in Introduce Yourself
Hello all! This is my second time trying out MFP (the first time was over Thanksgiving and, well, I think we all know how that worked out) and I'm looking for some friends for encouragement! I am 22 years old, and need to lose about 60ish pounds...I know what to do, how to do it, and how to do it right, but it's actually doing its the hard problem!

    Thank you!

    Most people either love them, or absolutely cannot stand them, lol. It's usually a hot debate. :)

    Hello,
    I could use some encouragement!!! ( I am sure we all can) I just started day two at the gym! I have to workout due to high blood pressure problems! I am a 26 year old, and doc says I need to lose about 15 to 20 lbs.

    I am new to this site as well....this site makes it so easy to track your food...its up to you to stick to it! By using MFP, i have learned how to control my portions and the kinds of foods that i eat..and it makes me more aware of what i am eating. My plan for now is fruit , oatmeal, or a slim fast for breakfast, then a lean cuisine and fruit for lunch with water, then a lean cuisine for dinner with 1 to 1.5 cups of my favorite veggies with water . The one thing i allow myself is my large cup of coffee in the morning...now that i cant give up! :) Good luck to you and welcome!

    Hi all... I'm newish to MFP as well... I signed up months ago but never really used it....(although I was still working towards my goal) I would love if any of you would add me for motivation! Nice to know I'm not the only one passing up all that yummy chocolate cake! Yummm! My goal is to lose 45-50 pounds (I've lost 18 already)... I'm 21 years old and decided that it was time to make a change when I saw a pic taken at my birthday in June where I was eating cake and didn't even recognize myself (I looked like a cow) ... Well thanks for reading and looking forward to the requests :)

    Hi, My name is Shannon. I set up MFP a few months ago but I'm just now using it. So, far I love it. I can come on here and see actually want I'm eating, how many calories, water etc. I think this is going to be a wonderful tool.

    Ah well I have a few myself, I did have my septum done in the past as well but I took it out when I got a really bad sinus infection one year (unrelated to the piercing obviously, but it was very uncomfortable!) I toy with the idea of getting it re-pierced regularly :)

    I can relate to the picture taking. That's when I realized just what I look like and how overweight I am... I'm going to start taking pictures of my progress for motivation... Good luck to you.: )

    Hiya, I have been here for a few months but somehow haven't really made that many friends, so it would be nice to have someone to be motivated with.

    i joined MFP last year but haven't been active (or dieting) for the last 8 months so i'm starting over again. Anyone is free to friend me :) my first time doing this was great and i received (and gave) a lot of support and encouragement. Here's to a great 2012 :drinker:

    Hi! I am new too. Just started yesterday. I was hesitant to start as I am still nursing my 8mo old. But I figure I can add extra calories and start getting into a good habit now before I start weaning in 4 months. I did WW before expecting my daughter and this site is very similar to that. Excited!!
