in Introduce Yourself
Hi everybody! My name's Jamie. :) I've been on MFP for a little while now, but I've gotten to the mental state where I really feel I can lose weight and keep it off. I'm ready. I realized the other day that I don't have a whole lot of other friends who share my same predicament. I'm looking for supportive friends who either have over 100 pounds to lose or have lost over 100 pounds. I hope we can support each other on our journeys! Let me tell you a bit about myself. When I was 15 I had to move across thr country. I was always overweight, but when I moved I became massively depressed (I take medication for it) and I gained about 20 more pounds. Now, I'm mentally ready to get to my goal weight. I'm 5'9" and currently weigh 255. My heaviest was 272. My goal weight is 150. Thanks for reading! :) I hope to be supportive and find people who are!

    I sooooo need an accountability partner! I have 100+ to lose and need support. I really want to get it done this time and my goal is pretty reasonable. I am setting a goal for Jan 2014. After that, I will re-evaluate. I will actually still be considered overweight after losing 100 lbs...I will probably need to lose another 20 or so to be in ideal shape.

    HI everyone.. I just joined MFP and lookinmg for others for encouagement and motivation (both to get and give). Feel free tp message me or add me. Noce to have others who go through the same things I do. I want to lose 150.. though I probably SHOULD lose 170-200. At this point I want to get below the 300lb mark as my short term goal.

    I have about 100 pounds to lose as well. I am 5' 8" and have lost about 20. Its a journey full of ups and downs but feel free to add me. I log in everyday and I log everything, even if it is a bad day. You're human and bound to make mistakes. You will have good days, bad days, and in between days. But log it all! It really helps!
