in Introduce Yourself
Hello, to all the people on myfitnesspal.com

A friend of mine told me about MFP and after reading some profiles and blogs, I feel like I've found a support system to share in the trials and tribulations of losing weight. I didn't want to make any new year's resolutions because I usually do not follow through; however, one month into the new year, I realize I do need to make a life change.
At this current moment, I weigh 284 pounds, and I want to be 200 pounds. Please wish me luck on my mission to 200 pounds...

    Welcome and good luck!! You can do this. This is such a terrific place for support (and a good butt kicking) if you need it.

    I also did not make any new years resolutions. I made a goal to be down 75 pounds from my start weight by the end of the year. The goal, instead of a resolution, to me is easier to live by. I have 11 more months to get there. :happy:

    I wish you lots of luck with your goal. Feel free to friend me if you want.

    I can tell you this is the right place to start. I have battled with weight my entire adult life and have never had the sucess like I have had here. Its so easy and it works. :happy: I have lost 29 lbs so far my goals are very close to yours I want to weigh between 185 to 200 somewhere in that range. I wish you all the luck in your journey, you can do it.

    Welcome!!!! I just started too. I check in everyday to read about how everybody is doing. I like to read how much weight members have lost. It makes me feel like I can do it to. And so can you.

    Welcome! It's a huge commitment, but MFP is one that can change your life. It's all about conscious eating and shakin' that fabulous bod :-).

    I don't do NY resolutions, either...I feel like they set you up for failure, and then guilt.
    Good for you for making the commitment to make a 'lifestyle change'...that's key.

    Good luck on your journey! You'll love the site...the people are awesome, and it's like crack...so addictive!! :wink:

    I'll send you a friend request...trust me, the more friends the better!!
