Hey, I am Kurtney and I am new to this. I want people to talk to on here who have reached their goal, still achieving their goal, and who have just started. I am still achieving my goal but i have lost around 30 pounds so far. I am 21 and have always been over weight since I can remember. I would love people to talk to and to help motivate me also so I can do the same back. :)

    Hi, Kurtney welcome to MFP. I'm Shalla. I too have been overweight, since I was like 7 or 8. I'm still working on achieving my goals and I would love to be apart of your support team! Good luck to you in your journey and I'm sure you'll love the accountability and support you get here.

    Well to have true variety you need to have at least one guy in your thread. :). And at 55 I think I get age honor too. I am lucky in that I have never been real over weight, but could still stand to drop 10 pounds. My weakness is my diet, I do really well on the exercise part. Good thing too or I sure would have a lot of extra weight.

    And 30 pounds is terrific! Going slow I best too. Great job!! Feel free to addif you like
