in Introduce Yourself
Hello!! I'm truly excited about this page so far!! I began this week and I feel awesome doing it! Sadly, I'm not new to this whole weight losing struggle, since I was a young teen I been struggling with my weight and Is been even harder since I was diagnosed with hypothyroid 3 years ago. However, I have decided to stay positive. I have tried many weight losing programs like weigh watchers when I was younger and I went from a size 19 to a size 11!! However, in a year I gained some weight back. Then I tried jenny craig and I lost 30 pounds but then started eating normal food again and gained!! This time around I want to lose weight while eating foods I can cook myself and know that I'll be losing weight while eating normal food but in portions! Im so happy I came across this page without even looking for it! I'm currently 22, 5'4 and 255, I had never in my entire life been this heavy, I truly want to show everyone this time around that I CAN DO IT AND KEEP IT OFF!! My goal is to be 145-150 I know is going to be hard work but I want to show myself and others I'm a new strong -willed woman. I would love to meet new friends and support here!!
Have a Blessed day!!

    Hi, Welcome to MFP...my experience so far has been that everyone is very supportive and encouraging. I don't know any of my "friends" personally, as we all live in different parts of the country, but still the support is AWESOME!!!!!. For me, I only make it through those days when I want to give up or give in because of a word of encouragement from someone. Feel free to add me as a friend. Congradulations on starting your journey again and keep in mind that if you did it before you can do it again. Best Wishes.

    This is my first week too. I also did Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, and WW. WW worked but the new program wasn't so I'm doing this and it seems much easier to count calories instead of points, Friend me if you want!
