in Introduce Yourself
I started Myfitnesspal back on January 4th 2010 at 293 pounds! Between now and then I have had a hiatus of a few months and have recently returned. My current weight is now at 247.9 and I couldn't be happier. I see a lot of the older folks, (no offense to anyone over 30 lol), who are really shedding the weight and are always showing their support. I would love to find some peeps my own age on here who are seriously looking to lose some major weight and who are committed loggers. If you are in this to win it, please add me!

    hey there! I'm 24 and am taking my LAST final EVER tomorrow morning. I've been on MFP for a year and a half and I have 12 lbs left to lose. I'm one of those log-in streakers (i'm near 300 consecutive days) and i also love twilight!

    I'd love to support one another!

    Hi! Well, I'm not in College anymore (I graduated a few years ago) but I work for a University! lol. I'm 27 and I LOVE MFP. It sounds like you and I have similar situations too - at my heaviest, I toppled over even more than your highest, and last year, after dropping nearly 60 pounds, I joined MFP and started on the right track. I fell off the wagon for a while but I came back with a new found motivation more recently and I am dedicated to do this! I'd love to add you and help support you in your journey!

    welcome!

    im 19, and just about to start my second year of college. im doing a Bachelors in Mathematics. i totally understand the difficulties of trying to lose weight when you have so much other stuff going on, especially exam season! from february to the start of may i lost about 13 pounds. then, when classes stopped and exams started, the stress caused my weight to creep back up as i comforted myself with icecream, cookies and all sorts of junk.

    im off for summer vacation now but i move back to the city in 3 weeks. im so excited to get back in the rhythm of school and weightloss.

    i started my weightloss at 259, got to a low of 213 in april/may this year, then the weight creeped up again. im now at 230 :(

    good luck to you!

    Thank you guys so much for the friend requests! I've sent a few myself, and unfortunately, you can only send 5 within a 10 minute period, but if anyone else is out there, please come and join the club! I have a feeling with all the new support, we're going to be reaching our goals in no time. Keep em' coming!!!

    :happy: :heart:
