Hi, my name is Veronica Santos and I have just joined my fitness pal. :)

I am 21 year old female and my goal weight loss is 30 pounds in 15 weeks. I have no close friends using this app and most of my family and friends are opposed to me losing this weight and don't think that I can do it. But I need to grow, move forward and change my lifestyle. I also need to defeat the biggest obstacle in my way to reach my goal weight: MYSELF. I really think this app and this community will help me.

But I need friends, motivators and a support group to help me get through! So if you are a fellow MFP user, and looking to help a girl out on her journey to weight loss (and proving everyone and herself wrong). Feel free to add me as a friend and we can team up and motivate each other in this journey to weight loss together!

More than willing to provide support, motivation and healthy tips/tricks I learn along the way.

Hope to meet some really great people. :)

Cheers and thank you!

Veronica Santos

    Hi welcome to MFP. This is a wonderful site & aside from that there are tons of people including myself who lost weight (I never expected to actually be slim & have a 26" waist since I was 12)

    Feel free to add me :)

    Hi, my name is Kimberlee, 49. I am on here everyday and have learned so much along my journey and am always happy to share what I have learned. You can feel free to message me any time and please feel free to add me for support and motivation. I have an open diary and try to stay under goal, but I do slip up from time to time. I know that you can do this and prove everybody and yourself wrong. I am out to prove my family and doctor wrong.
