in Introduce Yourself
Hey I'm fairly new here, I joined about a month ago. I'm 21, almost 22, and I decided to give MFP a try since I'm tired of being so out of shape. I've attempted weight loss in the past but now going into my last year in college I really want to commit and improve my health.

I'm trying to lose my extra pounds for good, over 100 of them, and get into the best shape possible. Anyone else on the weight loss journey who also wants motivated friends feel free to add me!

    I've been here about 2 days. :tongue: and its working pretty good. Good tip for weight loss is: ....... water. Drink lots of it. I did that and in the first 8 months I lost 30 pounds. Of course I ate anything and everything and never exercised that entire time. but imagine. With lots of water, patience, and determination, the weight literally melts off. One step at a time, or you could be like my dad who has flabby leftover skin :ohwell: Hope you find your motivation. Still looking for mine...... Adds are welcome

    Hi there, I'm new to MFP, and like so many I am eager when I start, but after a week I get lazy and do not follow thru. I hope to connect with others who struggle with making good habits, and keeping them and maybe I have some motivational words for you as well.

    That's awesome. Wish I'd done this when I was your age! But I guess there's no good time in your life to let your weight hold you back. It's never too late. :)
    I've struggled with my weight since I was 11 years old and finally feel like I'm on the right track. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Just go to their profile and click on the "add as friend" button :)

    Unless you are on the mobile app, I'm not sure how to add friends on their. I couldn't figure out how so I log onto the website from my laptop to add friends.

    I'll send you a request and hopefully is will let you accept it! Thanks for the good luck wishes, good luck to you too!
