    I stepped on the scale and it creaked and groaned before telling me the bad news: 343 pounds. And my dad asked if I broke the scale. Ouch.
    But today I woke up with determination. The same determination I had in college when I lost 75 pounds my freshman year. I can do this - but I need help. I can commit to MFP. I can commit to being a good encourager on here - but I need friends to go on this journey with me. Whether you need to lose 150 pounds or 75 or 10.

    You can do it. I've lost 90 so far and have 45 more to go. The struggle is real but so exciting when you see changes

    Hi There! I relate to your share. I am currently at 324, down from somewhere around 342. I would have to look back to see. I joined the gym just before thanksgiving, invested in a trainer despite our financial problems, after realizing if I knew how to lose weight I already would have. I am starting MFP today, per my trainers request. I would love to walk this journey with you. :D

    Started this journey a couple of months ago. It's been a rollercoaster with lots of highs and lows. It not just about losing weight but regaining who I AM, feeling comfortable, not being ashamed and embarrassed and also being HEALTHY.
    Going shopping for clothes in a nightmare, my wardrobe is full of black gloomy clothes.... And I haven't had a family photo for over 9 years.
    My current goal is to be able to play with my children without getting out of breath within minutes.
    Feel free to add me

    100 pounds might seem impossible but it really isn't if you take it one day and one pound at a time. I'm 74 pounds and a third attempt into the 100 I started out wanting to lose. You will get there too.
