in Introduce Yourself
Hey y'all. my name is Sam, and I was on here a long time ago with a different username, but that was before when I wasn't actually ready to lose weight. I'm ready now, and I'm prepared to work hard for my goal. I'm sitting at 223 lbs right now on my 5'1 frame, I'm looking to lose between 80-100 lbs, not sure of an exact goal as of right now. I could really use some good friends to hold me accountable and who I can help cheer on as well :)

    Welcome and I too, have started this journey a few times but guess I wasn't really ready. I am very determined and would be happy to be your myfitnesspal friend as well. Good luck on your journey. Don't forget not to beat yourself up if you "slip up" and have an off day. Tomorrow is a new day and another chance to start fresh. You can do it!!! I know you can.

    Hi Sam,

    I'm Vanessa. On my 2nd week. I'm 5ft 5in & my target it to lose 75lbs, lost 5lbs in my first week & have 70lbs to go.
    I have been on here before last year - am still using same user name, but like you wasn't really 100% focused, but am determined to do it this time, no matter how long it takes me!

    Please add me as a friend if you would like.

    Good Luck!

    :smile:
