in Introduce Yourself
My weight has currently peaked at 200pounds, which has been my heaviest to date. I'm only 5foot 2inches so every time I check my BMI OBESE comes flashing up into my face. I realise this is time for change and my ultimate goal is to lose 100pounds, I realise that this is not going to happen over night but I am 100% determined this time! I just need someone to chat to, some weight loss tip, exercise pointers and advice. Really I just need a good kick up the bum, or a good shake!

    Hiya, well you have come to the right place! I have lost 30lbs since joining MFP, its great to work out exactly what you are eating in a day and where you need to make changes...Also the forums are great for advice on everything! Adding friends is good too so you can motivate each other! Good luck, you can do it :-)

    Hi,

    Just joined too and am very excited. Somehow, entering everything I eat into the system, really seems to help me monitor and control my intake. Hope you are doing well. It is hard, but I bet if you thought about it, you have done other hard things in your life.
