in Introduce Yourself
Hello MFP friends, I like to read what others have to say but not much on saying something myself, well here goes, I am 49 and I need to lose 115 lbs. I would love to have support and be supportive of others. I joined in June of last year an then I lost my motivation. I came back in late January or early Feb of this year, and I must say I have been pretty good about logging in what I ate but not so good at staying within my calorie limits. Right now I cant do much exercising, I have a stress fracture in my knee and a broken toe. I have also had 3 knee surgerys in the past couple years, between a torn ACL and 2 miniscus tears. I use to be very active but I haven't been able too for a long while an I really miss it. I still have pain in my knees alot, so I was thinking maybe if I could get some of this weight off it would make a big difference (not to mention all the other benefits). Please feel free to friend me and we can encourage one another along this journey :-)

    Hello! I just read your post and would like to add you as a friend. I need to lose at least 100 pounds. I could lose more, but that is my first initial goal. I just joined earlier this week, am excited about the website and am feeling very motivated. I had knee surgery a year ago and have been feeling discouraged about my inability to work out. I am a 40 year old mother of 2. I live in NH!

    Hi, my name is Pat. I also need to loose at least 100, but to be really honest it's more like 150, I weigh 276I'm 5' 3/4". 64years old and my knees hurt so bad, it's hard to walk. I kept thinking I could do this on my own, but doing it with friends to help keep me honest and on top of my eating and exercise. You all can add me if you want. Keeping each other encouraged and moving to our goal of good healthy habits, it's all good:happy: . I live in Washington State, but plan to move back to Michigan this fall or next spring at the latest to be near my family, I have 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren.
