Hey. My name is Katie. I'm new to myfitnesspal. I started Jan. 22. I love the app. I set it up for a pound and half a week weight loss. I hope an overall goal of losing 80 pounds. My first goal is to lose 18 pound in 12 weeks. Just in time for my beach trip! :bigsmile:

I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. I have failed quite a few times sticking to a weight loss plan. I really want to reach my final goal of losing 80 pounds. I have a 6 month old daughter and I dont want her to grow up with an overweight mommy with no energy. I really hope I stick with it!

    I'm sad to say I strayed from the app. I have a new motivation. I have FSGS, a kidney disease. My doctor said I have to aggressively lose weight. I have 80 pounds to lose. I can't play around I have to lose the weight. I'm looking for friends on the app to share support on the weight loss journey. I'm NOT looking for people to sell products or services just need friendly support.

    HI Katie :) Nice to meet you. I am sorry about the diagnosis but this app honestly is the best thing I have found to help me. It helps keep me accountable and the friendly people here are great also. :) I wish you the best and if you would like send a fr so we can motivate each other.
