in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I'm new to MFP and I'm looking to connect with others in a similar weight loss journey! I'm 25 years old, married, and have 3 fur babies, a mini Schnauzer named Roxie, a Persian mix cat named Ray, and a domestic shorthair cat named Orion. I live in Lancaster PA and work in a cardiac unit at a local hospital. I've been doing another diet plan for a year and since the company came out with a new program, I havent been able to lose weight! I'm down 68 pounds and have about another 130 to go. I hope to get to know you all! :-)

Amanda

    I too came off of another diet plan, but because I had to go to grad school, and I don't think I could have maintained my weight loss without MFP. I still have a lot to go, but if I can do it, you can too!

    Hello and welcome to MFP. I joined in January and I've found it the most easy to use free tool. I also downloaded the app onto my iPhone. :)

    Keep us posted with how you're doing!

    Hey Amanda, welcome to the group. I used to live in Lancaster County.....graduated from E-town High School. MFP is great. I've been around just a short time and I am greatly encouraged by how friendly people are and how willing everyone is to help. Feel free to add me as a friend if you're looking for encouragement and accountability.

    Hi Amanda! I'm over in Camp Hill (near Harrisburg), so not too far away! I recently tried WW and decided to come back to MFP. I also have a few furbabies myself (two dogs). Good luck on your journey!

    Hi Amanda,

    I am new to this too. I was following WW previously but it stopped working for me so I am hoping this helps. Good luck xx
