in Introduce Yourself
Hi,
soooo, I just moved to a new area, states away from home. Im seeking for someone (even plural, people) to confide in through this process. I am 5'2 and 205 pounds (yuck). I'm trying to lose at least 80-90 pounds but everytime I start, I give up. I need motivation, someone going through the same or similar situation as me. We can keep eachother on track regarding exercise, eating (i often have urges to eat what im not supposed to) and even just emotional support. Big life changes are coming and I don't want to do this entirely alone. Tell me there's somebody out there to help me reach my goal! :)

    feel free to friend me =]

    My name's Hannah and I'm 24. I've been overweight my entire life, obese for most of it actually. I'm done about 100 lbs from my heaviest but I still have at least 30 lbs to go.

    good luck!

    Hi! I too have been overweight/obese my whole life. All my childhood pics are me (chubby/rotund) next to a small thin child.. :grumble: sigh.
    I love the motivation and accountability I feel with my friends on MFP and love to see my newsfeed at the end of the day. I log daily and comment often! I'll try to help you in any way I can. Feel free to add me too! :smile:

    I'm just starting too, but I managed to drop 10 lbs before starting here (high weight was ~ 200 lbs). The best advice I could give you so far, is that there will be hungry days...but it passes. Feel free to add. I have been, and plan to continue to be very active.

    I've typically been on the heavier side for as long as I can remember. I'd love to motivate and in return be motivated :) Best wishes!
