Fresh Start

I am brand new to all of this and so far sooooo good. I could always use extra support especially awesome people near or in Rochester! I am looking to shed 70lbs! Is there anyone out there with a success story or hell even a story of their journey anything will help!

    Best of luck to you as you start this journey! MFP is a great tool with many resources, and people for motivation. There are SO MANY wonderful stories and picture logs to help you stay motivated.

    I just relocated to Rochester in the Fall, and am learning my way around this place!
  • Thanks! Welcome to Rochester! Congratulations on your 16 lbs :) If you don't mind me asking what was your weight and height? I am 5'4 and 270 pounds :( I am lucky and work for the Y so I am able to use a membership to the gym which for me is a large help. I would love to find more people and make some new friends on this mission!

    I am just under 5'3" and presently 249....so we are pretty close.

    I have been contemplating joining the Y, or Planet Fitness, I just need to know that I won't be wasting my money, and not going. My b/f does CrossFit, but I KNOW I can not handle that stuff yet. There is no way!

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!
