in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm Mandy. I'm 28 and new to MFP. I am overweight, and have been all my life. For the first time in my life, I am in a strong healthy, loving realtionship with someone who loves me for who I am and supports me no matter what size. And I want to be the healthy person I deserve to be. So far I've lost 35lbs, but I have a long road to travel to get to a healthy place. My goal is 150-160, which is considered healthy BMI level for my height of 5'7". I started my weight loss journey at 320lbs. My diaryblog is open for suggestions or advice, a lot of time I question if I'm doing this "right". I don't have any MFP friends yet, so if anyone feels like they are in a similar situation and would like to add me, I'd appreciate it.

Good luck on your weight loss, and thanks for reading!

    Welcome to the trip down healthy lane! :smile: MFP is an awesome site to help keep us accountable. I have some weight to lose and am a short person so the weight doesn't drop very easily. Therefore, I continue to have battles of my own. Please feel free to add me as your new friend if you would like to. :flowerforyou:
