Hi Everyone, my name is Erica and i have been 5 days into my new weightloss plan. On tuesday the 3-18 i started out at 268 lbs and today i weigh 262.5 so its coming off! Im excited to meet new people and enjoy this new journey. I know its going to be tough but i want to lose weight and i am determined. Im engaged to a wonderful man that met me when i was big and loves me no matter what, but i want something different for myself im tired of being the fat girl.. I want to be able to get in a rollercoaster without the bar squishing my gut, or fit into an airplane seat without feeling like im squishing the person beside me. Actually there is many things that are coming to mind that i cant wait to have changed. my long term goal is 175lbs for now, but im sure when i get there i will want more!!

I have been on this website for about 2 months but since I am actually working two jobs right now have been very bad in my eating habits and choices and exercising has been zilch I am counting down this year till the end of tax season and the beginning of my life again I am weighing in at 190 lbs and just trying to hold my own or hopefully lose a little before I can get back in the swing

Hello welcome to My Fitness Pal. I just love this site. This morning I got up and drove to the park and walked 5.20 miles because I did not want to worry about going over on my calorie count today! (I hate when that happens). So far though I have been able to stay way under my count. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do.

This site is great as long as you are honest with yourself. I have lost 26 pounds with this site but a total 126. I also started around 268 so it seems impossible. One day at a time! Make sure you get some exercise to burn extra calories. You have to burn them to earn them.
