Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site and I am so glad that I found it. I began having a struggle with my weight after I hit 40. A lot of things all together changed my activity level and the weight started to creep up. Then the last two years have been a series of very stressful events that have led to me gaining about 20 lbs.

For awhile, my mental picture of myself was still slim and I just ignored that crazy mirror. But I am ready to face the reality now so that I can change it. I work in international trade so I am on the road a lot and eat out and stay in hotels which can make loosing weight a bit challenging.

I am also a classically trained lyric soprano and I have a performance coming up in December that I need to fit into an evening gown for. The clock is ticking and I've got the motivation now to do this! No more procrastination, LOL!

This situation just got me moving and my real goal is to learn how to eat better and get as fit as possible for me so that I am strong and healthy and able to continue with the demands of my schedule.

I hope to be able to encourage and support all of you and it would be so nice to find new friends on here. Please feel free to add me!

Blessings,
Nancy
Georgetown, KY

Hi I'm Mike, 31, not very active in my daily life. Looking to go from Flab-2-Fab!

Hi all

I'm from Lexington and looking to get myself back on a healthy track. I need all the new friends I can get!!!

Hi! I'm Megan, I'm in college and I'm tired of always being the "chubby friend" (that's the nice way to put it lol) I've been dieting since the first and have followed the Atkins diet about a week and have lost 5 pounds! I'd be lying if I said I didn't break it once haha. I could definitely use the support, like everyone else. This is hard, but who said it would be easy? Good luck you guys!

Hi, I'm Jim. I live in Lexington. Two years ago I weighed 350 pounds. I started walking, then jogging and weight came off steadily until I hit about 50 pounds. I slowed a lot after that and joined MFP about a year ago... I have now lost 100 pounds and ran my first 10k ever last summer. I still have a long way to go to reach my goals but I appreciate the opportunity to meet new people here dealing with similar concerns and the supports helps a lot. Wishing you all the best in your efforts; any and all are welcome to add me if you like.

I'm Gina. I am 33 with 2 young girls (5 and 7). I am a high school English teacher, hip hop coach for a mini all-start team, and zoo-keeper. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats that belong to us plus all the neighborhood animals that hang out here LOL!!!!!
I have a very petite build and never had any trouble with my weight until after baby #2. Been fighting for 5 years now I am not 'overweight' by measurements, but I am carrying some extra weight that I am not comfortable with. After logging my food for just a few days I can CLEARLY see why! Time to make some major changes.

Hi everyone my name is Helen. I live in Lawrence County. I'm 51 years old. Been married for 27 years. I need to lose weight. Like most of us that are on here. If anyone would like to add me to their friends list that would be ok. We all need to support each other on this journey to health.
