Hey y'all. I just finished my first week using MFP and exercising. Quick back story: I am 32yrs old, 5'7, 216lbs. I've been overweight my entire life and I'm just...tired. Tired of looking in the mirror and hating what I see. I havent been under 200 since middle school. It has colored my whole life, being the fat girl. So I'm working hard to make a change. I would LOVE to have some friends who are going through similar struggles. I have issues with depression and anxiety and always seem to sabotage myself and become overwhelmed with the whole process. At this moment, I am proud of making it through week 1, although I'm anxious about weighing in. Is it working? Am I doing enough? Anyway, please feel free to add me! Thank you.

    I am supporting you . I am also willing to lose 30 kg. I already lost 3.5 kg in 10 days. Running and diet work very well. You just have to put your ambition high and never fall for unhealthy food again !
    Life will change trust me. It is just a 6 months and time is passing by so fast so yeah !!
    Lets lose fat !!!!

    Week one down 4.8lbs! I know every week won't be so high, but it's good motivation to keep on truckin! And today was the first day my projected week in 5 weeks had a 1 in the front. Getting under 200 is my first major goal, so I'm feeling pretty excited :smile:

    Congratulations! I've been overweight for the past nine years at 33yrs. I started my journey one year and three months ago and just downloaded this app today. It has taken me awhile to get the results I got today so don't get discouraged. Feel free to add. :)
