in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Ashley and just joined the beginning of this week! So far I absolutely LOVE this! My past weight loss attempts and food journals have been failures rather often!! I'm 5ft and as of this morning 182lbs (I've lost about 4lbs this week). I never had any issues with my weight until I had children. Gaining 70lbs with my first child I was very discouraged when I didn't loose it right away and never did get all the pounds off! Now that my second is 8mo old and I've lost the 18lbs I gained with her (I was VERY conscious of what I ate this time!) I'm ready to get serious and get the rest of this weight off!! My goal is to be at LEAST to 150-160 by the summer. Wether or not this is achieve-able.. we'll see!!

    WOW!!! Your post is interesting. I haven't had the lovely advantage of having children yet but I am currently 18 and a college freshman. I too am 5ft and I currently weigh 185 and my goal weight is like 150-140. :) We could really motivate each other in this. I too am new to MFP but I'm very excited.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. I'm 35 and I have two kids (they are older then yours though, 6 & 9). I had lost weight before kids, then after my second I put on a lot. I lost that with weight watchers, then put on 25 again. Now I'm trying to relose those.

    Hello Ashley!
    I'm new to Myfitnesspal too! :D I'm 17 and am looking forward to reducing at least 15 kgs! ^_^ (Maybe a little impossible)
    I would love to have someone to guide me as well. Even I've tried all kinds of things. Until 10th grade, I was quite active in sports and stuff. But for the past 2 years, I've hardly had any physical exercise for my body. :/:/
    Hopefully, this website helps me! xxxxx (Really excited)
    Oh, and do add me if you want to. You'd be my first buddy here on MFP (:
    Good day! ^^

    I just had my second, and with this pregnancy only gained 25lbs and she was 9lbs 7oz. I still have 9lbs until prepregnancy weight and then would like to keep going to 165as my first goal and 155 as my second. I am 5' 8". I learned my lesson from gaining 40 (but starting overweight) with the first. Good luck to you!!

    Hello,

    My name is Melissa and I work a full time during the day and run a blog in the evenings(http://www.consumerqueen.com ) I am so busy and it's so hard to keep up with my diet and exercise. My cousin works with me now and she and I have been going to the gym at least 4 times out of the week at lunch which has been good. So here is to a new me in 2012. I am hoping to loose 20 pounds.

    A friend from work showed me this sight. I'm almost 25, 5 '4 and currently weight 193. Never in my life have I weighed this much except during pregnancy. I went through a rather nasty breakup and ate my feelings and boy did I have a lot of feelings. Last year around this time I was around 155 pounds and even then trying to lose. I miss my size 7 shorts and cute tops. Hoping this site gives me the motivation and encouragement I need to be the best example for my son in life possible. I don't ever want him to struggle with weight like I did. The only way I can think of making sure that NEVER happens is by setting a good example and getting him started in life on a healthy path and hoping when he grows he keeps with what I've taught him.
