in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! My name is Hannah! I joined MFP a year or two ago, but never used it. I joined Jenny Craig, had a great support system, and lost around 80 pounds! Unfortunately, over the last year, I've put about 40 of those pounds back on! I cant keep doing this to myself! My clothes are getting tight again, I don't like the way I look..again! And I'm over 300 Pounds ...again. ENOUGH with the AGAINs! So Here I am! Looking for support, and am using the MFP app on my phone to log my food through out the day:)

    Hi! I kind of did the same thing, joined and didn't really use it until recently. I don't use the calorie counter, but the people around here motivate me to keep going :smile:

    Hi, I've sent you a friend request. I've got about the same amount to lose as you. I've just joined MFP, but I have been round the house, and up and down weight-wise too. Hoping this time it'll stick :)

    I have done this program in the past. I lost about 50 pounds and then quit the program and gained most of it back. Have to lose the weight (Type 2 Diabetes). I need to be around for my 5 daughters and my wife of 25 years. Please feel free to add me. Always more fun and motivational when you are talking to others.

    Hello! My profile pic is me at my heaviest...330. That was summer of 2011. I lost 70 pounds in 3 months so I could go to Disneyland. After that trip I stopped working out, it was cold and I stopped watching what I ate and went back to 300. This year after a divorce, helping my mom fight cancer and a few other life stessers, I quit smoking and then started watching what I ate again, then someone gave me a treadmill and I started walking again. That was about a month ago...I have lost 26 pounds again! and I am not stopping this time. Don't give up...you are doing this for you!! Once you get into a good routine you will start feeling AWESOME...even after a work out!!! I know I do. Another thing that motivates me is that picture...I never want to see her again! I will find out what skinny is and I am determined to find out before the end of 2015! Right now I only need about another 88 pounds to my goal weight!! I know I can do that!! Feel free to add me!

    I'll definitely add you! :) One advantage to my height is that I don't look as heavy as I am. I'm 6'1" - and big boned. In all seriousness. I am still obese always have been..but I also know that at 220, I will look great, if not 230! We can do this! We'll be rocking it out! and CONGRATS on quitting smoking and walking and your weight loss so far! AWESOME! I need to hang fat picks up on the fridge for me to...I'm going to go dig up some old pics..I need to take some current ones too. I might even do the...*looks around from left to right before whispering* The underwear and bra picks people do...or something similar...I've never taken one of those pics.
