Hello!

I'm 24 years old and I've been strugling with my weight for all my life, but it has never been something that would put my life at risk, until I finished college I gained a lot more weight than it was normal for myself.
So, here I am.
On the most rigorous diet I've been through.

I saw a link to this site and I thought: "why not?" and was amazed at the tools to track my weight and the community support, and I'm really in need of support. My family tend to crash down on me if I fail and that's not what I need right now.

    Welcome. I am starting my 5th month on MFP and I love it. It's the best decision I have made in many years. I have lost weight with diets many times before, but it was never a lifestyle change. This time is different; it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good luck on your weight loss journey. Please feel free to add me as a friend; we can help motivate each other.

    MFP is my main source of support. You can do it!


    ....looking at your ticker, are you really planning to get down to 88.2 pounds? Is that right?

    Welcome to MFP!! :flowerforyou:

    Im quite a newbie aswell but this site has done wonders for me already and now i cant be without it.

    The support on here is beyond excellent. Im not one to talk openly about my weight loss to family or friends so im happy when i come on here and not judged for my goals.

    Hope you have a great time on here (im sure you will!). It will take time and effort to achieve what you want but i guantee you that this is one of the best ways to do it. Ive done most of the fad diets and i did lose alot of weight on them... but as soon as i stopped, the weight piled back on again. Since April time ive lost 18lbs and it was only about 2 months ago i got serious with it. MFP really keeps you in the right direction and gives you encouragment to eat correctly and exersize more. I feel a much better and healthier person for doing it, and im sure you will too. :smile:

    All the best xx

    PS: Not sure if your ticker is correct but going down to 88lbs is very very low. =/

    Thanks for the support! :)

    About my goal weight, yep, it was a bit wrong I always mess up when changing from kg to lbs but i just saw that the site do it auto. It still may be seen a bit low but I'm really, really short.
