Hello everyone! Here's my little intro, and i warn you, it's not much! Decided to join MFP through an amazing friend of mine. I'm about to turn 25 here in a few weeks and within the past year I've gained 10lbs. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I'd like to get my weight and health under control before I keep overlooking it/ignoring it and before I know it be 30 years old and 30lbs over weight. So, with that said, I'm here to begin a healthier lifestyle and looking for that steady motivation from others who are in the same boat!

    Yep, 10 lbs can sneak on you and your favorite pants no longer fit....then before you know it another 5 slips on, then another 5....it's good you recognize right away and are going to nip it!

    Great first start by joining MFP and Welcome! I also joined because I gained a couple of pounds; nothing profound..just enough that my pants didn't fit. I'm back in my pants and they're loose, but I want to make sure I have a little "wiggle" room, so I'm going to try to lose a little "extra" if it doesn't look to bad on me. :wink:

    Hi everyone.. I am just starting myself. I am 56 years old and need to lose 50 pounds. I have never been this heavy even during my pregnancy. I have been out of control and a sugar addict for quite a while and want to change my lifestyle. I am looking for support during my weight loss journey.
