Hey,

I've been a yoyo dieter since I was in my teens and am now desperate to make some serious lifestyle changes and to solve my weight issue longterm... I'm 26, 5"2 and weigh 79kg (12st 6lbs)...

I registered for MFP on Monday and am actively using it to keep a food diary and will be registering for the gym next week so I can commit to regular exercise...

My goal is to reduce my weight to 57.2kg (9st)...

I am really keen to start this journey with others with similar stats and goals. I don't want this to be another fad so am really desperate for guidance, encouragement and tips and will offer the same in return.

Please add me...

    I just started with this program like a week a ago.I am apso a condlstant yoyo dieter since my teens.and constantly would starve mys elf but as you know doesnt work.I am also 25 and ready to make a life change.I dont wanna live the rest of my 20s obese.so sick of trying to look cute but not accomplishing much.ive realy noticed a difference in attitude about losing weight since I starded mfp so far ive use it for like a week and when I feel discoraged I go to blogs of people that have lost a tonnn of weight and look at there before and after pics.n tell myself I deserve that also.u also star learning that no matter how little you thought you ate u were still going over calories.this has really helped me.ive.lost 3.5 pounds so far.and this time I know is actuall fat n not just water weight.

    I have been using mfp for a few weeks now. Utilizing the tools on mfp and a renewed commitment to the gym, I have lost 2 1/2 inches off my waist, an inch each on my thighs and am 13 lbs. lighter. You'd think I'd still be motivated. But this week I hit a wall. I am exhausted and bored. I haven't been to the gym in the last five days. I've been eating fast food for dinner again. I fear getting on the scale again to see the damage done.

    But after stumbling upon these posts this morning, you four have inspired me again. I will not let the "fat me" keep myself from succeeding. I can't believe I gave her five days of my life back. It's the same ol' pattern I always fall into. But not this time. No! Not this time!

    I am comforted to see I am not alone. We can do this. We really can! I am back on board with finding the thinner, healthier me. I have 92 lbs. to go! Who's with me?

    So inspiring to find others on here, who have the same goals as me. I've been trying to lose weight the past few years and feel like I've spent so much time dieting and being fat that I'm missing out on "the best years". I'm really ready to just blow this fat away :D

    Feel free to add me. We can do this!
