Hello everyone! I am new to My Fittness Pal and need all the help I can get. I have been over weight my whole life and recently just hit my max weight, without being pregnant, and I am so depressed and need to get rid of this extra person!!!!! Any advice, I can't believe I let myself get this bad :(

    Hi and welcome! You're going to love this site. :)
    Quit beating yourself up and just start with a clean slate. You want to be healthy, happy and look great! Be positive! Start off by counting your calories and doing some exercise. If you can see where you're getting your calories from and how they affect your weight that would definitely help. We are all here to support you in any way possible. :) Wishing you the best. I know you can do it.

    Hi I have been here for a week. The motivation you can get here is great. Make sure you follow the amount of calories and water allowed each day. Start off doing some walking and/or simple exercise. Let yourself be vocal to your family about what you are doing. I find this helps keep me going when I get supportive feedback. And for sure, make some friends here who can help motivate you and support you. I'll send you a friend request.
