( Laughing because this is my second time writing this... the first one mysteriously disappeared into tech. world somewhere... LOL)
Anyway.
I am so happy and blessed to be here. I have not known a day since the age of 7 that I was at a healthy weight or even close to being "in shape" and now, at the age of 21 I've finally decided its about time I do something about that (not that I haven't tried before) But I know that now is the time for me to really make choices and walk out the change I want to see in my life. So, Im here. i actually started this journey on monday by beginning to eat better and joining the YMCA. I've actually even lost a few pounds already (YAY). I just stumbled across this app. on my Iphone and discovered the website. Boy, am I happy I did. Im just excited to see what life might be like without loathing myself. ( just being honest)
Im happy to be here, not only to receive support and encouragement but also to support and encourage others. This place looks amazing and I cant wait to see everyones progress over the next months. So thank you all for being here... I know I appreciate it.
Yup, Im sure I wrote long enough. it was nice meeting ya'll !
Well.. Here I go....

Welcome to MFP, it has helped me nearer to my goal weight with the support from others on this same journey.
I hope you get as much out of the program as I have. All you've got to do is complete your daily diary as this will assist you in managing your meal intake as well as exercise regime.
Best of luck...:happy:
