in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I have been using MFP for two weeks now and I am looking for a bigger support group. I am a month and a half away from being 25 and I started the year out at my highest weight 402#!! When I see pictures of me I am so grossed out. I am a mother of a 1 year old and a wife of a loving husband. I want to finally get this weight off and live my life and not feel gross. If you are willing to push me along on this journey, I would be more than happy to have you as a friend. I need all the support I can get. No turning back this time!

    KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!!!! IM down almost 50lbs from my highest weight, I have another 100 + lbs i want to lose, and my support system is part of why i keep trying to win this battle. Work out, Be consistent and make good food choices. MY START WEIGHT was 317-320 and Im holding in at 273. I need to keep losing and I need all the support i can get. And I plan to support anyone willing to listen to me ramble! :D

    Hi...I need all the support I can get as well. I just started with the app today... I am about 268 lbs and Ive been steady gaining since I lost weight after surgery in 2008. I was down to 240 adn was feeling great. My ultimate goal is to loose 60 lbs. I want to see a size 18 or a size 16 again. I am now wearing a size 22 or a 3X. Well my friend encouraged me to try this app she lost 56 lbs using it. I posted on FB and a few others told me this was a great app to have and that they lost weight as well. I do alot of emotional eating and I have diabetes and high blood pressure so this is a matter of life or death and how long I will live...So I have to get serious. I have 2 kids 21 and 18 out of the house. Unfortunately, I am not in a great relationship so..... I need all the support I can get to keep it in the road and get fit for 2014.

    You can do it girl! no goal is impossible! it all starts with small changes, nothing drastic. little lifestyle changes. I am not saying that it is going to be an easy journey but I promise you it will be worth the sacrifice! Even when you feel you are too far gone from ever getting to your goal, don't give up. you'll have some good days, some great days, and some horrible and tough days. I am more than happy to give my support! I wish you the best of luck!

    If you would like to add me I would happy be your fitness buddy, when you start your journey first things first love your self first and foremost just the way you are, don't be too hard on yourself, I doesn't matter how big you are you should think and speak good words, positive affirmations will make your brain believe anything you want to just like when you hear bad things or thoughts you soak that up easliy and believe it, well same goes for good words and thoughts, the more say and think them the more you will trick your brain into believing it. You made the first step and now you just need to keep walking :) Good luck and I know you can do this :flowerforyou:
