HI there, My name is Alisa. Today is my day one of my journey in losing weight and feeling great. I am 184lbs today and have a goal to reach 150. I am 45 years old today and am excited about the changes in my live. I look forward to cheer you all on and collaborate on different ideas on food menus or workouts.

Hello, my name is Kayla. Today is the day I am starting my journey to losing weight and wanting to feel great. I am currently at my heaviest weight I have ever been and I am very ashamed of myself. So I am looking forward to change in my live I want to be better for my kids so I can be here for them and do things with them. I am looking forward to being in this group.

Hello Everyone, my name is Ana. Recently divorced, looking for a positive change in my life. I am currently 167 lbs and my goal weight is 130 lbs. it is very difficult for me to stay within the 1200 calorie range and this is why I am looking for support and like minded people.

Howdy! My name is Paula. I'm 47 years old, live in Lincoln, NE, and 37 lbs toward a 50 lb goal (I hope to reach it by Independence Day). This whole process started thanks to a physical last Sept, when my doctor asked me to become more active and gently advised, "Losing as little as 10 lbs would really help a lot" (I was in the Obese category for BMI). My bloodwork was a bit of a mess, too- super low D and high liver levels. So, I cut out alcohol, added the vitamins he suggested, and got my butt off the chaise lounge and started moving! I could barely get around the block- it was pretty bad. I gradually increased my activity level until I was walking 2mi/day, 5-6 days/week. Then, I fell on the ice during my daily walk the day after Thanksgiving and had to have a plate and 10 screws in my dominant hand. =( I did a lot of research into what sorts of foods help/harm bone regrowth and that really began the whole food focus for me. I refuse to call the food changes I've made a 'diet'- usually, I just say that I'm making healthy choices (no sugar/soft drinks, lean proteins, lots and lots of veggies, etc). I didn't start logging food until the past month, when I realized I need to begin paying attention to where I am calorically to help with the eventual transition to maintenance. I've bumped up my exercise further, adding in strength training (some of which is continuing PT for my left wrist) and doing sprints during my 30 min of cardio each day.
Feel free to send me a friend request- I'm a bit of an introvert (actually I'm a lot of an introvert- INFJ for those interested in Myers-Briggs stuff like me) but I do like to make new friends and support other folks on their journey.

Hi everybody my name is Leanne, im 28 from north east England im a single parent with 2 children. Im studying at college at the moment too. Im currently 154 lb aiming to lose around 10lbs / fit into some of my old jeans lol. Looking to all of you for motivation and support

Hi, I'm Becky. Glad to have found you all and thanks to whoever started the group. Well, I'm starting TODAY, May 1, after getting on the scale and seeing my highest weight ever. I'm still in shock. I got on the scale a second time to make sure and it said O--LD. I don't think that means OLD (even though I'm 61), I think it means OVERLOAD. So, talk about a wake-up call. I've been on MFP before but never stuck with it. This time, I'm going to. Kay, you're not the heaviest one anymore. I weigh 336.4, and I'm only 5'4". I'm probably the heaviest AND the oldest.

Hello. My name is Mateja and I'm 5'7 and currently I'm 156 pounds. My heaviest weight was 183 pounds and my lowest 141. My goal is 132-ish. I might stop before that because I don't want to be too skinny, I still like some curves
