Hi! New to message boards! Could use some friends!

Hi, Gretchen! My name is Jennifer. I'm new to My Fitness Pal. I'm looking to lose some weight for several reasons. I used to be super healthy. I'd go to the gym 1-2 times a day 5-6 times a week. I walked a lot and I would go for extended bicycle rides and I watched what I ate. I got involved in a relationship with someone who eats out a lot and basically eats what he wants when he wants. I kind of fell into his habits when we moved in together. It's a year and a half later and I've gained 60 lbs. Right now I'm using Herbalife, mostly to balance out my nutrition and to get my used to eating smaller portions 5-6 times a day. Tuesday will be a week since I've begun. I'm not looking at this as a permanent solution, just something to retrain my body in what it already knows how to do. However, I'm thrilled to say that my boyfriend is doing it with me. It might take slightly longer for him to catch on, as he really hasn't tried to do anything like this before and he really needs it! I'm looking to add some friends on My Fitness Pal to support one another. At the moment, I only have two friends on there. It's nice to meet you. Happy early birthday to you. My big 4-0 isn't until January, but boy oh boy how time does fly

Hello, i'm Mike. I know the feeling. I lost over 100 lbs about 8 years ago and slowly put every pound back on. This is the first time since then that i'm serious about losing. I've lost 22 lbs in the past 47 days. Feel free to add anyone.

Hi there, I am Cindy, been on here 3 weeks now and doing well. I am no expert except when it comes to cheering others on.
Feel free to add me.

Hello, my name is Tabetha. I am mother of 3 boys 8,4,2 ( two play baseball) I have been serious with MFP since January and going to the gym 5 days a week min. had a minor set back on good Friday when my quadriplegic father totaled his car accident and totaled it spent two weeks in hospital. Down 18lbs.

Once making the change and seeing the physical change keep me in check during that time. I did go up a lb one week but that was is.

find people at home work to support you and here of course you can do it.

I found exercise the key to keeping off the weight I've lost. It's hard. It's time consuming, but I love that I still fit in my jeans. I love that my friends say I walk like and athlete. I love that a stranger said, "Look at those guns."
