in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My name is Ashleigh and this is my 2nd go round on MFP... Ive a member for a while but never really made use of the site on a consistent basis... Sunday morning I sat in my living and thought: I'm tired of being fat... I'm tired of feeling so tired and weary from just walking up 3 flights of steps...im tired of going to the mall and only having 2-3 stores I can shop in! Im tired of having to wear certain clothes a certain way so you cant see those rolls... I am 5 foot and my highest weigh in was 385 lbs! That's crazy! Ive lost a total of 100 lbs but I am still 135 lbs away from my healthy goal weight! And this time on MFP I want to make lots of fit friends for new healthy recipes, work out plans and support!! So please... add me as a friend and lets gooooooooooo!

I just had a birthday last friday and realized my next one is an completely different decade....I dont want to go into it feeling bad about my health. Feel free to add me as a friend, I could use all the support I can get. Have a great day and good luck.

    This is my first time with MFP and so far I like it much better than WW. I'm celebrating my 35th wedding anniversary this summer (August) in Hawaii and I want to feel good in my bathing suit. Loosing weight is hard but easier with accountability partners who encourage. You can count on me :)

    Each day is a new battle for me. I am here to offer any help and support I can give and I need all that I can get as well. I have a total of 120 lbs that I need to lose. 2 lbs a week is my goal. So far, I haven't had much success. I like MFP. I am still learning it though. I am really new. Please, any of you, add me as a friend. Lets all help each other in this journey.

    Hey I am a second timer also!!! Congrats on your weight loss.I am really ready to get this weight off me for good. My blood pressure is in a world wind of stupid!!! 138/180 ughhh! and the other day I became so fed up and depressed with myself. I went to a water park only to be told i had to get weighed to make sure i met the 250lbs weigh requirment for their water slides,I currently weight 280lbs so i knew i couldnt get on and i refused to let them weigh me in front of other riders to be humilated, so i just walked away. I was so appalled and hurt. I spent the remainder of the afternoon by the lockers waiting on my family to finish enjoying themselves. I literally felt bad I went in the bathroom and cried. I have been plus size majority of my life tried every diet you can think of and still is im currently doing herbalife, consistanly now. My blood pressure is ALWAYS high as hell and before i lose my ability to function or my life, change is in order. plus its making me insecure in my relationship im always thinking if i dont lose weight my dude will cheat on me, and even thought he is very supportive I am secretly destroying my self with the thoughts. I have a son i want to see grow up!!!I I am rEfocusing on making a better ME I HAVE NO CHOICE ANY MORE!

    I've just started doing this a week ago, so I'm really a newbie at this. I've met so many nice people. The more friends the merrier! It makes it much easier to keep on track and stay focused.
