Hi,
My name is Cheryl and I'll be 32 in May :( I am currently trying very hard to get healthier and be more active. I've struggled with weight issues my whole life and you know what I'm tired of struggling. I started using this program to log my food and exercise because it was an app on my phone what I've found is that I love it even more on my computer.. I am down 9.2 pounds had a bad couple of days :) I am looking for people to not only help me stay motivated (cause we all know how hard that is) but to whom I can be an encouragement as well... My starting weight was 320lbs(heaviest I've ever been) I am now down to 311lbs and hope to be 300 or less by my birthday. I'd love to make new friends with everyone but I feel more inspired by people who started around the same weight or have about the same to lose. Not that I wouldn't be friends with everyone who request me because we are all here for the same reason To live longer healthier and more active lives.. Hope to make many many friends

    I need to lose 80, but feel free to friend me. You can do this, we all can! I too have struggled my whole life, but one thing I am doing differently this time is not depriving myself. If I want a piece of chocolate, I eat 1 or 2 pieces. yes, sometimes it's hard to stop, but my husband rations it for me :-0 If it's there, I'll eat it, otherwise, it's out of sight, out of mind. Good luck to you.

    I don't have pictures and stuff up yet, but I'm brand new to this and would love if any of you would add me as a "friend". I think having someone able to see what I'm doing will subconsciously help me stay on track. If I just do it myself I figure, meh, no one can see, who cares if I cheat.

    I'm a 30 year old female, lots of weight to lose. I'd like to lose at least 100 pounds, more if I can.

    Sounds like I'm in the right place! I have a long-term goal of 100 pounds, but a more immediate goal of losing as much as I can in time for my little sister's wedding in September. Somewhere between those goals, I should be getting out of the "obese" category.

    It's awesome seeing all the weight everyone has lost already, and how motivated we all are! Keep at it, and I hope to see everyone in the forums!

    Hi everyone, I am just getting started on MFP and I too have over 100 lbs to lose. I am finding it increasingly difficult to lose weight so having a place with this much support should help a lot!
    I just turned 30 and I weigh 320lbs, I am hoping to be much healthier and weigh less by my 31 st birthday!

    Feel free to add me and we can support each other.

    Hi everyone! I joined this site last year, got sidetracked and re-committed in January. This time it's sticking and I'm really quite obsessed with getting healthy.

    So far I've lost about 29 pds and as great as that is, I find the support I've been lucky enough to get here to be even more inspiring. It never ceases to amaze me how much we rejoice and embrace others on the same path as we are.

    Anyway, feel free to add me. I've got about 70 pds left so I'll be around for a long while. :)
