hi everyone im angel im from the great state of montana... I found mfp thanks to a friend of mine, I have been trying to lose weight since I was 21... my highest weight in the past 10 years has been 220 lbs and my lowest was 160-ish lbs, I am tired of being in my body, and felling bad about myself, so i am hoping that mfp will help me with the trick to lose weight, but my biggest fear is that i will plateau when i hit the 190lb range like i have done in the past.

    I've had this account for a while, but have only been using it since the end of July when I graduated from nursing school. Now that that's over, I can focus on myself, and I've already lost about 15 lbs! HA!! :D Feel free to add me!

    Hi Angel, I've been on MFP since the end of May and I have lost 42lbs so far. I have a long way to go also but I am feeling good about my progress. I am happy to be putting myself first and making me a priority at least some of the time. Good luck on your journey. Feel free to add me and if you have questions, need help, or encouragement, MFP is a great place to find that. I try to motivate and encourage as best as I can. You've made the right choice to keep trying.

    "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow."
