the smallest I remember being in middle school was a 15/16 and I would like to get back down to that, or maybe a 12/14
I am currently in a 24/26... I DO carry my weight well but I am not cozy with my body and I have a LOT of work to do
before i became prego I had lost 80 lbs. My highest weight was 427. My lowest I remember was 289 in high school
i would like to be 240-260 somewhere around there, and see what that looks like before I keep going

So, with that said... I have had this app for a while but havent been as serious about it as I should be, so I am getting serious and I need some people to keep me in check I guess and to say hey! Great Job!
Im sure there are other people out there like me who like to feel good about their efforts ha ha

anyway God Bless !
-Caitlin

    Hi Caitlin,

    Feel free to send me a request. I'm also looking for more friends to come along for the ride. I leave my diary open and definitely will be a cheering squad. I'm about 5'11 and my starting weight was 405. I'm down to 324 but have a long way to go as well. I am glad to see you on MFP, and congratulations on your new baby!:flowerforyou:

    We sound pretty much like MFP twins. I'm 6'1" and 446 as of my last weigh in. I envy the fact that you are wearing a 26!!! LOL! Please feel free to add me, I'd love to be able to compare calorie burns and stuff.
