I would like to say hi to everyone and hoping to get support from this website. Looking forward to motivation.... I had previously lost over 50 lbs. but then was laid off and now I gained almost all of it back. My husband finally got hired and is sweating at his jobs like crazy, so I guess that is what jumpstarted me to a healthy lifestyle again, I dont want to be the fat one :)! We can loose together at the same time. Diabetes and high blood pressure runs in my family, so that is another motivation, I want to get healthy to avoid these illnesses.....

    Hi,

    I'm new, too. In the past, I've lost weight with weight watchers (twice became a lifetime member), but always seem to gradually gain weight back. I'm now 44 and finding the weight gathering around my middle - I used to have a waist! I also now have high blood pressure. I'm about 25 pounds overweight, and would really like to get back down WITHOUT diets. Hope this will work. I have the app on my iPod, too.

    Welcome to MyFitnessPal!

    There is a ton of support here. And congratulations on deciding to become more healthy. My husband started with me when I began, and it made ALL the difference. It really helps to have the mutual support at home as well. When one is feeling weak... the other can help them be strong. Best of luck!

    I'm new too. Seems to be a pretty simple site and makes you accountable for what you eat. I too have previously lost a ton of weight only to gain it all back again!
