Hey guys. My name is Bethany and I'm 26. I'm new to MPF and dont have any friends here yet. Maybe it's my own insecurities but I feel awkward sending some random person a friend request. I'd love to support others on their weight loss journey and would love to have others support as well.
I guess I should write a little about me huh? Well I work as a bookkeeper for a fire retardant thread company in Baltimore MD. I've been overweight for as long as I remember. My starting weight was 266 and I'm currently 254. It occurred to me not that long ago that I have no idea what I really look like under all this fat and that's down right sad. lol. I've tried more time than I can count to lose weight but have learned since joining this website that I was doing all the wrong things so no wonder I was never successful. I feel like this time is different. I've taken my new knowledge and applied it to my weight loss strategy and I feel extremely confident that it's gonna work this time. So far I've lost 12 pounds and am anxious for Mondays weigh in.
So anyways - I'm here if you want a new friend. I'd love to be a part of your journey. :)

    I felt awkward too but people are really friendly on year. I probably added about 20 ppl and not one person every said anything rude or asked the whole "who are you" thing. In fact they comment and encourage you! And so far for me 10 times out of 10, they accept.

    Don't worry about it! :)
