edited January 29 in Introduce Yourself
I'm 49 years old and weigh 338 lbs.

I'm in the process of losing 200 pounds...ISO other men and women who, like me, have 150-200+ pounds to lose. (or who have lost it)

Looking to share the journey...ideas, strategies, experiences, support, humor...etc.

I'm hoping for a successful journey and I know I can't do it alone!

    Hi, my name is Amanda, when I started out in April I weighed 307, I have lost 32 lbs so far, my goal is to lose 125-130 lbs. I know I have a long journey ahead of me, the first couple weeks were hard,as I adjusted my calorie intake, but it is easier now. I am determined to keep working hard to make a difference in my life..... NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! Feel free to add me

    I have lost 201 pounds so far. It's been a difficult but very rewarding journey. I'm getting closer to my goal weight. I'm 6-0 in height. Just try to stay motivated to live healthy.

    Hi - I joined in April & I've lost 35#'s already! I log everything I eat & try to do some exercise - usually swimming or hiking - at least 30 minutes every day. My diary is open & I don't mind comments & questions on what I eat. I try to eat healthy foods & I don't have massive cheat days. It was all about portion control for me & MFP helps me with accountability. I started at 326# & my goal is 135 and I am super motivated to reach my goal by Christmas 2014 or sooner! Feel free to send me a friend request! We can do this!!
