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 :)

    I wish you luck on your journey, and here to support you. I just got back on my workout game .I fell off for the past year and half but back on it now. Don't stress about it just take it one day at a time, and never try to go cold turkey with eating. Just eat small portions and drink plenty of water, and make sure to get cardio in a few times a week.

    Hi I'm AJ I've set this up as I've need to lose over 100lbs after having a life threatening PE. My job is very sedentary and although I have two very active kids I'm not. I'll get support from my wife but but she has a BMI of 21 my BMI is 36 so I'm hoping to get support from people who understand what I might be going through when times get tough.

    Down from 300 lbs to currently 215 it can be done. Wish I had this app and community when I 1st started. MFP makes it so much easier! Good luck. Stay the course and stay consistent

    Michelle - I'm there with you!! Let's connect bc I'd love to see posts too & feel the inspiration. I'm starting at 270 so more like 130-140 to lose. I know it can be done just need to get on the right path. I've tried MFP a few times but fell off. I'm on a streak of 3 weeks consistently working out and now want a tool to plan weekly meals. I've learned that Planning = Success bc it takes away the unknown & falling into temptation. So excited for you! Let's do it!!

    Michelle, I am 26 and was just diagnosed with PCOS. I'd love to connect and keep each other accountable. I've only been using MFP for a few days but I've been working out for a few weeks. I weigh 222, but am under 5 feet tall so technically I should try to lose 100 pounds. My personal goal is to get back to my high school weight of 180.

    Hi! Right there with you and many of the others. I'll be 28 in April and need to lose 150 lbs to get to my healthy/goal weight. I've been struggling for years now and I'm sick of being fat and sick. We can do this!!! <3 I've already sent some friend request and hope we all can help motivate each other!!
