Hello everyone. My name is Anissa and I just joined the site, thanks to my lovely cousin. I am at my highest weight right now (just over 300#) and I can't believe that I've allowed myself to get this bad.

I was considering weight loss surgery, until today, and I am hoping that this tool & your support will help me be successful on my own.

I know that I can do it because it's been done before. I just lacked the support that I needed...until NOW.

I'm excited to meet you all as we travel on our weight loss journeys.

God bless. :o)

    Welcome! It's my first day on here, too, but I've already received many kind messages from people! I've been trying to lose weight without any support, and haven't been successful. I think with lots of prayers and the support of the community on here, we'll be successful in our weight loss!

    welcome to the site guys. I was considering surgery as well but i have heard so many bad things about it that i decided to do it on my own. Logging my food and exercise is great. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I have and I still am.

    Welcome & Good Luck!!! This app has helped me so much. By logging in my calorie intake, it has opened up my eyes!! Prior to I noticed I would eat here & there without control. I am now more attentive. I recently downloaded the nike gps for my app phone & it keeps tracks of how long & far you run, which at the moment I am simply using it to track miles walked. Since getting it, I get excited everyday to go walking just because I know the more I walk, the quicker I will hit a milestone according to the app.

    Again good luck and hope to see you succeed every step of the way!! XOXO

    WOW!!! I am completely overwhelmed by the number of replied of gotten already. You all have totally made my day!!! :blushing:

    I NEVER expected you to even read my post, but I am certainly glad that you did. I agree that having support makes losing weight much easier, and now I know that I have people on my side who can relate with me. I am NOT alone anymore.

    Thank God for this site, all of you, and my cousin for even telling me about this today. :happy: Now, I can actually stop the process of trying to be approved for a surgery I didn't really want but felt so desperate to do, and can now use this lovely tool to help me more than I ever could alone.

    I'm even more excited now, thanks to you all.

    God bless!!

    Hi My name is Melissa and today I have joined myfitness pal with the help of some of my new friends. I plan to begin Turbo Fire tomorrow as I am waiting on delivery. I started my new lifestyle today and did pretty well. Hope to loose 120.00 pounds and stay fit and healthy. Thanks.
