Looking for friends and support<3

Hi, my names Alyssa. I am 18 and 268 pounds as of now and my dream is to be 180 or even less if possible. I've been doing this for a week and really love it so far becomes it's fun and doesn't seem like so much pressure if that even makes sense. Im looking for more support. I've been heavy just about all my life to be honest, always been heavy. I really need to get healthy and I want to be healthy. My family is supportive for me but there eating habits aren't exactly great. I like this because when you have friends on here you know your not alone. We're all in the same battle and joy at the same time. I lost 2 pounds my first week just doing what it recommends. I'm really hoping this works for me. Also if you send me a request message with it please. Thanks agian. Maybe I'll get a little more support. :) keepingyourheadupalyssa<3

  • You can friend me! I have been on MFP for a little over a year now and it has really made me want to learn more and more about being healthy and what that means, exactly. I am so excited for you and the journey you are about to embark on. Good luck!

    Congrats on your 2 lbs lost in your first week! I have been a yoyo dieter all my life and am now at my heaviest at 288 and 33 years old! Eek! I just started back on this today so I have a long way to go! Good luck to you and I hope you reach your goals!
