my name is jade, and this is actually my second day on myfitnesspal! i'm 5'5" or 5'6", and i'm 220 lbs, which is the most i've ever weighed. my goal is to be 140-150 lbs, hence my username : 140150. i love reading the success stories, and i hope that i'll have a success story to share soon!

i really like that according to myfitnesspal, if every day were like today, i would weigh 203.6 lbs in five weeks because in about two months, i'm going to hong kong and i would like to lose 20 lbs by then. this is a lifestyle change for me, but i sure would like to have that extra confidence!

i would love to talk to you guys, especially if you want to lose / have lost about 70-80 lbs! and anyone who has used myfitnesspal in a country that's first language isn't english because i'm worried about not being able to read the nutrition facts!

    Hi, Jade!! I'm from the South as well but I am a native born American ... I was 214 lbs (down to 190) w/ a goal weight of 140-150. Are you moving to Hong Kong permanently? If so, I wish you well. A friend of mine was born there, but left before the British handed over control to China.

    I'd love to support you if you'd like ...

    hello there! i'm going to hong kong for school, so i'm only going to be there for two months. :) i'm a little worried because even though a lot of people speak english there, i don't know if the nutrition facts are in english. if they aren't, shopping is going to take a long, long time, ahaha.

    and yes, please do! i need all of the support that i can get. :)
