in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! My name is Mandy and I am so excited to join my fitness pal! I have been overweight since I was around 11 years old. Now I'm 24 and ready to change! I was looking into weight watchers but it just wasn't convenient right now (cost plus travel..the nearest meeting was 50 minutes away!). When I first found MFP I thought it was too good to be true! It had everything I wanted from food tracking and planning, to accountability and fellowship!

Here is a little bit more about me!
- I am 5 feet 7 inches tall.
- My highest weight is 255.
- My starting weight for this journey was 235.4 (on 11/09)
- My current weight is 229 (on 11/16)
- I weigh myself on wednesday mornings.
- My husband and I just celebrated 2 wonderful years together.
- I have an 8 month old little girl named Kacey Beth.
- I love ALL things disney.
- I love Jesus.
- I live in Indiana.
- My goal weight is 155.


I can't wait to get to know you all better as we accomplish our goals one pound at a time!

    Hi Mandy. I'm Rachel and very excited too. I've been overweight since I was 6. I'm ready to look in the mirror one day and finally be satisfied.

    Hi! I am pretty new to MFP also (almost 2 weeks). I see so much of me in you! My family loves Disney as well and your weight history is so similar to mine!! Plus you and I are heading into the "colder" months-I live in Wisconsin.
    You can add me as a friend and hopefully you will enjoy this as much I am.
    I agree-once I found out about this it seemed too good to be true-MFP is AWESOME!

    Hey Mandy-
    I am over twice your age and live 2000 miles away from you in S Florida but I wanted to let you know that this works and I am proof of it as I have been here since Feb 2011 and have lost 96 lbs! I still have 24more to go but I am thrilled with where I am right now!
    I would love to help you and follow you in your journey to a new lifestyle! (I don't believe in the "D" word) Been there done that many many times with varying results but none long lasting.

    Good luck and welcome to first day in the rest of your life! Remember: FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!
