    I am 5' and when I started I weighed 248lbs. I don't have any kids so I can't even hide behind "I haven't lost my baby weight yet..." I am just fat and I was lazy. This is a great site. It make me focus and it teaches me what I should and shouldn't be eating. I don't have a lot of friends on here yet...but I want some :) Everyone I do have as my friends are so supportive and great.

    Today I start my 3rd week and I am already down 9lbs... :)

    Good luck to you!

    You can do it...and I'm here to help!

    I started my journey 300+ days ago at 245 lbs. I was a size 24 and now I'm a 10. I have a little more to go...

    It has been an incredible journey. I was tracking my calories in an excel spreadsheet for about 3 weeks and was getting lazy about charting when a good friend told me about this site. I can tell you that MFP has been a great help in keeping me on target and with the support of friends here and in real life and the compassionate support of my husband and sons here and our daughters across the US, I have made this insurmountable task of getting healthy, changing my habits and the overall way I look at food as easy as it can be.

    Feel free to add me... :) Best wishes for success!!! :):)

    Hey girl, my name is Amanda and I just started this two days ago. I would love to be friends and im 279lbs. I am a married mom of three small boys and need to get a more active body for my more active mind. How do you add friends? I def need support in my journey. My husband is a former Marine and very physically fit. My kids are extremely active but w my weight it slows me down so much. My husband is soooo supportive and thinks im beautiful the way i am. My story is long and tragic but I would rather this be a hello and nice to meet you email. Feel free to email me or let me know how to add people. Thanks so much. <3 Amanda
