in Introduce Yourself
Hello! My name is Amy and I am new here! I am looking for people with similar interests/ weight loss goals as me so introduce yourself and add me!!!! (even if we don';t have similar interests / weight loss goals you can still add me).

- I am 22
- Current weight is 204.5. I am trying to get down to 135 and then go from there. My ideal is 120.
- My goal is 1 pound one week, 2 pounds the next. That way I average about 6 pounds a month so in 12 months I will be 135.
- Personal: I love theater, acting, making movies, directing, crocheting amigurumi animals, sitting on the computer.
- I log on everyday so I will be able to write to people and update a lot!

Can't wait to meet you all!

    Feel free to add me. I started right around 300 pounds. So far I have lost 27 pounds in about 3 months. I have never stuck to losing weight but I am this time and am very proud of myself. After just 3 months I feel better and people are starting to notice. I will not lie and say everyday has been easy. Actually the past 2 weeks I havent done to well at all but I am ready to get back to it. I will support you all I can

    Thanks! I need all of the support I can get! Congrats on the weight loss! That's so awesome! That's such a great feeling when people comment on your weight loss! I have just started and people have already told me I look thinner. (i think its mainly because I don't overeat so I don't bloat as much). I will send you a friend request!

    Hey! Don't feel silly at all! 10 pounds is still a good goal! I understand it can be hard. When you have a lot to lose it seems to drop off fast in the beginning. Sometimes its just the last 10 pounds thats hard. Once I got down to 135 before, (which is a normal bmi for my height but still borderline over weight) I kind of hit a plateau and for the life of me couldn't go lower! But yeah, I'm here to support you!

    Welcome to MFP

    Just popping in to say add me if you please. I don't comment often, but I post daily and have an open Diary. Shoot me a message and I'll be happy to answer any questions if I know the answer. I'm no professional when it comes to fitness or health but I know enough that it's working for me!

    Cheers!
