in Introduce Yourself
... to MFP.
... to weight loss.


I am starting out now on a long journey. My initial goal is to lose 100 pounds, then i will reevaluate and set another goal. I am looking for support, motivation, friends. My name is Nikki, I am 24, weigh 300 lbs and am just starting. My biggest downfall is accountability. No one in my life will tell me no, you dont want those cookies, or have you gone for a walk today. Im hoping there is someone out there who can be there for me in this hard journey im embarking on.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

    I was the same way--since I've started accounting for my actions (tracking food and exercise) I actually feel guilty when I "fall off the wagon". When you see those first few pounds disappear--you'll feel the same way!

    Feel free to add me as a friend--good luck, we're all here for the same reason :)

    You have taken the first step - and that is the hardest one of all. Welcome and always looking for friends if you want. I have been on this journey for over a year now and it is still a challenge, always will be. A life change is never easy but the beneifts in the end are limitless.

    Keep a beautiful smile and a positive attitude and I know you will accomplish your goals!
