Hi all,

My name is Sasha and i'm new to my fitness pal.
Joined Weightwatchers in 07 and lost a fab 4 stone, but since then i've managed to put it all back on plus some :(
Now it's time to get serious so i'm losing weight for the 2nd time around, i'm refusing to join a slimming club as I want to be able to do this by myself.

Please feel free to say hi and introduce yourself.

Sasha

    Hi Sasha,
    My name is Christel. Welcome! This is my 2nd time around as well. I was on this site last year, but then I once again let life get in the way. I am hoping to keep consistent this time! Good luck with your efforts and Happy New Year!

    Welcome back, Sasha! I've been around the MFP block a few times and haven't come close to goal yet, but I'm a daily logger and here to cheer you on! Feel free to add. : )

    Happy New Year!

    Hi, I'm Melanie. I'm a 27 year old medical case manager. I hav one child (a 6 yr old boy). My goal is 170 lbs. I haven't been under 200 in 10 yrs. Last year I came thiiiiiiis close (I was 201 lbs), but now I'm up to 218 lbs after the holidays. I REALLY want to lose the weight and FEEL better about the way I look. Good luck all!!

    hi Melanie,

    I know that feeling, i'm over 200lbs and have been for about 2 years.
    I'm hoping for 180lbs and we'll see how I feel once I'm there, i'm definitely going to use the forums more as eveyone is really encouraging which will help me to stay motivated.

    Good Luck everyone!!

    Hi Sasha,

    I'm Sam & I've added you as a friend - it's great that we can all motivate each other on here!! I know I need the support too - I'm over 200lbs which just makes me feel awful so I want to drop to about 140lbs & I'll be well happy :-) We can do it!! :-)
