    Hello! My name is Jamie :). I'm 21 years old, 5'1, and have about 88 more lbs to lose. I started MFP five months ago and have lost 53.5lbs, making my current weight down from 271lbs to 217.5lbs. I was definitely excited to start my weight loss journey. Feel free to add me and good luck on your journey!!

    What's up. I've been here for a while...but I still remember what it was like to start. For me, the idea of "Slow and steady wins the race" has really been reinforced and proven. As I've found to be true with distance running, picking a "pace" I can maintain over an extended period of time is the key to my success. I encourage you to "set a good pace" and then knuckle down for the duration. Good luck! You can do it. :smile:

    Hello! I just joined MFP as a supplement to another weight loss support group i attend. I'm looking for encouragement from others like me: women in their 20s who either started at 300+ lbs, or are currently somewhere in the 200-300 range. Its difficult to find sympathetic people who know what its like to deal with ignorance and negative social stereotyping from society. I'm new to this forum/website and how it works...so feel free to add me as a friend, send a kind word my way, etc. peace and blessings to you!

    I am also just starting out (again) in trying to lose weight, this year has been rough in some ways and I've made some great strides in parts of my life I needed to fix and now the time has come to dedicate myself to being, looking and feeling better physically.

    I just joined this site about a week ago and would LOVE any supportive friends to encourage and be encouraged by.

    Feel free to add me if you like!
