    Hey, everyone! I'm Becky. I just got an invite to join this group from my pal MunkiMarie and thought I'd give it a try. Lord knows I can use some help! I lost over 30 lbs in my first 4 months on MFP and for the last 8 months or so I've just been gaining and losing the same 5 lbs or so. I need to get my but back in gear to lose another 30 lbs this year.

    I'm looking forward to weighing in on Friday and I hope to have some loss, no matter how small, each week of this month!

    Good luck everyone!

    Yay Becky I am so glad you joined!

    FYI guys! A little info on me... I have been overweight since Middle school. Last year I joined MFP and lost about 35 lbs between Sept and Jan. I gained between 10-15 lbs back and am not interested in gaining any more. I am ready to jump start my losing streak again! :)

    I weigh myself daily but am trying to break the habit.. Its been known to cause some psychological issues with me. I am hopeful that only logging on Fridays will help...

    My biggest goal is to stay positive. No matter what happens every friday when we hit that scale, I want to stay positive.

    :)

    Happy Losing!

    Hello All --

    I was on Vacation, so I forgot to say "hello"! I just came back from a cruise, so... yeah. Copious amounts of food and alcohol. I knew I'd probably gain, so I'm prepared when I officially weigh in again. So, this weigh in might be a slight gain or "even-steven" for me, and that's OK :)

  • Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite!

    My name is Alana, I'm 21 (22 on the 15thNov) and graduate from Uni on the 8thNov - so excited, especially for the graduation ball the day after! [Please excuse me if I get confused with dates on here, I'm from England and we do dates differently to those in the US! lol].

    I've been a member of MFP for about 2 years-ish; first attempt wasn't really successfull for me, didn't lose any weight and nothing happened. I went to the doctors a couple of months back as I'd been having some problems and they think I have the beginnings of either PCOS (poly-cystic ovaries) or endometreosis which would both, unfortunately, account for my weight gain over the years. I'm 5ft1 and so my weight automatically makes me look bigger than I probably think I look and feel. My doctor, after telling her what I'd done to try and lose weight, recommended I go on orlistat/xenical - I too feel like I'm cheating but if it's the only way I can get this weight off then I'll take it. I do eat healtily, always have done [obviously with the odd treat] and exercise occassionally during the week.

    I started orlistat on the 24thOct and in this week I have lost 5lb which is a hell of a lot more than what I would have done without it and just exercising alone.

    I use MFP to keep an eye on my calorific intake, as most of you do - although today, I have gone over as I was treated to pizza by my brother. But I will be making up for the naughty pizza eating with my exercise tonight!

    Thanks for reading!

  • Welcome, Glad you found us! We weigh in every Friday and will have a topic posted for that week, all prior weeks will be locked so no one accidentally posts in the wrong week and misses out on the Groups support :-) Any other topics are welcome, so If you have something to say, add, or question, feel free to start a new topic and let it fly.

    Have A Great Day!

  • Welcome Everyone!!! So glad you have joined us! Everyone's weight loss journey is different, but we are working towards the same goal. I know that I could NOT do this without the support from my pals. I have been on MFP for about a year now and have not lost ANY weight!!!! (In fact - I gained!) It was only recently that I changed my attitude, started this group & have been holding myself accountable. Since then I've lost about 4 lbs (which my ticker does not show because I was above my start weight). I've committed to this & will most definitely need ALL YOUR HELP!!! I have 50 lbs to lose & 8 months until my WEDDING!

    I'm here to support & welcome your support! If ever you are feeling down on yourselves, please message me & I will do what I can to give you a positive push!

    We can do this people!!!! =]
