Hello, I'm Priscilla. I just actively started using MFP. Looking to talking to people who are motivated since I tend to lack on it. I have PCPS which makes losing weight that much more difficult. I've always been curvy, but I have now reached my highest of 235lbs and being that I'm only 4'11 it's starting to affected me. I'm ready for a change and to get my life back. It'll be nice to talk to others who are on a weight loss journey as well.

    I currently claim central Florida as my home, and I hate it soooo much. It shouldn't be this hot, already! Anyways, it can be hard, but It'll be worth it for sure. I'm a ways taller than you, at 5'7, and still have maybe another 15 I want to lose. I started about two years ago, and have lost just over 100lbs solely by walking. Started at 240ish. I did half on my own without MFP, and then the other half with help from here. I started off at just a mile or two a day, but these days if the weather is fine and I have the time nine isn't uncommon. I really need to take up running to cut time though. pfft. Thinking of taking up boxing/kick boxing later on in the year when things at the house chill down. I think I'm starting to get off track, but anyways! You can do it. Just don't give in and give up, and let yourself have that piece of chocolate when you have room for it.
    It just started pouring, so so much for going out.

    Nice. I used to live in Orlando. Now I'm in South FL. It's pretty boring boring here, but maybe it's cause I don't know many people. 100lbs? WOW! That's amazing. I would love to get down to 150lbs again. So I have a long way to go. I tend to get discouraged when I don't see results. It's almost been a week since I've been on a diet so far so good. I need to stay away from the chocolate. Haha! I need to take up walking. Right now I'm just doing the 1,200 calorie count. Taking up boxing would be an awesome activity to do. I always wanted to do it myself. It's pouring out well aren't you lucky? Lol! Wish it was pouring over here.
