Hi all! My name is Eve and I have been using MFP on and off for over a year (more diligently the past few weeks) and I have never used the forum boards nor had any friends to really light up my weight loss spirit but I could use some now!

I started off over 285 lbs when I started this journey (January of 2012) and joined WW Online - I didn't actively start using it until April. But from April until mid November, I dropped over 50 lbs! I wasn't using WW to it's fullest (only to track my food and weight) and figured, why PAY for this when I can use MFP! Well the holidays happened and I went from 232 lbs back up to 245lbs in a matter of 5 weeks! Stupid holiday food.

I am still kicking myself for that because over the last month, I have been eating well (i am a beginner vegetarian) and kicking *kitten* in the gym but not showing the numbers I want. As of last friday, I'm down to 239lbs.

I have a LONG way until I hit my goal weight of 180 but I need all the encouragement and support from this MFP family. Thanks for taking the time to read this and any words of inspiration, tips, etc are MORE then welcome!
