Hey everyone, my name is Sarah and I am 24 years old. I just decided to join MFP this morning after trying a new fad diet that didn't go so well. Back in 2009 I used weight watchers and it worked! I lost about 20 pounds in about 4 months. However, that quickly ended when I became pregnant with my son and ended up gaining all the weight back plus more. I am now at the heaviest weight I have ever been before and it is not a good feeling. I tried this other new diet 6 weeks ago thinking that it would be a quick fix, and it was miserable. I followed it step by step and guess how much weight I lost in the end? +1! I knew I had to do something else. Something that will not be a quick fix, but a long term lifestyle. My friend suggested trying MFP, as she has used it successfully on her own weight loss journey. So I'm here. And I'm ready. But I'm nervous, because I want this but I know it will take work. I can't wait to begin this new journey!
