Hi,

my name is Felix and i'm a 22 years old student from Canada. I'm not new to myfitnesspal, I used it 2 years ago and managed to lose 40 pounds. However, since then I stopped, went back to my old bad habits and gained it all back...

I currently weight 240 pounds (the highest I have ever been is 250) and 2 years ago I had managed to get to 205. I've been yo-yoing ever since...I'm beginning to have many health issues (diabetes, knees, stomach...etc) and I decided that it was time to change for real ! I'm not happy, not healthy and not really enjoying life all because of my weight.

My long-term goal is to lose 50 pounds and subsequently replace it with muscles and get under 15% bodyfat (I currently am at 35.5%...).

I never had friends on myfitnesspal but I think that it could definitely help me stay on track and dedicated !!! So, feel free to add me and hopefully we can motivate and inspire each other :)

thanks !

    Welcome back! I just got back on MFP too - I lost 15lbs a year ago and subsequently gained it all back (and then some) due to stress at school.

    Feel free to add, we did it before and we can do it again!

    Felix I'm new here, but not to dieting. I too gained back everything I lost from last year too.

    I'm fought another dependency for years, with many a failed attempts, and just now have 10 years dependency free. So I'm here to tell you you can change your life! It's hard work, but not imposable. Don't ever give up.

    You can count on me, I'll friend you now. Feel free to contact me if you need support.

    Reaching out for help is a smart move. Keep up the good work!

    Douglas
