Hi I'm Ann I hit 315lbs this year and decided I'd had it! I was going to make a change. Starting the middle of Jan. This year I've been exercising and counting calories galore and I've lost 12 lbs. But I'd like a buddy support system and thought I'd come here. I do the gym and light cardio at home 6-7 days a week. I'm planning on losing 50 lbs this year. 10lbs at a time I'll celebrate. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Congrads to everyone's coming success!

    Hi, welcome! I started in January as well and I have a lot of weight to lose. Feel free to add me as a friend. I try to be supportive to all of MFP friends. It sounds like you are off to a good start.

    Welcome Ann!
    Good for you on your 12 so far :)
    Short term goal like 10 lbs are an excellent idea! You've got the right attitude for success.

    Hi there! Welcome! I started (again) on January 8th. It hasn't been easy, but I am finding MFP really helps, as well as logging and having an open diary. Anyone feel free to add me.

    Good luck I was also over 300lbs (318) to be exact. I started going to the gym almost everyday and eating right. I actually eat more now that I eat healthy and am loving the results.

I have officially lost right at 30 pounds with hust calorie reduction and an occassional work out. I plan to start woriking out more consistently. Feel free to add me if you would like and we will do this together!
