    I have been using MFP for a while and find that active users are the best help. Looking for friends to lose some weight with. I want to get back in shape for summer (thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day and every other holiday has beef a weight challenge for me).

    Be friends with me! I need the support as well. :(

    Started on here in 2012 when I was 260 and needed to get in better shape. I have stuck around to help me maintain. I am in better shape at 41 than I was in High School and plan on maintaining that for the rest of my life.

    I'm here because at the beginning of the year my husband and I were talking about what we wanted to accomplish this year. Somewhere in that conversation we decided this would be the year we would take that big step in expanding our family by having a baby. I was so excited at first, but was suddenly saddened when he brought up my current weight problem and how that would effect a pregnancy. My mom was overweight with both my sisters and I, and as such she was high risk. My mother-in-law also had issues when she was pregnant with my husband(He was over 10 pounds and she needed an emergency hysterectomy). With this in mind I had to take a step back and look at all my failed plans to be healthy and my expanding waistline. I googled weight tracking and fitness apps, and one site listed this as one of the top apps. Seeing it was free I thought I would give it a shot. That same day I gave up pop, and am now 44 days 'soda-sober'.

    I have only been a part of MFP since Jan 8, and have since lost 15 pounds. My goal is to lose a total of 60 by September. If I can accomplish that we will move forward with the plan of building our family, but in a much more healthy way than if we were to jump into it now.

    My motivational mantra right now is: What do I want more, (insert food) or a healthy baby?

    Been maintaining for 5 years. Log for a couple of months a yrar to make sure of my porion sizes. I am back, now, to regulate CICO because of exercise regime changes, so I don't lose.
    Cheers, h.
