in Introduce Yourself
Hello all. I am looking to make friends on here. I had no idea about this aspect of mfp. I only had the app and it doesn't show this side. It seems like folks on here are super supportive and Lord knows I need it. I just started a couch to 5k this week and I am scared to death of what is to come but I want to see it out to the end so we will see how that goes. I have an issue with consistency especially with my diet. so that is why i am reaching out for friends. I figure it will help to know that other people are staying with it so i should too. Ok well, I guess that enough. Just reaching out for some friends so please add me:). Thanks in advance.

    I need to start back on the 5k. My sister did it a few months after having her first baby and now she is running 4 miles a few days a week and she was never a runner before hand. You, we, we all can do this. You will do great. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me-Philip. 4:13 With God ALL things are Possible Matth 19:26. You already have this in the bag :)

    Hello,
    I need friends on here for motivation and support. I have tried MFP off and on for awhile now, and my latest venture was a couple of months ago. I had some awesome friends and support, and I just quit. No excuses other than that. Health problems and a death in the family, so I used that as an excuse to quit taking care of myself. But, I have realized that I can't continue on this path, so I AM BACK. Now, I need to find my lost friends and/or make new ones. Please feel free to add me, and I will help you stay on track as well. I have 70+ pounds to lose and I am 46 years old. Thanks.

    Hello All,

    My name is Pixie. I am 30 Years old, 5 foot 2 inches, and 208lbs. Sad, Yea I know.

    I have been using MFP for a while now, off and on. Last year while I was unemployed I kind of threw myself into getting healthy and losing weight. I was 190 and dropped down to 175, by watching what I ate and working out. But I fell into a rut, Zumba got boring and that amount healthy food I could buy on a slim unemployment check was INDEED SLIM. I fell back into old habits.

    Since I have started working again, my compute has changing significantly. I use to catch the metro and would walk blocks everyday. My new job is not metro accessible. So I get in a car to get out of a car. Slowly I noticed the clothes that I have purchase while slimming down were not fitting the way that I were just a few short months ago.

    I've always been a plus size or full figured girl, with a hefty bust and proportionate hips. But while buying clothes these last couple of months. When I look in the mirror I no longer feel sexy and curvaceous I just feel WIDE. While my boyfriend loves me the way I am, I just feel uncomfortable. I have no energy to do anything, not even play with my boys. smh. So today I am taking a stand. I Plan on losing 70 LBS. And that's a BIG NUMBER. I will need HUGE SUPPORT. And this time around I will DEFINITELY be using this board to help me stay motivated.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. Cause I don't wanna fall short again.
