Hi, I'm Kristen.
I've tried losing weight before, but I've always lost motivation along the way.
Hopefully, I can stay with losing this time around with MFP!
I'm looking to lose around 65 pounds overall.
I'm already starting to see small results, I got a gym membership about three weeks ago.
I have a few problems with food, but I'm trying to cut down.
So, I guess I'm looking for some friends to keep me motivated, and me to motivate!
I've took a look around the boards, and everyone seems to be really nice! :smile:

    Hey Kristen! Welcome to the site :) The motivation and encouragement from community members here makes such a difference, and it's especially helped me to connect to people around our age who are generally going through the same things and facing the same challenges. Feel free to friend me! Good luck! :)

    Thanks! I feel like it will make a difference and keep me motivated b/c before I had no idea how many calories I was consuming and this website makes it so easy to keep track.

    Aw, good for you! I've always been a little chubby, even as a little kid, but these last two years I've put on probably 35 pounds or so! I'm just sort of sick of it, and I'd much rather be healthier. I'm sure we'll both gain some disipline from this site. :smile:
