So I'm new to MFP!
I've been a serial dieter since I was 14 (I'm 29 now!). I've tried every diet you can think of. Some have worked, some have made me crumple into a ball of despair (the thought of food in powder form just makes me want to cry!).
My weight has fluctuated everywhere between 150 lbs to 280 lbs (textbook yo-yo dieter).
Now as I creep towards my 30's it's really hit home how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle. And that's where MFP and you lovely people come in.
I'm looking for a sensible, realistic way to get to an healthy weight. I want to become more active. And I need fitness friends!
I would love it if you MFP veterans can add me to help me along. Or any newbies that wants a buddy that's in the same boat as me.
I'm currently around the 250 lb mark (I'm buying new weighing scales tomorrow!). My ambition is to loose about 96-100 lbs...so I'll need alot of support!
Please feel free to add me and send a message!

Welcome Joda, What have you thought of to get more active?0

Thank you
Well I'm hoping to get involved in a team sport. I started playing baseball earlier this year, but the season is now over until the summer. I want to see if I can train to do a 5k, and would love to take up weightlifting!
All a bit ambitious, so I'll need to take baby steps!1 -

I think sport is a great idea. I'd love to play cricket if anyone played around me. Weightlifting is also a good idea because muscle burns more calories they say. You're wise to start off with baby steps. Good luck.1 -
Adding you! I cab definitely relate!0
