in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,

This is my second day on the site and my first ever post. I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure because of my weight and I am now sufficiently motivated to do something about it. I joined and the encouragement of my fiancé, who has been a MFP member for many months now.

I want to lose 40-45 lbs, but do not want to use any gimmick diets to allow my weight to yo-yo. I want this to be a permanent lifestyle change. My job keeps me sedentary, but I am soon starting a light workout regiment and build up from there.

I am looking for some friends and encouragement as I start this journey.

Thanks!

    I'm pretty much in the same boat. My job (I work in a call center) keeps sedentary most of the day and I've using MFP for a few months. However, I'm just starting to post on the forum. I would love to support any and everybody on their journey.

    I'll fire through a friend request now.
