Hey Guys, I just joined mfp this week. I have been yo yo dieting my whole life. I've done weight watchers, (which I did lose 40 lbs but gained all back when I stopped counting points.) I've done nutrisystem, and then went to like 500 calories. Obviously, none of these things work! The thing that I love about this site is you can eat what you want, you just have to watch it, and exersise. :) I have always been chubby, and over weight. In the past 5 years I gained 80lbs!! I have had 2 kids and I just stopped worrying about what I was eating. I am currently 235 and I would love to be 135 at the end of all this. We have a family vaction to Disney in May. I would like to be 200lbs by then. I love this site. It is just the kind of inspiration I needed!

    Welcome! I wish you luck! I started this Jan 1st! Only down 5 but working on it! It's hard at first isn't it but gets better! I hear your struggles. I've put 63 on in the last 5 years 30 in this last year. (getting medical tests done make sure everthings ok) Its shocking to figure that out how much you can pack on! I'm flatlined right now but still pushing through with good support from my boyfriend and family it makes it easier n being one gives you support too! So welcome!

    I too have always been chubby. I am losing 32 lbs by my 32nd birthday in June! You totally know you can make your goal! This site is so good for tracking calories and exercise. I am no exercise addict by any means but at least now I feel how much I need to keep it up everyday. If I could only get my husband to do this! Best of luck to you!!!
