New to myfitnesspal

Hi all, my name is Melissa. I currently weigh 300 lbs, I'm 30 years old. I am looking for a good support system and people who have lost or want to lose a rather big amount of weight like me. I'm just sick of living my life like this and need to start changing my life for the better so I can stick around for my daughter for a long time. This is going to be a long, hard journey for me but I'm willing to put in the hard work and hope I have some support and maybe make a few friends.

Hi my name is Debbie and I am just starting myfitnesspal as well. I won't even tell my husband and kids how much I weigh but here it goes I am 256. So yes I have a long way to go as well. I started this about four days ago and have only stayed within my calorie goal two days. I am trying not to beat myself up over it. I have decided to weigh once a month and drink at least 3 glasses of water a day. This is hard for me because I don't like water but I know it is essential to flushing my body of bad stuff and helping cells do their job. Lets just take one day at a time we can do it. Feel free to call on me any time you need to vent or celebrate a goal. I am making my goals smal at first so I can feel good when I meet them and get encouragement to make more and reach them. WE CAN DO THIS.....
