    Welcome, this is a great place to help you archive your healthy lifestyle goals. The biggest help to me, has been logging my food. And i have met some very inspiring people on here. Feel free to add me if you like.

    MFP is a great place to begin a life changing journey. I am 57 and was encouraged to join this site by my 18 year old son. He has lost 64 pounds in the last 9 months and has gone from a 40 inch waist paint to a 32 inch!! That was enough motivation for me!! The weight for me is coming off slowly, but journaling each day and seeing the 5 week prediction of loss, has been wonderful. Now I know that I need to increase the exercise (my least favorite thing) and drink more water. I wish you the best of luck...I really believe this is a great place to start a weight loss program!!!

    Hi I'm a mother of 3 (9,5, and 3). Just got laid off and finding it hard to get into the swing of things. I want to be healthy and alive for my kids. Anyone can add me. I also find it hard to get motivated.

    This is only my second day.. I'm a mother to six (9,7,6,4, and 2 year old twins). I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of the year and got off track.. got back on track at the beginning of August and then found this site! I can say in just two days I have found great motivation and even greater inspiration.. If you (anyone) don't mind a lot of updating and lots of encouragement feel free to add me!!

    Hi, I'm new too.
    I will be 34 on Sunday and would like to lose 40lbs/19kg. I don't have a set time scale but I'm getting married at the end of Dec so I would like to look the best I can by then.
    I'm living away from home so I don't have the support of my close friends and I'm having to get used to food in a different country too (mostly having problems finding low fat foods eg yogurt and cheese)
    So far so good on here, I'm liking it :)

    Hi, I´m not so new (joined about 4 months ago) but am looking for a few more friends. I love MFP and I have lost weight with it!

    I am an American, 45, Mom of two very cute little girls (7 + 9) and I have lived in Germany for the last 20 years.

    I am on the journey to lose 10 more pounds.
