in Getting Started
Hi! I'm Audri, I'm just starting my journey and new to the fitness pal community. Over the past few years I've been stuck in between 230-240lbs. I've given up multiple times and I just don't wanna start over anymore. I'm 5'3 and 26yo and I'm ready to do this!!!

    I'm with you! I need to lose that much too - at least. I'm 5'7" and 51 years old (!!!), and am hovering around 300lbs. (Sigh) I was on the right track for a while...was down 36lbs, but just recently missed 6 weeks at the gym, proper eating, drinking too much and feel right back where I started.
    I wish you luck. Keep in touch!

    I have about 30 lbs to go. My wife is on WW and she has some good accountability, but some encouragement and accountability from MFP members would be helpful.

    I'm with you too! I'm 5'4" and currently around 270, the heaviest I've ever been. I've struggled with weight loss for so many years and, like you, don't want to start over anymore! In the past I did WW and lost 40 lbs, but then stopped trying and gained it all back and then some. MFP has been a good motivator this time around, but additional support is always great.

    I love to motivate and support people! One of the things I love about MFP and the community. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with this struggle. Good luck on everyone's journey and also feel free to add me too

    Audri, you aren't alone.. Since I've returned to school, I have gained 40 pounds.. Sometimes I feel like giving up, but I don't. I just keep going and try to make changes.

    I'm in agreement with support groups. I have one on FB for moral support, but I wouldn't mind one here since it's where my progress isl listed! If you get a group going let me know. :smiley:
