Hi, my name is Jessica and today marks the first day of my weight loss journey. I am the proud mother of 3 boys and 2 stepchildren, and wife to my highschool sweetheart of almost 2 years. I have heard a lot about MFP and decided to give it a shot. I need all the help and support that I can get here. I have been overweight most of my life and finally decided to do something about it. I have to lose quite a bit of weight (120lbs give or take) and I know it's going to be a long journey but I'm willing to work hard to achieve it. I look forward to meeting all of you and hopefully make a few friends along the way.

    Welcome. I am in a similar situation. I have just began using MFP and need to lose 120-125 lbs.

    Congratulations on taking this first step.

    Nice to meet you both! I recently took a leap and got a membership at Anytime Fitness and so far have a few workout buddies so I'm hoping this will help lol My downfall is everytime in the past when I have worked out and start feeling sore, I tell myself that I'll give it a few days and then I'll workout again and never do so I plan to change that this time around lol
