in Introduce Yourself
Hello, all!

My name is Melissa and I am a 20 year old college student that attends Ball State University- GO CARDINALS, CHIRP, CHIRP!

Looooong story short I love helping and supporting people. I am a real fat girl that is on her way to becoming something that I never dreamed possible until 12.24.2011- the day my fiancé asked me to marry him. :) I know! He's the best and most importantly- he believes in me.

I want to walk down that aisle with my old friends that haven't seen me in pure shock of my transformation. And most importantly, I want to make his knees weak at the thought of where I was and where I am(will be). 8.16.2016 here I come!

I, like many of you have gone through diet after diet and given up- that being said I know that there are some days of struggle ahead. I need some people to push me and support me by liking the things that I do, messaging me, anything! This is a journey and I am willing to hold your hands along the way!

Keep going!
-Melissa

    Congrats Melissa, I was born and raised just a little Northwest of there and Love and Miss Indiana. This site works, it works great I am proof. Since Jan I have lost 105 lbs. I am not special, i do not kill myself working out, I do not run. I eat normal food and even have desert. Follow the MFP guidelines and you will find success. God bless

    Hey Melissa
    My date is still TBD but I think it is great what you're doing! I met my sweetheart in the process of my weight rollercoaster journey and it's amazing to know you have someone who loves you for you, because it makes ALL the difference! I just wanted to tell you that if you need or want any advice or support I am totally here because I know where you are coming from! You are beautiful no matter your shape, but it's such a great feeling to love the skin you're in! Stay motivated girl!
