in Introduce Yourself
I started losing weight the day after I had my beautiful daughter. I started that day at 283 pounds. I was breastfeeding and eating 2000 calories a day until the end of January. I quit breastfeeding when I began a new bipolar disorder medication. When I stopped breastfeeding, I weighed in at 250 and continued with my 2000 calories. I lost 6 pounds in two weeks which put me at 244. I than redid my calorie intake and switched to 1300 calories (that MFP told me to do) and I lost 4 pounds the first week and 6 the next. I am now down to 234 pounds and I want to reach 144 pounds. I have 90 more to go.
I log daily and currently am doing a new diet where I eat lean meat, vegetables, fruit and I am trying to cut my bread intake.
I try to burn 300-500 calories when I exercise 5-6 times a week and I don't eat my burned calories.

I motivate my friends and I am very supportive and use no judgements on anything.

I message my friends, comment my friends and I have a lot of friends that I text on a daily basis. I hope that you can be on my friends list as well! :) I love having friends with the same goals as I have or are around my same weight.

Add me or reply if you want a request!

    I've been stuck in the same weight range (183-185) for the past couple of months. I just started myfitnesspal yesterday, and I hope this will work. I feel like I would need some encourgement from people who are "in the same boat" and that myfitnesspal is a great way to track the calories and exercise.

    You can add me if you want.! I just started MFP at 220 and would like to see myself get down to around 150ish. When I had my daughter in July of 09 I was around 330 pounds. I have come a long way since then. I love having new friends and I consider myself to be a good motivator. I log in everyday, most days more than once. =]

    That's excatly what I need-some motivation, especially exercising after a long day at work; I am a childcare teacher in a classroom of one year olds, and some days they wear me out. My weight gain was from some medication I was on combined with unhealthy eating habits.

    I can definitely use motivation. My initial weight was 275, I lost 100 lbs and then my mental health went south.....was diagnosed with bipolar and since then have managed to gain 75 lbs back! I'm stable on meds now and need to get back in the game! My goal is 6 times a week workout and today I burned just shy of 900. I'm just aiming for an hour workout and whatever it burns will be. I don't eat any of the burned calories back and try to stay around 1300-1500. Everyone can totally DO THIS!!
