in Introduce Yourself
:flowerforyou: I joined MFP April 19/13 and have lost 25 lbs. as of last week. I expect to be at this a while and can hardly wait to fit into smaller clothes. I also have osteo arthritis in both knees so walking can be quite painful. My blood pressure is too high and I have a slightly enlarged heart. If I don't loose some weight, I'm not going to live to see my retirement years. I encouraged by so many of the posts I've read and look forward to being a member of this group.

    Hi ~
    Welcome, I love this site and the support that everyone offers helps me a lot. This journey is long and hard but with support it can be fun and exciting. I'll send a friend request. It can be done! :smile:

    Good for you! This journey is a hard on, and I've been on it for a long time with no success. I'm taking it very seriously this time around, and while I may not be losing the weight quickly, I am trying to make changes that I can sustain long after I've lost the weight. Feel free to add me :)

    Hi there betty,

    Congratulations on your commendable success so far. This program, when used as designed along with the many helpful and supportive people here, has been invaluable to me, and I wish you the same success I've enjoyed.

    You've got this, good luck!:drinker:

    Hi Betty! Welcome to My Fitness Pal community! It's so great to meet you! Tell me, aside from food journaling (which is a BIG success factor for people seeking weight loss), what steps are you taking to lose weight?

    Yours Truly,
    Kim :)
