edited October 1 in Success Stories
I have just joined MFP. I'am a 26 yr old mother of 2 boys. I have read so many success stories, and have been inspired by every one of them that I have read! I have been over weight pretty much all my life. I have tried so many different ways to lose weight ( Even the wrong way that were not good for my body) I found the website from a post on FB from one of my friends. I believe I will be able to lose weight now. I did not have money to join these other websites.. I'am thankful for a free place for people to help each other lose weight! My starting weight is 205 and I'am at my heaviest weight ever! Hopefully I will be posting a success story of my own here soon. To all of those out there who have lost weight WAY TO GO! Keep up the great work! I will post before pix soon as I figure out how to.

    Hi - welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend... my name is also Heather and I'm 25 :) hehe. Yep MFP is a really great free resource... I couldn't afford all the expensive websites!

    30 Day Shred is a fitness programme by Jillian Michaels - never tried it to be honest but people on here rave about it.

    Welcome to MFP!!!!

    Always remember....anything you put your mind to you can do. Some days will be harder than others. But as long as you keep trying you can never lose.

    BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF! Because everyone believes in you!

    Hi Heather,

    Welcome to myfitness pal.

    I like you had a starting weight of around 202lbs and am currently around 156lbs after 7 months of using myfitnesspal. I went from a size 20 and am now a size 14.

    I also tried many things and none of them worked!! This is the first place where i felt the motivation i needed and the help and advice i need too - ALL FOR FREE!!

    People on here are so helpful and inspiring and i have made many great friends!!

    We will all support you as much as you need - feel free to add me as a friend so i can help cheer you along!!

    GO LUCK AND GO FOR IT!!

    Welcome I am the mother of 3 boys. I started out at 215 after my third baby. I've got down to 168 now from jan. Largely through exercise and making better food choices but also watching portion sizes. I still allow myself treats cos I think you would go mad without them. This site is great for support and motivation. 30 day shred is a great workout DVD but is a bit of a killer if you are new to exercise. I am on level 3 now and although I play Netball and run also this level is hard going but worth it.

    Thank you guys, I broke things off with my fiance 6 months ago.. I have went down hill from then (weight wise).. Things have been really hard for me being a single momma of 2 boys, but now things are gonna change! I have no support with family but I can see how much support everyone has been giving on here and thats what I need to change!
