in Introduce Yourself
My name is Ryan I'm 29 years old. I have been using this app for almost 150 days and lost 30 lbs. My goal is to lost 70 more lbs before Dec. 31, 2016. (that's 2016 not 2015). Weight loss is a journey and what I learned is there is no magic pill that you could buy. It is all about hard work, patience, and self awareness.

    Thank you everyone!!!!!!!

    My weight really went to an all time high after finishing my graduate degree. I was always into fitness but going to school for the last 6 years really took a toll on not going to the gym and stress. Add to this my father became ill and was in the ICU for nearly 8 months. He is no longer with us, but I promised him before he passed away that I will take care of myself at all times.

    This app is great it helped a lot. Now I'm trying the social aspect of this app and would like to help people reach their goals and hope people motivate me to reach my goal as well.

    Hi Ryan
    Awesome job on your weight loss. I'm new on here today and excited to give this app a chance. I've been trying for the last month to eat better, but I don't think I'm eating enough sometimes. It sounds like you are a great motivator.
    Also, so sorry for the loss of your dad. I would like to add you as a friend on here. Have a great night

    Excellent job Ryan. I started my weight loss at 330lbs which is 23st7lb but began MFP just now at 18st 11lb as I had levelled out, needed to track my food properly and was told all about the social support this site offers. My goal is to hit 16 stones and stay there with the help of this site.......If you want to add me, feel free

    I am very impressed. And I know exactly what you mean. MFP is great for keeping you on track. Even AFTER you reach your goal.
