    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 :)

    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!!

    I just joined (again) yesterday! I, too, would like to lose about 150 pounds. I've also been overweight my entire life, and my weight has crept up on me the past couple of years especially. Hubby and I are starting to talk about having kids and I know I need to get some weight off before that happens...for my health, the baby's health, and actually being able to GET pregnant! We have a cruise planned for November -- I'd really like to be a little slimmer by then. That's a goal! Please add me...I need the support! :wink:

    I have lost 70lbs in a year. I still have 120lbs to go to reach my average weight. But i set small reachable weight goals just to keep myself motivated. You can do it. This will work.
