Hi! I'm Rachel, 20 years old, and I am a junior in college. I've been on MFP about three months ago and I lost a good 10 pounds, but with school and work, I began overeating due to stresss and ended up deactivating my account. After hearing some of my family make comments about my weight during the holiday, I felt like the new year was to prove to them and myself that I could re-gain control of my weight. I will definetly be joining this group because I can use all the support I can get! Thanks for creating this thread!

Heeelllloooooo! I am Ashley. I am 29 years old and I am working on my Bachelor's degree and only have 8 clases left!! I am also in the military. It is in my job description that I have to weigh a certain amount. But I am always super close if not right at it. I am not happy with the way I look. I am not happy with how I feel about my body. I want to be toned. I want to be thin. I want to feel as pretty on teh outside as I feel on the inside. I weight 178 pounds right now. Which is a loss of 7 pounds from when I started. Lets get through this stuff together people!

Hey all! I'm Chris and I'm 29. I work as a counselor in a local school district and have been focusing on a LOT of things in my life lately other than myself and my health! My husband and I would like to start a family however - I am over 30 pounds heavier than when we got married about 4 and a half years ago. I'm really looking forward to being not just a lighter but healthier mom! I also LOVE food - cutting out foods (especially sweets like chocolate) is NOT something that works for me. Thus - having MFP is huge for me. I love that I can learn where and when I can work in my one sweet treat for the day. I'm on day two of MFP and I've already learned that I don't "NEED" that extra helping of sugar - it'll be there tomorrow if I want it!

I also LOVE cooking and baking and am SO looking forward to working some new and healthier magic in the kitchen - especially when it comes to things that can kick my sweet craving but not be super unhealthy!

I'm also trying to get active again - but....DH and I are on a tight budget and a gym membership isn't in the cards right now. We were given a Wii and some activity games like Wii fit and a Jillian Michael's program for Christmas last year. I'm going to do those but need suggestions for other things! We live in a VERY cold part of the country and I'm not an outdoor enthusiast during the winter months - thus, going outside and "playing" doesn't work for me!!! lol If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Looking forward to working hard with you all!

Hey there! I'm Christa, a 23 year-old librarian living just outside of Toronto. I've been trying to lose weight on and off for about two years, but I find it hard to get myself motivated. I joined a gym once when they had a special offer, but even then it was just too pricy. So I've set a goal for myself to get into shape this year. When I heard about this site, I thought I'd give it a try and hopefully it will do me well.

Hello everyone!

My name is Meg and I am 28, a special education teacher, wife and mother of a two year old. I have ALMOST hit the 200 mark and I don't want to go back there. Recently, I have put everything else in place of my health and I can't let this happen anymore. I lost 30 lbs. about 5 years ago but life happens and I have gained almost all of it back! I am ready to get serious about taking care of myself and staying healthy. I want to be able to manage all the things I have going on in my life and I know the only way to do that is to FEEL GOOD! I can't to have more energy and start feeling beautiful again! Feel free to add me I could use all the motivation I can get!
