Just joined and hoping to get tips and words of encouragment to start shedding off some pounds. My goal weight is to lose 50 and have abs for the first time in my life.

    I'm 24 y/o, 5'7'' as well and started using MFP when I reached 190 lbs a month ago. This is a great place to find new workout ideas, nutritional info, and friends :) I'll add you and we can motivate each other!

    Welcome to MFP, it's an excellent weight loss resource, equally as good and beter than most expensive diet clubs and it's free. You'll soon be shedding those pounds!

    My top tip is: if you haven't already, get some digital kitchen scales to keep on top of portion sizes as the amount you can have as a serving is usually a lot smaller than most people think so the scales stop secret calories sneaking in and sabotaging your weight loss.

    Good luck!
