I am 38 years old, 5'9. My starting weight was 305.6, my current weight is 246.6(maybe less, but haven't weighed in again yet). My goal is 165/170 range. I'm a single mom of a ten year old son who's my world, and my inspiration(besides myself) for a healthier me. I work full-time, have my own hair braiding business part time(for now), and I'm working on my first novel with a goal of completing by my birthday in April(as birthday gift to myself). Just happy about how far I've come on this weight loss journey, and looking forward to more success.

I'm 5'8" and turned 40 last March. I have a husband and a 10 year old daughter. After a healthy childhood, fell into awful food habits as an adult, along with a stop to pretty much any exercise. My heaviest was in the 230s. My knees are shot, I have high BP, and am seeing my daughter adopt poor eating habits. Started losing seriously in September, thanks to my primary doc referring me to a weight management specialist and a great nutritionist. I struggle with accountability and can't resist food if I'm near it. Not doing any fad diets, just long term shift of mindset re: food and working to set a better example for my daughter. Haven't been exercising but am working on strengthening my knees to do more. Looking forward to this group (the first I've ever joined) and checking in with others who are also working toward the same goals!

Heaviest weight: 255

I'm 43 years old and live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm a married Mom of three kids (1 adult and 2 teens) and although my husband, friends and kids are very supportive I'm an emotional eater. I'm working on my own personal wellness on many levels and recovering from a recent depression (in which I packed on some additional poundage) but have had success with MFP in the past. I love the structure, the simplicity and the "If you ate this every day you'd weight 037.5 pounds in 5-weeks" feature.

I've never joined a group on MFP before and I may just sit back quietly but I'll still participate and I'm happy to be here.

I'm 25M, about 6'4. Heaviest weight was 268, then dropped down to 205, and then over the past 3 years gained back to 255. Sitting at 248 as of Monday morning.

Hi,

I am 5'4". I have been married 25 years. I have three great kids. I have a desk job and work very long hours. I want to make exercise and healthy eating a normal part of my life. Most of my life I had a reasonably normal weight, but the pounds inched up over the years. I also gained about 20 pounds after my mom died and never permanently dropped those pounds. I want to get healthy, look nice during vacations (in shorts and a swimsuit!), and look good for my oldest daughter's wedding. Thanks for the support and encouragement!
