Hi all! My name is Erin and I just turned 30 years old. I downloaded the MyFitnessPal app almost a year ago, but just started using it when I reached the most awful of milestones... I tore a hole in my jeans because they were too tight. And they were size 28, the highest most plus-size stores go.
Ordering clothes online because I'm too big for regular stores would probably be the lowest point in my life. I refuse to do it. So I've made a pretty significant effort to start eating well, and MyFitnessPal has really been a great tool to use. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and I've lost 8 lbs so far by keeping track of what I eat, setting realistic goals, and adding a bit of exercise into my otherwise sedentary lifestyle.
I'm hoping to meet people who are in a similar situation where we can encourage each other to keep going. My weight has gone up and down ever since I can remember, but a few weeks ago I was at my all-time high. I need to make a change that will last my whole life, instead of a year or two before I give up.
So that's it, I hope to speak to some of you soon!

Congrats on taking that first step! I can remember when my size 28's were to tight and I was reduced to only wearing things that stretch! It seems like a long road to go, but you will get there! I keep plugging away at mine. I still have another 70 pounds to go before I hit my goal...but hit it I will! :happy:0

Wow, that's impressive, great job! That's a good way of looking at it, I know I personally wish I had a quick fix but I know it's going to take a long time.0 -

Hi, can't say I ever tore my pants but I have felt like I had to jump off the roof of the house to fit into them at times. That is not a good feeling, so stretchy pants were next in line. If you are looking for a friend you can add me.0
