*waves hello*

I joined MFP a few days ago. I am currently feeling very motivated and am trying not to worry about the future when I might lose that motivation. My starting weight is 340 and my goal is 140. I'm on my fourth clean day.

Hi everyone,

My name is Sarah and I am new to this group. I am a mother of three and work full time. Looking forward to finding out about this group.

Hi I just recently found MFP and hope the love and support from my fellow members can help keep me motivated. I started at 313 pounds and now at 229 and struggling with every pound. It has been a long journey for me and I hope I can help others as well as myself.

Hi There! My name is Rayme. I'm 35 years old and live in central Pennsylvania. I joined MFP awhile ago, but just got serious with it again this week. I've downloaded the app and am tracking everything (good and bad).

I'm a 911 telecommunicator so I work odd hours and spend my whole shift sitting at my console. It makes my journey a little harder for sure but I'm determined not to let it be my excuse any longer. I'm looking for some new friends to keep me on track and motivated.

Hope to talk to all of you soon!

Hi,

My Name is Johnny and I am 26. I live in the east central Illinois. I am a Sales Manager for a big box store here and have recently went to this job from a very physically active job and have found it extremely hard to combat my weight. As it stands right now I weigh 359lbs. I have never been that heavy before.

I found myself making a transition into 3x clothing an it really saddens me. My current goal is to get out of the 300s all together. This would put me back at the weight I was in high school and a little of my freshman year of college. I think that with the muscle mass that I have I could never get into the 100's but I also kinda think that I don't want to. My ultimate goal is to be around 225-235 area.

I am a frequent binge eater. I can go all day with dieting and making healthy choices but once I am at home alone at night I just pile it on. I am scared because I am now closer to 400 than I am 300. I also watch all of the weight loss TV shows and am now seeing people who are my weight on them. I am really not near as big as them in size but my weight is. I can make the transition intot he 200's I HAVE TO. I have a big box full of regular XL band t-shirts that I had from high school and I really want to get back into them

Hey all!

Name's Izzy, I am 23 years of age. I live in the northern suburbs of Illinois.I started this 'journey' on July 28th of last year, at 363lbs. Last time I checked (a week or so ago) I was at 302.2. I'm looking forward to being under 300lbs, where I haven't been in years. My highest weight was about 378. It's been a hard struggle but I'm sticking with it. My goal at the end of this month is to be under 300, even if it's 299.8 I will take it as reaching that goal.

Through all of this my eating habits and cravings have changed immensely. Fast food no longer appeals to me and things like iced coffee or soda are now too sweet and make me feel ill. What I eat isn't always perfect, but I have fruits almost daily and spinach is basically daily. I drink loads of water and try to exercise about 6 times a week if possible for at least 25 minutes. It's been very emotional- I am more self conscious now than I was back then, but it's baby steps!

Oh, and I enjoy music and video games. Currently obsessed with the Mass Effect trilogy, thus my username.

Looking forward to this!

Hi All,
I'm Jenn, I'm 31 and I have some major goals to achieve! At my heaviest I was 375, I joined MFP and with diet / exercise changes I dropped 50lbs. However, I gained most of it back. At 340 I decided I needed to start again, so here I am. I've been active on MFP for the last month and I am starting to lack motivation. My first goal is just to get below the 300 mark, I haven't been there is sooooooo long. Tracking is helpful but I think I need to take more of an active community role so feel free to friend me!
Things to know about me: I am a huge nerd! Movies, video games, books, I will watch, play or read anything. I am a former pastry chef and have a serious sweet tooth. I love my dogs, the ocean and the color orange.
