Hi Everyone,
A friend highly encouraged that I join My Fitness Pal so here I am. I'm 41 and have been overweight all my life with all the struggles around it that I'm sure everyone here has had. I have over 100 lbs that I want to lose. I really want to lose weight but haven't been able to find anything that is the right thing for me so I'm hoping that I can find it here. I definitely need all the support and encouragement I can get! I just hope that this will work because I'm so tired of all the side effects of carrying all this extra weight around.

Consider me a friend. I'm new to MFP, but I need help, too. I'm in Central Maryland, but from NEPA. I've got to lose 60 pounds and I'm terrified. Don't want to fail again.0
