New With About 150 Pounds To Lose

Options
Hi everyone!

So. I'm new. I just joined MFP earlier this week and have been logging everyday. I didn't think it'd be so easy, but it has been. Maybe that's just the motivation and excitement (who gets excited about starting a diet?) of beginning again, I'm not sure. But as my discussion title says, I've got about 150 pounds to lose. As such, I'll be on MFP for quite some time.

I'd love some motivation, help and advice along the way if you're interested in being friends. :) Believe me when I say, every bit of encouragement is MUCH appreciated! What 25 year old wants to weigh over 300 pounds? I don't! I'm ready to shed this weight and finally have the courage to live my life!

    Congratulations in your first steps to getting healthy. Just by deciding to keep track of your foods is a major accomplishment in itself. Don't overwhelm yourself with too much stuff. Do small things that can make an impact in a positive way to weight loss. In other words set small goals and pass through them to the next. Good luck!

    Right here with you all. Got 150ish pounds left that I'd like to lose before I start to feel comfortable in my own skin.

    Back in action here at MFP; feel free to add me.

    Let's do this!
