in Introduce Yourself
Hey folks! I'm not new to losing weight, but I am new to MyFitnessPal. A little over a year ago I was over 420 pounds (scale didn't count higher than that). I'm at 318 now. I've been as low as 305, but lost some ground recently. I'm trying to get back on track. I lost the first 100 pounds pretty much on my own - counting calories, doing a lot of push mowing (large yard), using a treadmill at home to walk/jog and doing local 5Ks occasionally. I've had success, obviously, but I've only been accountable to myself. With my recent faltering, I thought I'd add something new and find some friends that are on the same journey. If you have a lot of weight to lose, or even if you don't, and you're looking for friends, feel free to add me. ~ Michael

    WOW!!! What a way to 100ish pounds without support of all the little MyFitnessPal voices cheering you on?

    Michael, you made a great decision by joining MFP. I'm brand new but already have enjoyed a great deal of support and encouragement.

    Knock it out of the park, Michael!!!

    Thanks all! I'm blown away by the number of friend requests I've received in the last half hour and I'm very thankful for the kind words. I'm looking forward to getting to know the community and I'm excited to share the journey with all of you. I'll be periodically checking back to send friend requests out to those who have asked me to add them. If I somehow miss you, please send me an invite directly.
