in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone,

My name is Alonzo. I live in Michigan (Go Blue). I have struggled with my weight my whole life but will always fight. It would be nice to meet poeple who are or were in the same boat. Maybe we encourage one another.

    Hi Alonzo, welcome :) I use to weigh 350 lbs and now I am 166 lbs. So it is still a fight to be healthy and fit. The encouragement and the motivation from everyone on here keeps you pushing. If you need an extra buddy feel free to add me :)

    Feel free to add me too!

    I've used MFP in the past to go from 318 lbs to 177 lbs.

    I'm back again because I had a high-risk pregnancy and gained 70lbs.

    Now I'm ready to lose it.

    I'm honest, I don't sugar coat things, I expect the same from my MFP friends. I log every day and I comment on almost every post.

    Always,
    Tricia

    I would have to say the most motivational, encouraging, and supportive friend I have is DontStopB_Leakin. She has changed the way I look at workouts and eating. I don't know where I would be without her :flowerforyou:

    Incorrect.

    Also, I'm no longer accepting FRs.

    Feel free to add me, I havent been in your shoes but I have a friend who was well over 300+ lbs and after seeing his mom pass away due to being severely obese and not properely taking care of herself, he made a complete 180 and made a lifestyle change for himself. Having a great support group makes all the difference whether it comes from family and friends or complete strangers. Keep it up!

    That's really inspirational Nadia I'm happy you accomplished so much. I'm not quite where I want to be and these forums have helped me stay motivated and on track.
