recently a supervisor of mine told me about this web site.. so i decided to check it out and see how it goes for me. i am 29 years old and have been big all my life. pretty much everyone in my family is big! but i have tried diets before and i do go for about 3-4 weeks and then give it up. i currently weight 295 and although i know i will never be able to accomplish the ideal weight of 130lbs my personal goal is 200. i think the main reason i haven't succeded in the past was i don't have the motivation to do it myself i need someone there with me to call me and say hey lets go walking.... that way i don't put it off then never get it done. on another note i work 10 hours a day on my feet as a shift manager for fast food! when i get home who wants to go walking.. don't i get excersize at work.. so im hoping to give it a try and meet some great friends along the way...

    Well welcome and I think you will absolutely love this site. If you use it everyday, you will be surprised how many calories you truely take in and it holds you accountable for what you put in your mouth and the amount of exercise you do. Good luck along your journey.......

    Welcome Amber, this is a great site.. lot's of tips etc., It's kept me motivated for the past 6 months so it must be good.. My ideal weight is 120 lbs but I too will never reach that weight.. but as long as you are happy that's all that matters. You are obviously quite fit because you are on your feet a lot.. You will no doubt find the food planner really useful! Anyway good luck and welcome again to MFP!
