Just looking for some people to share my journey with...

Hey there! I'm 24 and just started my life changing journey on 5/24/13. I've been down this road before but something about this time seems different. Not sure what it is...just a feeling, I guess. I know it will be different. Anyways, I'm just saying hello and looking for some buddies to share my journey with.

    Hi, A friend request has been sent.
    Welcome to MFP. My name is Yvette and you can reach your goals by changing your mind to change your life.
    I like the saying "It won't be easy, but the outcome will be well worth it"
    Also the saying that says "everything in life worth having, is worth fighting for."
    We need to fight for our happiness, because everyone deserves to feel and be happy.
    I have battled being obese all my life. Losing weight and gaining it right back. I started at 227lbs and my current weight is 164 lbs. I am striving to meet my goal and lose the last 14 lbs of my weight, but I know that I have to continue this lifestyle forever if I don't want to ever return to the old me.
    I am on here a lot to keep myself motivated and give support and encourgement.
    Lets encourage and help one another on this weight loss and fitness journey to a healthier us.
  • I feel the same way! So many times I have tried, done good, then fell off track, got discouraged and gave up. But like u I feel this time is gonna be different! Im taking baby steps and setting smaller goals and surprising myself every day! Add me if u want.

    Welcome to MFP, the social aspect of this site certainly helped me get to my goal. I never would have thought something like this site, the news feed, messae forum, and a great group of friends could have made as much difference as it did. Anyone can feel free to add me. I am on everyday and usually post to the feeds quite a bit. (I don't post as much when I am traveling)

    Hey there. I just started this 107 lbs. to lose journey on 4/26/2013. It is hard work but I am willing to put forward the necessary effort, my body is throwing obstacles in the way of the exercise half but I am dealing with it so far. Progress has been going well with me a little over half way so far but the further I go the slower progress is becoming.
    I would love to be your encouraging friend. Friends request sent if you are interested.
    58 lbs. down and 49 to go.
