Please feel free to add me and I will give as much encouragement as I possibly can to help you too. I have been on this yo yo roller coaster for 20 years now and i"m ready to get off and be awesome!

    Hi Megan!

    Congrats on taking the steps to get your health and life back on track! I have been on MFP a little over a year now and i have lost 80 lbs ( gained 5 back so my ticker says 75) . It is a great tool to use but, ultimately it is all up to you.

    I have been heavy for the past 25 years and finally at 45 decided it was time to get my act together so to speak. I had high blood pressure as well and hurt everywhere from carrying all the extra weight around.

    I started by watching what i ate ( type and portions) and doing some cardio and then just went from there. Its not easy and there will be many days you will want to give up but, i urge you not to!! Allow yourself treats and days off but not many .

    It wont always be easy but it will always be worth it. If i can do it ( a confirmed food lover) then you can do it! Find exercise that you enjoy so you will stick with it. Good luck to you and you are welcome to add me if you like but i just ask that you read my profile before adding me to make sure that i will be a good fit for you.

    Ladyark!

    Hi Megan! Nice to meet you! My name is Sarah :)
    Just a little about me, I joined Fitnesspal almost a year ago, before my second child. I lost 25 lbs then got pregnant. So here I am again to loose the baby weight and this time I want to make friends here and have a little more support! So if you don't mind I'm going to add you :)
