My name is Stephanie and I am 39 years old. I am new to MFP but I am loving it so far. I want to meet other people here that are struggling with Type 2 Diabetes and/or trying to loose weight. I have joined our local Biggest Loser contest which is coordinated with our YMCA and it's called TEAM LEAN. I need all the encouragement I can get. There is a cash prize but I'm wanting to be healthier and off all this medication that I'm currently on. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

    :ohwell: Hi Everyone!
    I apparently have joined, but have not taken advantage of all this site has to offer. I am an obsessive-compulsive person who gets overwhelmed easily, so I just give up. I need lots of encouragement. I don't have alot of weight to lose, but I would like to get in shape.

    Hi, Stephanie! I'm Kat. I'm 25 years old, not new to the MFP tracker but definitely new to the MFP community. I'm also trying to lose weight, in my case because I'd like to be comfortable playing sports like volleyball without feeling like I'm holding my team back, and because I'd like to be proud of myself instead of making excuses for how I look.

    Good luck to you as you kick off the TEAM LEAN challenge! You can do it, and you'll feel great once the weight starts coming off.

    Hi Stephanie,

    I am not necessarily new to the site, but I have always just lurked around here. I am thinking that for the new year, it may help me to participate here, so here I am!

    I am Melissa, 34 years old, with quite a bit of weight to lose.
