in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys. Today's the first day of the rest of my life. I'm 18 years old and I weigh 17stone. I plan to loose 100lbs and need all the encouragement I can get. I really hope this site will help to change my life.

Feel free to add me :)

    If you want to lose weight then you're in the right place! I first joined this site over a year ago but didn't feel comfortable posting. This year I've decided I have nothing to lose (- except weight!) and it has made a difference already. I feel more accountable especially since I now have some MFP friends. You can DO THIS! One day at a time, each day closer to your goal. We are here for you x

    Greetings and salutations.
    I started this two years ago and did nothing with it. Lost 20 pounds even so, gained 12 back over a very long winter in Minnesota. So you can see one of my issues (WINTER UGG). So, my hope is to develop friendship support and accurate accounting with food and exercise. I also am well aware of the emotional components that are like little saboteurs swimming in the habitual neuro-pathways of my brain telling me ridiculous things that make me want to take that THAT EXTRA BITE. I may blog more about that as I go, kind of a dear diary reporting of food, exercise and dealing with those unruly emotions that crop up.
    Acupuncturist - Massage Therapist - Feng Shui Consultant by trade so honestly, this spare tire does not exactly support my passions and careers.
    Goal is to lose 18 pounds and see how it feels then determine the next step. And oh yeah, KEEP IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Let the fun begin!

My immediate goal is to break 200 by my birthday in July... For some reason that number just haunts me.. but no more!! I look forward to learning from you ladies and let's support eachother.. ! Feel free to add me as well! Let's DO THIS!

    Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards a NEW beginning!!
