in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone.

I am new to MFP and I am hoping to use the site for accountability and support. I am almost 32 yrs old and currently weigh 365lbs. Am 6ft tall and my goal is to weigh 200lbs. I'm tired of the aches and pains from trying to keep up with my 2yr old. I want to be a healthy mom and it starts now. Anyone with me?

    Hi there!!! I love MFP for accountability. You can track everything you eat and do. I personally am not trying to get skinny- just healthy. I am not on a diet- do not like the word diet. I prefer lifestyle change. I am a work at home mother of five. Over the last two months I have lost weight but gained more muscle- so it works out. I also just started a group on facebook a few days ago just for this reason. Change. If you like we can become friends on here- and you can even join my group if you like. I think it is wonderful that you are wanting to get healthier for your 2 year old- that in itself is an awesome motivator. Please feel free to message me if you like. But if not- I wish you all the best on your journey <3

    Hi and welcome! I am similar to you, 32 and my start weight was 361lbs in May. I was 354lbs when I started mfp two weeks ago and I love it here! The support is amazing and really helps me stay on track. Every single thumbs up and like makes me smile and feel motivated to keep going!

    You can do it!
