in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, I'm Michelle, 27 going on 28 and I'm about 150 lbs overweight. I've struggled with obesity my whole life and I'm not depressed or sad over it lol I grew to learn to love myself. But I know for health reasons I need to take control of my weight. I suffer with PCOS which makes it even more difficult to loose weight and so much easier to gain it smh. But now I'm finally doing something proactive when it comes to my health journey. And I believe MFP is a great way to help keep me accountable. So please feel free to add me and we'll keep each other on the straight and narrow lol talk to you guys soon :)

    yip, this is the best way I've found, been a weight watchers member for as long as I can remember, but this is working much better for me :). From my heaviest ive lost about 42lbs, I want to lose at least another 50. Adding friends and following their journey is helping me a lot too, feel free to add me, for some reason I can't add people x

    Hey girl, Add me if you'd like! I love MFP for the support (which, as it turns out, is a very important tool in your weight loss arsenal.) Believe me, I get lazy or unmotivated but every time I log in to MFP I feel reenergized and ready to take on the challenge. It is a struggle, and it isn't easy. But the most amazing things in life are often the ones we work the hardest for.

    Love and Peace, my friend.

    Hi Michelle
    My name is also michele and I am very new to this site ( I just downloaded 2 days ago). I need to lose 40 to 50 pounds and if I don't then it's cholesterol pills for the rest of my life, I don't like taking pills. I am 46 years old and I have found just like you said it's easier to put on than take off. I will also need friends to help me with this so if you would like to do this together I'm willing to give it a shot :)
