'ello everyone!

So, I'm Nikki and just joined the site. Supportive friends would be amazing! I don't have a very good support system in place at home so, while the idea of trying to lose weight is in my head,but my life style and the life style of people around me don't mesh well at all. I feel like I'm always missing out on so much in life because I have always been fatter then everyone else, even as a young kid. My whole life as my age went up so did my waist line. No one in my family does any kind of exercise (except it being part of their job) so don't really know where to start in all this so any help/advice would be great!

    would love to be a part of your friends list...uyent It does make things harder when people around you don't workout as well.

    I have to say that changing the diet first - then exercise will follow. You will want to exercise even. That's how it worked for me anyway. So good luck. Stay focused. Small steps!!! small steps!!!! do not get discouraged. Take each day at a time. We are all here for each other!!!

    Hi everyone. My name is Murphy and I am a type 1.5 diabetic. (For those that are diabetes, then 1.5 isn't something new.) This is my first day being on myfitnesspal and I downloaded the apps for my iphone and ipad. I am looking to drop about 20 pounds by thanksgiving. I am looking forward to being friends with lots of people that are going through the same that I am. Also those that are not diabetics and just want to make a life change and lose weight.

    P.S. I almost also started crossfit last week and it is crazy intense. I recommend it for those who are looking for a challenge when it comes to exercising.
  • Hi Nicki,
