HI!

Excited to be here - this is my first day tracking with myfitnesspal - I'm encouraged by the success stories posted... hoping that will be me in the coming months and year. I've tried everything over the years: WW, Nutrisystem, Medifast, Slim-fast... you name it, I've done it. Had success with WW about 10 years ago, but gained it back in about 3 years. Now, I'm at my heaviest... I have approximately 100 lbs to lose - oh my! Hoping for support!

    Hey Amy,
    Good job getting back to it! The hardest part is deciding to start. I started at 340 and lost 22 pounds so far. Trying to get down to 180-190 eventually. Take it in small weight loss sections. You'll find yourself jumping up and down and laughing with each 5-10 that you lose. Also remember, this is not a temporary thing, this is a life long thing that you can't stop. Friend me if you'd like.

    Amy,

    When I started with MFP I had over a 100 lbs to lose (that was in April of this year), I can proudly say I have lost 64 of those lbs already. It is not an easy road and any one that says it is is lying. It is hard but if you want it, really want it, you can do it. This site is great for support, encouragement, challenges, and keeping you on track with your caloric intake. Good luck!! Feel free to add me.

    I too have way more weight to lose than I ever wanted to admit. After finding MFP I finally believe that this can be attainable. With all the great ppl on here it's so much easier. Good luck on your journey!

    Hello Amy! I just joined a few days ago and my first goal is 100lbs. I started around 305 and have lost about 15lbs so far since August. (of course I haven't really been TRYING yet) I just have changed my diet and also am going through a divorce. I just recieved a workout dvd from my friend in the mail and cannot wait to start it!! Feel free to add me as a friend:-) GOOD LUCK!
