Hi everyone!

I'm Tabatha. Happily married 26 yr old mom of one from south ga. I've been on mfp for about two weeks and have lost right under 8 lbs so far. My goal is to lose 100-125. My starting weight was exactly 300lb. Ouch. That hurts. Mentally, emotionally, and esp physically.. Esp when you have a 23 mo old that has energy for days. I'm not trying tyo be 120lbs... In highschool I was 145 and looked too thin IMO. I was happiest with my body around 175, so I'd like to be somewhere around there. Us southern folks like a little meat on the bone. ;) we are also looking forward with to having another baby, but I would like to lose at least 50lbs first. If you can relate, please friend me! I'd love to follow some other ladies in the same boat. :)

    I sent friend request. I started at 300 lbs in April. I can very much relate to your struggle. I am down 17 lbs so far and amazed at the increase in energy and just the desire to be moving and doing something all the time now. You can do this!!!! Eat less, move more. That is my simple strategy and MFP is perfect for tracking both. Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your story.

Had a bad (sick and stressed) week and I gained 8!!! Just came in from a walk and I'm determined to turn this around! Best of luck and feel free to add!

    Hi! I'm looking for pals in the same boat as me. I'm 31 yrs old and have a 4 year old and twins who just turned 2. Theyre all boys and have energy for days! I'm at 290lb right now and want to lose 100lb to start with. Once I'm down to 190 I'll reevaluate but a hundred is daunting enough just now!
    If this sounds a bit like you please add me as I'd love to encourage and support you guys along the way x
