Hi MFP!
I am 22 years old and from Texas, and I have been on a diet for as long as I can remember. In the last 6 years, I have gained 70 pounds. I can't continue at this rate any longer. As I am getting older, the weight is harder and harder to lose. I am in decent shape as I played softball for ten years (and recently stopped when I graduated from college). Now, I try to go to the gym 3-5 times a week and stay under 1200 calories. I have been on mfp for one week and have already lost weight!
I'd love any support. Anyone and everyone is welcome to add me as a friend, hopefully you don't mind a stranger commenting on your posts to provide support, of course.
I started at 200 pounds and my goal weight is 150.
Other facts about me: The hardest food for me to give up is ice cream. I love watching biggest loser! I am thinking about starting to take the classes offered at my gym and joining the racquet ball league. My main motivation is looking good for myself and my long-term boyfriend.
Also, something I could especially use advice on is finding great low calorie foods to eat, especially ones that don't leave you hungry 30 minutes later. Right now, I am eating a lot of grilled chicken.
Thanks MFP; I'm excited to be here!

Hi!
Your story feels SO similar to mine.
I also just joined MFP, am a recent college grad at age 22, and am trying to stay motivated to lose the weight I've accumulated over the years. I was never an athlete though, which makes it hard to know where to start.
Friend me! We can keep each other motivated!
I know we can do it.
