in Introduce Yourself
Hello, all! I'm nearing my 500th day in a row on mfp and I am in need of some new buddies! The ones I have are great, but nobody comments on anything I post! I'm looking for members who are supportive and willing to discuss various aspects of this weight loss journey with me! I'm still losing, but I've lost over 100lbs!! Help me reach my destination while I help support you on your journey too! I'd love some people to share progress, ups and downs, goals, and milestones with!!!

BTW - My personal description is from when I first joined! I haven't changed it because I like looking back at where I started. It feels so good to be in a healthy place (even with the inevitable bad days and weeks thrown in).

    Hi there! I just started MFP a few days ago, and am ready and willing to give/receive support.. Please feel free to add me :)
    By the way, you're doing an awesome job! Its a life-long commitment, I know. I lost 100 lbs. about 10 years ago, and for me its still a struggle to keep it off. Keep up the good work!

    Wow, great job maintaining your loss! My biggest struggle is to resist binging and totally going off the deep-end. About 4 years ago I lost 90 lbs and got down to 138. I celebrated by going back to my old eating habits and gaining it all back! It was embarrassing and difficult to deal with mentally. Even so, I think I learned a lot from the experience and I'm working really hard to stay positive and remember that this is a life-long journey, not a race to a finish line.

    Great job! Yes, it's really hard maintaing and keeping it off. Unfortunately, it gets even harder as you age. It's a really good thing that your tackling this and realizing that it's a life-long journey at your young age. You're body will thank you for that when you get older :)
