edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I'm new to this site. I thought the best way to get started would be to say hello and introduce myself. I've already lost 30 lbs, but I seem to be at a stand still. My 21st birthday is coming up in October and I would LOVE to be under 200 lbs by then (a 15 pound loss). I'm hoping this site will be the encouragement that is very much needed!:smile:

    Go Girl Go! WE CAN DO IT!! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Hello and Welcome! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    MFP is the greatest diet aid tool I have ever found. :heart: :smooched: :bigsmile: If I had to write all this stuff down well I wouldn't. Keep yourself accountable. Look up calories in foods your not sure about. :happy: Processed sugars and HFCS high fructose syrup are bad! :explode: Stay away from fast foods unless you know how many calories and what kind are in them. :grumble: This is really about changing your life and way you eat forever. :bigsmile: Grabbing food for comfort or boredom is no longer an option! :noway: You must be aware of what, when and where you are eating. :huh:
    So get started! Get psyhced! Get pumped! Grab your water bottles for plenty of filling/flushing H2O!
