in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone.

I'm Lisa, I'm 23, and I want to lose 20-30 pounds. I'm 5'8" and 185 pounds, and I'm sick of creeping toward 200.

I've tried a few other sites sort of like this, but I like this layout/system much better.

This time around, I hope to be an active member of this online community, to help me be more accountable, and I also hope to not get so discouraged, and live or die by the scale.

I do have a pound goal of 20-30, but above that, I would like to fit comfortably back in my size 8 jeans, because I know I was comfortable with my body then. Right now, I'm a size 12.

Please help me have some patience! I hope to get to know some of you in this process.

    You sound just like me! I'm a 20 year old college student and I realized I needed to control my eating, no matter how stressed I got! Add me if you'd like.

    Accountablity to yourself and the friends you make on MFP has been a large part of what is keeping me in track. Good luck

    Thanks everyone. I wasn't expecting responses so quickly. I think my main goal is to not eat out of stress. I tend to binge in those occurrences and I think that is how I have packed on the weight. I also have some 'love' pounds ever since I met my boyfriend over a year ago, and I've had a hard time shedding those!

    My only advice is to log everything! Also, consider opening your diary so that others can view it - now, that's accountability. It was scary for me to do that at first, now it's no big deal. Our weight loss goals are similar - feel free to add me for support. :)
