24 yrs old/290 lbs...

Hey all! My name is Alyssa and I'm new to MFP. I've been a fatty nearly my whole life. Every time I start a diet I fall off the wagon usually after 2 weeks and don't get back on till the next time. I've just put myself into this whole cycle that's doomed from the start. So I'm looking to break that cycle and finally start living my life. One thing I've never had during my attempts to lose weight is someone to lose weight with. Yeah I'll workout with my already skinny sister but I need someone that's going through the same thing as me ya know?

    Totally know. My sibling is super skinny and doesn't have to work at it. Only someone who's been there knows what it's like. Hit me up if you need motivation or whatever :)

    Welcome! Iv'e been in the same boat as you. My sister always the thinner one. I was taunted all throughout my teen years by my mom and sister. I have about 100 pounds to lose. The most I have ever kept off was about 60 pounds two years ago.
