Hiiieeee! I'm a newbie to clean eating and fitness. Beginning P90X3 Classic exercise and nutrition plan on Monday, 8/11/14. I'm very much looking forward to the exercise program but not the nutrition plan so much, haha. Also, looking forward to meeting other like-minded people to befriend along our fitness journeys. Please, feel free to send me a friend request, as I am new to MFP and am looking for support and encouragement as I begin my final transformation!

I once weighed 498 lbs. on 6/13/02, the date of my gastric bypass surgery.
I'm turning 40 in less than 6 months, so I'm determined to be in the best shape of my life by 1/28/15.
I'm finally to the point in my life where I'm getting happy with who I am as a whole.
I'm a big believer in nutritional supplements, especially probiotics, as they have helped me overcome intestinal issues and food cravings in the last 5 months.
I quit smoking 2 months ago using Chantix and this has helped me greatly in learning "needs" from "wants" and realizing that I can overcome any of my psychological "crutches."0 -
Hi all, I am looking for new friends as well.0

Hi everyone,
I'm Jeff and I live in Vail, Arizona (a small town 25 miles SE of Tucson). I'm 51 years old and have been with my partner for 25+ years and married since 2008. I have struggled with my weight most of my life and am finally looking to turn around the yearly weight gains and become a "LOSER" -- hopefully of about 35 pounds. I know that slow and steady is the way to go. I exercise nearly daily and have been logging my food intake. I cringe sometimes at how high the calorie count goes but have promised myself that I will always completely and honestly log my food - no matter what the food diary looks like. My weakness is that I love to eat in the evenings - sometimes snacks, sometimes whole meals (outside of the main meals of the day). I'm looking for some supportive friends to help me on this journey of healthy habits. Feel free to friend me if you think we'd be a good match.
Peace,
Jeff

3. We have two 20 lb siamese/tabbie brother kitties named Kai and Zeb.

OMG disappearing butt has been the worst! Loose skin also suuucks. At times I wonder why I lost so much weight to just have all this loose skin anyway...still can't walk around shirtless.I did not mind, in fact, I liked being a big guy and like bigger guys. I was very comfortable around 240-250 pounds for a long time. I do kind of miss my butt....
But the health issues just really got to me and I topped out about 292 and now last week I was 194 (on my own scale - I use the program/Dr's for tracking here)
My activity level is so much better, and I'm hoping my energy level comes back after I switch to a higher calorie maintenance program.
... yea, not sure where I fit in the zoo anymore...

Hello all! Not new to mfp but new to this group. I started out my journey at 206lbs. After getting married, I guess I let myself go. I decided that it was time to slim up or ship out. So I now weigh in at 158 and am currently focusing on building muscle and tone rather than losing any more weight. I'm always inspired by the journeys I see on here and it keeps me going day after day. Feel free to add me as a friend!
