in Introduce Yourself
Hi All!!! I am new to MFP and have somewhere between 40-60 lbs to lose (depending on how I personally feel when I get to 40 lbs lost). About 3 years ago I was successful with a diet called Optifast and lost about 40 lbs but unfortunately I have gained back everything plus about 10 lbs. Im wanting to lose everything again and keep it off for good this time. Im following a much better diet consisting of real food rather than a full meal replacement regimine that the Optifast program was and have been working out 4-5 days a week that consists of both cardio and weights. So anyone in the same boat as me feel free to add me and we can definitely support one another in reaching our goals :)

    Hey there, I'm a 22 year old senior in college! I've lost a little over 40 pounds and hope to lose at least 50 more, so I'll be here for a while. I log everyday and would love to have some more friends. It always encourages me to see other people logging and exercising in my newsfeed. Anyone looking for new friends, please feel free to add me!

    Wow congrats on losing 40 lbs though that is still great. Having done it already once i know how hard it is and true dedication you need to achieve that. The encouragement I feel is always a huge part about succeeding, it definitely keeps you on the right track. :)

    Gaining back as well as heatlh concerns are way these gimmicky get thin fast diets do not work,....well they do they fill the pockets of the creators as intended.

    I started at 274 lbs with a 46" waist and I am now 211 lbs with a 32" waist. I did it without any special diet. Eat right and exercise right; it is all you need.

    I'm new as well. I'm 25 and also need some friends for encouragement. (Since no one I know will follow me around blaring "Eye Of The Tiger" while I'm checking ingredient labels). I am just learning to navigate the site so bear with me. :)

    Yes, im finding it to be so much better and more of a "lifestyle change" rather then a "i want to hurry and lose weight" although i was seeing a nutritionist and everything while i did it so it was doctor supervised the entire time so it worked great and I work in the medical field so i got tons of discounts to do it as well ;) my opinion though, I wouldnt do it full replacement again, I can do it while still incorporating regular food which is what i plan to do.

    Although my ticker doesn't reflect it, I'm down almost 140 from my highest weight of 300 (2.2 to go!) but I still have roughly 30-40 to lose (my goal is kind of up in the air) and lots of toning to do. I log every day and I'm so darn addicted to this site (partly because it saved my life) that I will not be going anywhere. Anyone is welcome to add me for some extra support and motivation!


    Edit: I forgot to add that I'm 30 lol

    Heeey! I'm Sarah, 27 years old. I'm a 4th year vet student on my clinical rotations so my schedule depends on what week it is/what rotation I am on. I lost 15lbs by being more aware of what I was eating and finding my soul-mate workout program. I went to Dominican though in May and gained 5 pounds and my vacation extended for like 3 weeks after that!

    I'm back on track now though and love having friends who are active on here!
