Hey guys! I'm Jack-lyn... I'm from PA. I'm 23 years old. I work for Children and Youth, therefore I'm sitting a lot of time, considering the amount of paperwork we are required to do. I've been heavy the majority of my life, since I was 5 years old.. Each year I progressively get bigger. I just feel like it's time to break that cycle. Instead of gaining in the New Year, I'd like to lose! I just wanted to put myself on here for 1. the shock factor of really seeing what I consume in a day and 2. to get some support and a constant reminder.

    Hi, Jack-lyn! I just started using this site a few months ago, and I absolutely love it. If you need a friend or some motivation (because I know I do), then add me as a friend :]

    Welcome to MFP, I just joined a couple of month's ago and am becoming more active in the site because there's not just a ton of support but also great 'accountability partners' here too.

    Feel free to add me and all the best on your journey.

    Welcome! This is a great place for help, advice, and best of all the much-needed swift kick in the butt when we all inevitably falter off the wagon! We're all in this together, and there's no better way to tackle the tough journey ahead then with friends who are all walking down the same (or at least very similar) road! Feel free to add me if you'd like another buddy!
