Hi! I just joined a week and a half ago. I'm a 20-something, going into my senior year of college. I'm trying to lose about 35 lbs that I've accrued over the past 8 years...College has been especially hard, my major is not conducive to a healthy lifestyle. I have tried to lose before and failed, and I'm really hoping this time is different--I've never counted calories before. That being said, I'd love a friend or two on here! Add me if you like

    I heard about myfitness pal from the trainer that runs our gym at work. I just joined the website today. I like the idea of a food and exercise diary online. I am heading towards 50 years old I have more time for myself and a girlfriend has joined up with me. Wish me luck!!

    Welcome to MFP! This is a great website and it really helps you keep on track. So many motivated people! I am a graduate student - so know the difficulty it is to keep eating right and working out when having a full course load. Feel free to add me!

    I used to make unhealthy lifestyle choices. As a result, I gained a lot of weight in the past few months. However, I'm changing all of that. Thanks to this website, I have been successful in losing some weight and I'm feeling good about myself. =]

    Hi, I am new to mfp also. I have been seriously working on losing weight for the last year. I have had a weight prob most of my life and have decided I no longer want to be heavy. I will do whatever I can to live a healthy lifestyle! I have been stuck at my current weight for the past 3 months; I'm so frustrated. Looking for friends and support. Please add me if your looking for a buddy to work threw weight loss together.
