in Introduce Yourself
My wife and I are sick of being fat and out of shape. We're just getting going with the app. So far I'm down 11 and feelin pretty good. Anyone looking to be buddies give me a holler. I am determined to stick to the program so, I could use all the encouragement I can get, and would love to help anyone who needs positive reinforcement as well!

    No kidding, small world. I teach in Gwinnett. Yeah it's been a long long pendulum of gaining and losing for me but never getting too far. I just love food too damn much, plus we have 4 kids so making time to work out is tough. This is gonna be my summer of success though, no turning back. Are you and your wife on the same plan?

    I'm 40 and stuck right now. Frustrated. Nobody on my friends list seem to be encouraging anymore.

    I'm not quite 40 yet, but I got the fat part down to a T. ;) Congrats on the success so far, and good luck on your journey forward! :)

    That's great that you lost the amount of weight you did so far. Keep it up! Stay motivated and focused! My motivation is to see my newborn niece grow up. I'm sure you'd feel the same way with your 4 children.

    I was 430 in March. I changed a few eating habits, and dropped 60 in a couple months. I stalled for a bit, and a few of my friends turned me on to MFP...And here I am. I'm in my first week here, but can tell it's going to help me! I love social networking, and this ties that together perfectly with weight loss. :)

    I live in Helen, Ga. I'm sick of my weight constantly fluctuating. I'm gaining more and more weight and I'm trying to get back to being healthy. Good too see that there are some people not far away getting healthy!

    Not quite 40 (but I'll be 38 in October. Eeek) and hoping by the time I am 40 I'll be super fit :)

    My youngest baby is 13 months and I've got about 20lbs to go. I'm not massive, but I am technically overweight.
