Hi Everyone!

My name is Krystal was born in the Bronx and am currently back in the Bronx. Well really my apartment is half Bronx half Yonkers hoping I will not get kicked out because of that I am 27 and I work for a major non profit. I am looking to lose about 90 pounds, make healthier food choices and become more active. I am also looking for some support in this journey. I have tried to go at it alone and I was unsuccessful. If I could find a buddy with similar goals or maybe someone who has "been there done that" to provide tips and motivation it is greatly appreciated.

Hi, living and working in Midtown. looking for some MFP friends to keep me motivated! feel free to add

Hi all. I'm a 43yr old single mom who wants and needs to get healthier. I am at the highest weight I have EVER been and it is causing me great physical and emotional pain. I would like to find positive support and maybe even a workout buddy to help me on my journey. I live in Brooklyn feel free to send me a message

Hi all! I'm Nicole, 31, mother of three gorgeous boys, and I live and work in Manhattan.

After a recent health scare, I have been trying to lose weight and get healthy. It's been going really well so far, but I am noticing I am losing motivation and the emotional eating is creeping its way back in. I am already down 41lbs from 205...33 of those lost after I joined MFP (I love MFP). I don't want to backtrack.

Feel free to add/message me.

Hi beautiful people,

My name is Krissy, 30 years old, proud resident of Bed Stuy, formerly the lower east side.
I love this program because I'm a little obsessive compulsive and it feels like a game to stay under calories. I also love getting the 'workout high' so I'm in the gym 6 days a week.
I got married about 2 years ago and loved my bride body but I fell off and gained ten pounds so I've been getting back on track for the past 3 months.
I am a student of alternative medicine, love body work especially reflexology. I think regular meditation makes it so much easier to stay healthy happy and motivated.
I also love having a few cocktails and eating pizza, so I'm no saint, just aspiring to be the best version of myself

Hello everyone my names Ashley.
I'm 21, from the bronx. starting weight was 271, CW is 265. I have been big all of my life, and was always looking for the right time and the motivation to get started on my weight loss. Until I realized, THERE IS NO RIGHT TIME!! So I got my a** up and did what I had to do. here I am 6 pounds less in 10 days

Hi, everyone. I'm Elizabeth (or Liz, but not Lizzie or Beth, lol). I'm 27 and I was born and raised in Queens (currently in Howard Beach aka the boonies). I've always had weight issues--at least it has always felt that way. I remember being 10 lbs overweight at 14 and having my gym teacher shame me for those 10 lbs because she claimed I should have been 140 and not 170 even though the average for my height was 164. Anyway, I would kill to be 170 now. My short term goal is 200, but I would love to make it to that 164 or less eventually. Since starting I noticed that my biggest problem is what I eat, especially Sodium, which I really need to cut down on--i was about double the recommended amount yesterday.

Anyway, I'm currently unemployed (I was working for a little while as a temp for an accountant, but tax season is apparently slow for him--I don't think he's very successful). I have a MS in Criminal Justice, but what I really want to do is write. I'm doing CampNaNoWriMo in April, and if you know what that is, you're probably as big of a nerd as I am.
