I am 48 years old, and weigh 319 lbs.. I just discovered this site today, and from what i gleaned from the internet, it has been a success for many people. I am hoping to count myself as one of them. My plan is to log on here daily, log my food and exercise, and really get to know others like me to be supported by and to also support:) What i read about this site says that one of the major reasons it is a success is the support you get from befriending people, which makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and i look forward to getting to know you;)

    Hi There. I just joined today after a friend told me about the site. She has had excellent results. I especially like that you can tell easily how many carbs, fat, etc. you need to reach your goal. I am 43 years old and would rather not post my weight, but leave it to say that I have quite a bit to lose. I wish you the best!

    Welcome to MFP!!! I have struggled with food my whole life and I have found this site to work for me...

    The hardest thing is not lying to yourself. I struggled with being untrue to myself as to how much (portion) I actually ate. Once I realized how detrimental that was to my own success, I started succeeding!!!

    Good luck, you can do this, and never give up!!!


    My new favorite saying: If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up!!! :happy:

    Friend me if you would like to also!!
