in Introduce Yourself
My name is Megan and I am 19 years old. I am 5'4 and 218lbs. I have been on MFP for over a year, but have had a lot of trouble sticking to it. I was pretty confident I could do this on my own, but have come to realize that perhaps it's easier if I have a support system behind me, and vice versa. The main reasons I want to get healthy are to just be healthy and live a long life. To hopefully get over how introverted I am and to finally make some friends, and to be able to look at myself in the mirror and not be ashamed, but happy at what I've accomplished. I am not shy about being helpful and support, so don't hesitate to ask anything!

    add me by all means. i'm a couple years older (33) but i'm 5'5 and 216 so almost the same as you. i'm a month into a primal lifestyle that i hope i can stick with permanently so my food diary may look a bit odd, but any and all help and encouragement is welcome.

    I'm 26, and have been trying to diet off and on for about 6 years, I've never been able to keep the motivation to keep at it long enough for results.
    We can do it!

    Hi Megan, I am right there with you and we all need support and encouragement. Some days are easy to stick to and some days I feel defeated and want to give up.Thank goodness everyday brings a new choice. I have lost weight (27lbs) so far but am finding it difficult to stick to an excercise program of any kind. I applaud you for tackling this at 19, I am 38 and really wish I had done this when I was your age! Anyway add me as well and lets support each other on this life-changing journey.

    my biggest downfall is after 6pm when i come home from work. i can just go on and on eating. it is more like filling up the emptiness inside me rather than real hunger.

    Thank you! Don't worry, you will find one. I have also struggled to find one. We can do it, though, mustn't give up! I wish you the best of luck!
    May I just say I love you username. Koalas are my favorite animal!
