i am excited to start my journey! i have tried a little bit of everything over the years to lose weight. i have NEVER not been overweight/obese. i am ready know what it is like to not live like this. i am ready to live life and not let life leave me behind because of my weight.
i had my first scare w/ high blood pressure 2 weeks ago. i lost 16 lbs on my own before i started mfp.. and dropped my blood pressure back to very close to normal.. but i would like to have some more support from people who have been or are where i am.. i would like to lose about 150obs. i am fully aware this is going to be a long journey. i need some people who won't let me give up. and give me a pat on the back when it is deserved. thank you all. i hope we can mutually support each other. :)

    Welcome to MFP! I'm new too and I love the energy from this site. Remember to take things one step at a time, one day at a time. We are all in this together, but there's work we all must do individually. My new mindset is to eat to live, rather live to eat. Join me as we take control of lives.
