Hi all! I am looking for some friends to support and who can help support me on my weight loss journey. I am 27 years old, 5'9", and currently weigh 291 lbs. (uggg, I know, terrible, right?) My first weight goal is 175 lbs. I know it will take a while but I also know I CAN do it!

    Welcome to your new life! I have been on MFP since the end of September, and have become addicted to it. I went from 333 down to 295, and wan to get to around 150 lbs. So we are have the same goals. We can do this together. MFP offers such encouragement, accountability, and the drive to keep going. I recommend adding as many people as you can, put your diary to public, and most importantly if you mess up on one meal, dont throw your whole day away. Remember it's one meal at a time, one diet at a time. This is all about a lifestyle change, not a diet!

    Good luck. When you meet your goal, go back to the mall and find that woman. Tell her, "I am hot and you still work at the mall."
