New here!!

Hi. I am Lynn and I am new here too. I heard about the site from a natural weight loss page in fb. I am a yo you weight person who generally gains in the summer and loses in the fall (I am a teacher and lose when I go back to work)... except I moved states and haven't worked steady for 2 years and the weight slowly krept up and didn't come off until I substituted for 2 months and started a 30 day exercise challenge to tone with my boyfriend (we are on day 11). I do not know my weight at this time, but I know my clothing size is almost back to all of my professional (and smallest) clothes - from 16 down to 12/10/8 depending upon the pants/skirt. I am worried about the summer and if I don't have a job, so I am trying this site to finish the rest of my weight loss and to keep it off hoping that with the help of technology and friends - I will hold myself more accountable. :flowerforyou:

Hi, I am Katie and relatively new as well. I am still trying to figure out the whole weight loss thing. I have always been on the heavy side. I gained weight while pregnant and never lost it. I was also recently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and take medication every day. The whole reason I have decided to loose weight is so I can hopefully get off the medication. I HATE taking pills everyday. I would love to be a friend so we can support each other through this journey.

Hi I'm Steve, coming up to 50 this year and decided it was time to get my weight down. I was weighing in at 265, when a co-worker recommended a weight loss clinic here in our home town of Hamilton, Ontario. I was told about MFP through the clinic as a way to track calories. I am happy to say that I have lost 20lbs already and working hard to get under 200lbs. Looking to chat with other trying to lose the same and maybe share some ideas.

I also have a crazy work schedule in which I don't have a set schedule. It can be challenging to fit in a workout. Perhaps we can motive and support each other.

Hi! I am Aindrea and since turning 44 last month, the middle age spread has caught up with me. It is time for a change. My daughters were very active in sports and wished I had that dedication for my body. My sister and I joined MFP to encourage each other and make new friends. My schedule is pretty much eat, sleep, workout and study for my CAC (certified addiction counselor) III. I look forward to hearing from everyone.
