in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone...just started this past week...loving this so far...am finding myself motivated AGAIN...it's been a long time. My daughter introduced this site too me and now I'm hooked...would love to add just a few women my age to help with support. I am turning 43 this June and have gained a lot of weight this past 2 years...STRESS will do it to you!! Have always been in shape...have always lifted weights and eaten good but after loosing everything we had 3 years ago I have turned to food for "comfort"...NOT GOOD!! My weight as of this past week was topping 200 lbs...NEVER in my life did I think I would weight that much! I have a goal of 56 lbs...PRAYING I REACH IT!! I want to feel pretty again and enjoy myself in my 40's...right now UGH!! LOL...would love to hear from a few of you women who understand were i'm coming from...THANKS!!!

    Hi! I'm new to MFP too. My daughter in law got me to join. I am really liking the food diary. It helps to keep me on track. Good luck to everyone. We got this.

    Feel free to add me as a friend as well!! I have been using MFP on and off for the past year, and decided I need to really stay with it this time! I too am over 200 lbs - never in my life did I think I would ever be this heavy! I was always thin growing up, even after having 2 children I worked out all the time and was a size 6/8. Now I am an 18. I do NOT want to get any bigger so am determined to stick with eating clean and exercising!

    Feel free to add me! I'm 45 and just reached my goal weight last week (lost 19 pounds). This is my first week on maintenance so we'll see how that goes. So far I've had great success on MFP and met lots of wonderful people. Welcome!!

    Welcome. No worries. You can reach your goals. When I stepped on the scale at 188 lbs I had a wake up call. MFP has helped a great deal in my journey to burn the fat and limit my intake.

    Glad you found the site! I'm turning 45 next week and am determined that this year I WILL get to my goal weight. I started about where you are - weighed 196 in April 2011 when I joined. I've had success on MFP and made lots of friends. I'm pretty hardcore on exercise and food right now. Feel free to peek at my profile, and add me if you want. Good luck in meeting your goals!
