hi. i'm rachel. i've been using myfitnesspal on and off for a few months, but without much conviction. i'm really trying to motivate myself to get back in shape. i lost 25+ pounds starting last august, and then i switched jobs and gained all of it back... plus 10 lbs. it's such a bummer.
i have to lose my excess weight to stay healthy. i'm afraid i'm headed for trouble if i don't turn this around (diabetes in my family), so i'm looking for support and accountability. i'm hoping i can find that here.
i have about 55 lbs to lose, and that seems impossible at the moment. but i'm ready to try.
thanks for reading!

    Feel free to add me as a friend for support, I am working to get rid of around 30 lbs, so I feel your pain. The good news is you got it off before, so you know you can do it again.

    Hi!

    My name is Laura. I had my baby boy on the 10th of may 2011. I have an eating disorder so eating has been hard! but the recovery process helped when I fell pregnant, Knowing that I had to eat for my growing baby. I also quit smoking and drinking and have never been happier!

    Now im getting into the heathy side of things and I am in need of support after a MASSIVE weight gain of 46kgs :O (thats what happens when your body is forced to eat normally after starvation. so silly!) I would love some friends to keep me healthy and motivated! I accept all requests and offer help and support aswell.

    Hi, I am new to this site. I lost 25 lbs last year on the body by vi challenge. I lost it in 45 days without exercise. I have maintained my weight by using the product doing 1 shake a day. I have heard and read lots of great reviews about this site. I have set a new fitness goal to tone and add lean muscle. I have started this past week on working out for an hour to an hour and a half at least 4 days a week. I am also keeping track of my calorie intake by using the food diary on this site. I have also downloaded it on my phone fo quick and handy access:)
    Hugs,
    Michelle

    You can add me too. I lost my Dad in May and have been putting on weight since then. Cancer survivor of 5 years and need to keep the weight off. I need to lose about 20 lbs to be comfortable in my skin so maybe we can motivate each other? Welcome back.

    Hello, Lynn here and have very much enjoyed this program. Simple to use and you can your meals any time which is something I like. I'm an old guy of 57 and have lost 7 lb's in just a couple of weeks eating whatever I want, that includes beer and bloody marys.
