Hi! I'm Sue, 40, and am currently weighing in at 216 pounds! My goal is to get back to 140 pounds. I am disabled and since becoming I'll nearly 3 years ago I have put on over 5 stone due to medication, lack of mobility and lots and lots of comfort eating!! The main culprits are chocolate and sandwiches...I live on sandwiches!! I can't excercise so my weight loss is going to be all through diet, I'm planning on making this change for life so it's a lifestyle change, not just a diet. My main challenges are going to be maintaining this when I'm having a flare up in my symptoms, at these times I spend a lot of time in bed and can be there for a few days at a time so will just eat whatever's at hand to fill a hole! It is going to be a long journey for me and would LOVE some friends to join me along the way!! Thanks for reading and good luck!! Xxx

    Hey there! Trying to lose at least 100 lbs (that's my first goal, in writing.)
    Truly, my first goal is to get to 'onederland'. I haven't been there in so long I wonder what I will feel like there! Feel free to add me. I'm in Texas, US but love mfp friends from all over the world.

    Feel free to add me too! Iv got 80+ pounds to lose! :-)
  • Hey! I used this app a couple years ago and lost 75 lbs in 6 months. Since then I've gone through a divorce moved 500 miles and gone from a stay at home mom to a working mom of 5 and I've put on about 20 lbs since then. I've caught myself getting discouraged when I look in the mirror lately so I'm back at it starting today! Good luck with your goals I know you can do it
