Hello everyone, I'm new to this program as well. I started at 323 pounds, and at 5'2". I'm down to 307.

I have been able to lose the weight twice in my life, I've been down to a size 8 (for a week) kinda like oprah and her skinny jeans and wagon full of butter.

I've never been able to maintain the lose. I am looking for a group of people who understand this journey.

So, please feel free to add me. i do need support fro others who've been in the same boat!

Is it strange to say I don't even know how I got here? I went to see our local community health nurse last Tuesday to get my official weigh in and got a shock.............magic number 333. I remember years ago a friend telling me she weighed 210 and I thought "I may never be the skinny girl but I won't let myself ever get over 200lbs"
Yet....here I am....WAY over that!! I know I have to do this, I know it will take time, I know it will be hard, I know I have to exercise and make better food choices.
I am scared, this is hard, healthy eating is more expensive, I am tired all the time....................help!

I'm replying so others will. Have you filled out all the info so MFP can help you set daily calorie goals? That is the first step. Next you should buy a food scale so you can weigh solid foods, like meat, cheese, pasta, rice, potatoes, nuts, etc. You can use measuring cups for liquids.

Today, weigh and measure the foods that you eat, then look them up in the database and log them. That is a good way to start.

If you eat the number of calories MFP suggests, you will lose weight.

I started my journey way over 300lbs, this winter after a year or more of slowly losing weight and dealing with IBS problems, I got serious about eating healthy and have lost 40lbs since January. I am always looking for more friends and it's nice to have people who are on similar journeys to mine.

Anyone can feel free to add me
