Hi I'm brad.

I'm 6'1
My highest weight was 288 lbs
My current weight is 201 lbs
My goal weight is 180 lbs

I want to get in shape because I want to look good. I feel kinda bad saying it, but it's for pretty vain reasons. I have no health issues, but there is no doubt that I was headed in that direction if I hadn't have made this change when I did.

Nice to meet all of you. Feel free to add me. Im always looking for more friends and support

Hello

Thanks for adding to the group. I want to get in shape so I can feel good about myself again. When I was smaller I was so much more active and outgoing. I don't want to spend the rest of my life being unhappy with myself so I am determined to do something about it.

Hello everyone I am Marilyn. I am 5'9", 25 years old and single with no children. I am on here to find that healthy strong body I used to have while playing college softball. I had 2 knee surgeries and I gained almost 90 pounds over a 5 year span. I am a private softball instructor to over 20 girls and I am a personal hitting and pitching coach for 2 different teams. I want to be a good role model for all of these girls that I work with. I was an exercise science major in college so I have a great interest in health and fitness! I decided that I am no longer using my knee injury as an excuse and I am going to get back to feeling good about myself again.
My highest Weight= 235
Current Weight= 219
Ultimate Goal Weight= 145 (however I am focusing on short term goals up until I lose the first 50 pounds and then going from there)

Anyone feel free to friend me as I am new to this site and only have 1 friend right now.... I feel accountability and support is huge to get through some of the tough times.

Good Luck Everyone!!

(hopefully nobody minds me joining? I've noticed some people saying they were invited to the group, and I kind of just barged in, haha ) Anyways...

Hi guys!! My name's Bella.
I'm 19, 5'4, and weigh 198lbs. My highest ever was 205, and my goal weight for now is about 130. We'll see when I get around there.

I've struggled with a lot of things in my life due to my weight. I found it hard to make friends, and meet new people because I was embarrassed about myself, and the way I looked. In all honesty, I hated myself. I was never overly obese as a kid, but I was chubby. I guess I got lucky with having the fat evenly proportioned over my body. Regardless, I still got made fun of all through school, and I put myself into a kind of shell. I feel like I've missed out on a lot of things due to me being so insecure about myself. So now it's time for a change. I'm ready to be the person I know I can be. Be fit, healthy, and happy with myself. It's time to let the person inside me, the REAL me, burst out and shine (kind of sounds a little corny, haha).
I'm going to school for my dream job(s?) in September 2013, and I'm going to have to be in tip top shape in order to go anywhere in my career (woot for becoming either a hockey reporter, or sports caster(specializing in hockey) hahaha).

My plan for this whole thing is to of course completely change my eating habits. They aren't overly bad now, but they could be better. Can't afford to go to a gym(broke university kid with a horse, and dog), so I'll be working out from home, doing DVDs. I'm starting out with P90X and Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred, and once done the 30DS, I've got her Ripped in 30 DVD. After P90X, I'd really like to give Insanity a try. And...I guess I'll just go on from this point once I get there?

I feel like I'm rambling at this point, so I'll end this.
Anybody feel free to add me! The more motivation, the better :bigsmile:

Hi, I'm Dawn. I'm 32, seriously dating a great guy and no children. I've been heavy since I was a teen with my highest weight ever being 221 lbs in Jan of 09. I worked hard, lost 33lbs but then lost my track and let some difficult times and then a bad knee injury take over my health and my life. As a result I gained 23 of those lbs back. July 1, 2012 I decided to take control of both things and knew that finally losing all the weight and getting to a healthy body would be a major part of that. I want to be a healthy, active person who has self confidance and loves who I see in the mirror. My BF and I are also starting to talk about marriage and planning a family and I want to be fit and healthy for when those things happen!

My highest weight (in Jan 09): 221
Starting weight for MFP: 211
Current weight: 199
Goal weight: 150-140 lbs

Add me if you'd like more supportive friends!
