in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, I joined MyFitnessPal a few months ago, but I just started tracking my calorie intake about a week ago, and I'm feeling really good about things so far, and so I'm hoping to start making some connections in here that will help support me and that I can help support, in our weight loss journeys.

I am originally from Vancouver Island, but moved to Alberta back in 2001, lived in Edmonton since 2003 with my spouse and our troop of kitties, and we just moved out to Fort Saskatchewan at the beginning of April. I have been battling weight issues since I was about 10 years old, I was a very small kid up until I hit puberty, then I started gaining weight and haven't stopped since then, so it's about time for me to get this part of my life under control.

I am looking forward to meeting some new people and making connections with people that are fighting the same battle that I am. I can't wait to talk to everybody in here!

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. I've never been a petite girl (I haven't been under a size 11 since before 9th grade), but I'm working at it! I'd love to give you support, as I think it's definitely motivating :)

    Hi I'm Sue. I share the same thing. I opened the account months and months ago, but I just started tracking my weight 2 weeks ago. You can add me if you'd like. I'm from Montreal, Quebec living with my hubby in California. I've moved here err... I'd say 11 years ago... :-)

    Hi, you can add me if you like- a fellow Canuck- from Ontario. I have been a heavy girl all my life too. I did this before, but without friends. It works having someone else to report to!

    Same here, add me! I have been on this thing for a few months now and it really helps, but I've never used the social aspects of the site, maybe having a few buds will help me make progress. Good luck with your journey! :)

    Hello!

    Feel free to add me, I've been on here just over a month and have lost 8 lbs already. I was on here when I first started losing weight then got lazy (about 2 years ago), now back again to lose the weight and maintain it this time. I'm good at motivating and I log everything, even if it's a bad day I still log EVERYTHING. No use lying to try and cover up, it'll come out at the weigh ins!

    I'm in the same boat - joined here a while ago, and finally starting to get serious about it.

    I need to lose about 50 lbs. Ugh.
