Hey all,

My name is Alyssa, or Lyss for short. I'm 22, and struggling with my weight and accepting my current condition. I'm hoping that with this app on my phone, and the fact that I'm always on my phone, I can actually make some progress.

I gained the Freshman 50 in college then fluxuated until my high point at 225. The realization of this weight made me want to sink into a hole and cry, so I knew I had to do something. My job doesn't help my eating habits though, as I work at a Wawa (Convince Store with built in Deli).

I've tried to lose weight before by blogging, but nothing seemed to work, as I quickly lost interest. I hope this isn't the same case.

    Hi and welcome! MFP will help in more ways than you'll expect. I gave it a go a few months ago, because a friend recommended it, and I didn't expect much but for the first time in years I'm actually losing weight. Making friends who you are accountable to and who support you makes a huge difference.

    MFP has opened my eyes to loosing weight and eating responsibly.
    May it do the same for you and help you achieve your aims and aspirations.
