hi all!

i'm excited to be on this site and to start my new lifestyle of being healthy, making good choices and staying positive.

i am 27, overweight and it has been affecting who i am, how i carry myself and my self confidence to a detrimental degree. my goal is that by the time i'm 28 (10 months), i have become a new person who exudes self confidence, isn't afraid to try new things, has a newfound energy to live each day to the fullest and loves every minute of it.

i would LOVE to have friends on this site to help keep me motivated, to share my successes with, but most of all, to keep me accountable.with MFP messages, check ins, emails, text mgs, etc.

look forward to hearing from all of you!

thanks,
nish

    I love this site and have never had weight loss success until now. I am still making adjustments and trying to get where I need to be, but I have made more progress toward getting healthier than I have in years. Feel free to send me a friend request! I live in Kingston, TN and have lots of pets! christijhill

    Hi Nish,

    I too am starting today and have a total goal of losing 58lbs. i'm starting small and want to lose at least 10lbs before Thanksgiving...I will begin my workout routine today when I get in from work...planning to work out 6 days a week with 3 days of strength training a week. I'm looking forward to this journey to a new ME!! Let's encourage and motivate on another as we work to reach higher heights...

    I know I sometimes need motivation and one of my major problems is that I enjoy drinking coffee with cream & sugar..and I know the sugar is empty calories...I'm gonna try to slowly give up the sugar and go black...not looking forward to that taste..I've done that before but couldn't stick to it longer than 12 weeks...

    I'm planning to track my weight but probably not weekly as my weight fluctuates all over the place.

    Wishing you all the best!
