Hi! I'm new to the community and am hoping that becoming involved here will push me to achieve my weight loss goals! I'm a 26-year-old artist and machinist currently weighing over 400 lbs. My scale won't even go high enough to give me a proper measurement. I'm tired of being overweight, and am going to work towards becoming the person I know I can be!

If you'd like to follow and support me in my journey, feel free to add me!

    Congratulations for making the first step :)

    You CAN do this. It may sound like a struggle and of course it won't be simply but it'll be worth it. Break your weight loss into smaller increments (example: 7lbs per month) and you'll feel fantastic each time you reach an individual goal. Stick with MFP and you'll succeed - there is so much support available here and a great bunch of people here to give advice and motivate you.

    I wish you the very best of luck.
