New and would love some buddies.

Hi there!
I'm brand new to MFP. Been reading the boards etc. I am 38 and 284 lbs. I use to be on weight watchers and when I left I gained 50 pounds plus 30 pounds...all together 80 lbs. I decided to join MFP this past Friday and stop making excuses on why I can't do it and started telling myself I can. It's just a long road and I get really discouraged. Would love to have friends on here who've lost weight using MFP or who are just starting this journey. Any and all help would be appreciated. I'd love to be supportive to people as well. :)

    MFP has really helped me. I started a week ago using the community & getting friends and have stuck to the journey. It has been awesome. Feel free to add me :smile:

    Thank you all for the add :). Day three done here. Can't wait to see the results come Friday. Hoping to be in the 270s finally. One day at a time is all we need to take :)
